About
A tennis racket is a lightweight sports frame measuring 27 inches (0.685 m) long with an open stringed head.
Adult tennis rackets typically range from 27 to 29 inches (0.685 to 0.74 m) in length, while junior rackets can be as short as 19 inches (0.48 m). They are larger and sturdier than squash or badminton rackets, which use narrower heads and lighter frames. Despite having a broad hitting face that spans over 100 square inches, modern composite materials keep the total weight comparable to a standard soup can.
From Wikipedia
A racket or racquet is an item of sporting equipment used to strike a ball or shuttlecock in a variety of sports. A racket consists of three major components: a widened distal end known as the head, an elongated handle known as the grip, and a reinforced connection between the head and handle known as the throat or heart.
