DESCRIPTION
In 1930, when this tennis racquet was made, racquets were heavy and made of wood. They were liable to twist out of shape due to the tension on the strings. As a result, tennis racquets were kept in wooden pressess, with a metal spring helping to clamp down the wooden frame. In 2014, such an arrangement is likely to cause puzzlement to a modern outdoor girl. Outdoor girl – more photos of the same model: More British sports & grounds More of this outdoor girl model
