    Rackets (British English) or Racquets (American English) is an indoor racquet sport played in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. The sport is infrequently called "hard rackets," possibly to distinguish it from the related sport of squash (formerly called "squash rackets"). World champions 1911–13, 1929–35 Charles Williams (Great Britain) 1913–29 Jock Soutar (USA)

    i used to use a wooden tennis racquet. it had focused a lot more on control than power. this only makes me wonder how long the tennis matches must have been without powerful winner shots.
