The handle (2) has at least a first bulb (10) defined by a first constriction (E1), a thickening (R1), and another constriction (E2), the first bulb presenting a section that is octagonal at all points, being defined by a rectangle truncated by four chamfers, the transverse dimensions of the first bulb increasing substantially continuously from each constriction (E1, E2) going towards the thickening (R1), the transverse dimensions of the bulb being as follows: AE1 lies in the range 31.25 mm to 33.25 mm; BE1 lies in the range 27 mm to 29 mm; CE1 lies in the range 8 mm to 14 mm; AR1 lies in the range 34.5 mm to 36.5 mm; BR1 lies in the range 30 mm to 32 mm; CR1 lies in the range 10 mm to 16 mm; AE2 lies in the range 30.5 mm to 32.5 mm; BE2 lies in the range 26.5 mm to 28.5 mm; and CE2 lies in the range 8 mm to 14 mm.
A tennis racket handle having at least a first bulb defined by a first constriction or “end” constriction located towards the free end of the handle, a first thickening, and another constriction or “middle” constriction, said first bulb presenting a section that is octagonal at all points, being defined by a rectangle truncated by four chamfers oriented in particular at 45° relative to the size of said rectangle, the transverse dimensions of the first bulb increasing in substantially continuous manner from each constriction going towards the thickening, the transverse dimensions of the first bulb being as follows, where A and B are respectively the length and the width of said rectangle, and C is the length of each chamfer, A, B, and C being taken respectively at the first constriction, at the first thickening, and at the second constriction:
