    This was on ebay for $5 USD.

    hehehe... can't believe our ancestors played with these. :lol:

    Oh well... I bet they'd be looking at us and laughing, because we have racquet heads shaped like their racquet cases :lol:

    Why do they have those extra wooden frame things on them? I actually had 1 of these before. Its not bad, a little heavy though, obviously. But its not bad.....

    I assume the extra frame on the racket is for mounting them on something

    Hmm... I'll have to ask around... I know of 4 possible people who might.
    I'll get back to you when I find out.

    Believe it or not, but the frames are to prevent the frames from warping when they're not being used. Wood absorbs moisture, you know... it is the same with old wooden tennis racquets.
