Racket

A racket comprising:

• a frame;
• a grommet mounted on the frame, the grommet including a plurality of tubular parts;
• and
• strings forming a face of the racket, wherein
• each of the tubular parts includes a through hole through which a corresponding one of the strings is passed,
• the through hole includes a base opening, a side wall, and a tip opening,
• at least one of the plurality of tubular parts includes a non-circular tip opening,
• assuming an imaginary dividing plane that is perpendicular to the face and that divides the non-circular tip opening into a first opening portion and a second opening portion shorter than the first opening portion in a direction parallel to the face, an inside dimension of the first opening portion in a direction perpendicular to the face increases gradually from one end of the non-circular tip opening in the direction parallel to the face to the dividing plane, and
• in the tubular part including the non-circular tip opening, the string passes through the first opening portion and is in contact with the side wall from the base opening to the tip opening.
