Abstract
An improved racket weighting device for use with any existing racket having a shaft with a throat connected to a frame during warm-up, practice or actual play in sports such as tennis, badminton, squash or the like. The device includes a non-continuous flexible member adapted to be wrapped at least one time around the throat of the racket, supplemental weight integrally associated with the member, the hooks, self-adhering synthetic fabric fasteners or the like for securely attaching the member to the racket. The improved racket weighting device is particularly useful for temporarily adding supplemental weight to a racket in order to develop a better shot by strengthening the critical parts of the arm.
