Abstract
A method is provided of stabilizing a sport racket strung with synthetic strings, such as nylon strings, and imparting thereto additional friction that enables to achieve improved ball control during play, which comprises: roughening the strings at least in the main hitting area of the racket; coating the roughened strings with a polymer capable of stabilizing the strings and providing the same with extra friction; and curing the polymer on the strings so as to produce an essentially permanent polymeric coating at least in the main hitting area of the racket. Also the improved racket treated in accordance with the above method is part of the present invention.
