To provide a racket frame which is especially suitable for regulation-ball tennis and has good flipping.

A high stiffness board 20 is adhered to the front of the racket frame from the shaft section side of a grip part 4 to a midway in the longitudinal direction of a shaft section 3 and an elastic body 30 is laid between the end vicinity on the face section side of this high stiffness board 20 and the shaft section 3. Also, a soft material 40 for vibration absorption is laid between the side edge of the high stiffness board 20 and the shaft section 3 and the grip part 4. The high stiffness board 20 consists of a compound material formed by impregnation of a synthetic resin to a woven fabric of high resilience fibers of carbon, and the like. The raised section 32 of the elastic body 30 is fitted to an opening 23 of the high stiffness board 20.
