The first tennis rackets were invented in the 1500, although there is little evidence that the ancient civilizations had made up the game. But for sure we can say that the French we the know to first play. During the 12th century, French monks played the game of tennis. In fact they are believed to have played without the rackets we imagine today. Instead, they played with bare hands or with gloves. But the French are given credit for the invention of tennis.

We had the metal framed rackets in 1922! As this was introduced by William A. Lenard. This was good for many reasons, it was more powerful and it had better looks, and it had better strings. The new strings were made of cow guts, synthetic guts, nylon fiber and polyester.

The strings that we use today are the same as those as the ones we used over 50 years ago. The main difference between the rackets are the frames and designs. The design has changed so that it is easier to play the game and is more advanced in power, like aluminum and other metals including liquid metals. Graphite, boron, and carbon fiber are also used. the last 2 paragraphs were by Xavar Bangash
