exceptional resiliency and extra driva are obtained from the shaft. Under the normal construction the shaft is, of course, locked by the handle slips and the shock of impact is largely taken by the shoulders of the frames and, of course, the gut. In our Pli-baft" construction however, the shock is absorbed by the whole of the shaft as well, with the result that not only are the shoulders (always the weakest part of the racket) relieved of some of the strain, but additional resiliency is obtained as well. Experience is rapidly leading us to conclude that the design of a racket along these lines represents one of the greatest advances which has

ever taken place in the evolution of the tennis racket.
