Strange Frames and Stringings

Over the decades, tennis racket designers and manufacturers have continuously experimented with shape, material, grip, and stringing. Some innovations became mainstream, while others remained curiosities or experimental side projects.

On this page, you’ll find a selection of rackets and stringings that deviate from the standard, often inspired by patents or original design ideas. They showcase the creativity and technical ingenuity of their time, from ergonomic handles to double-handed frames and unusual stringing systems.
