What is a "racket"?

A racket is a sports equipment used to hit a ball or shuttlecock in games like tennis, badminton, and squash. It consists of a handle and a round or oval-shaped frame with strings stretched across it, forming a hitting surface. Rackets come in various sizes and designs, depending on the sport and the player's needs. The frame is usually made from lightweight materials like graphite, carbon fiber, or aluminum, while the strings are typically made from nylon or synthetic materials. A racket allows players to control and strike the ball or shuttlecock with precision during the game.
