The purpose of this book is to present an accurate and comprehensive picture of the development of the tennis racket from its beginning to the mid-1950's. Development of the tennis racket is as interesting as the development of the game itself, which has been studied extensively by many authorities and students of the game. One can gain insight into the game itself by studying the transformations the racket has undergone. About the author: At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign John was a member of the tennis team in the early 1950's, and received his Ph.D. in Human Environment Physiology in 1963.
