Design Phase:

1. Conceptualization: Engineers and designers create sketches, digital models, and prototypes based on market trends, player preferences, and performance goals.

Material Selection:

2. Material Procurement: High-quality materials like carbon fiber, fiberglass, polymers, and specific cores are sourced based on desired characteristics such as strength, flexibility, and weight.

Manufacturing Process:

3. Molding: The chosen materials are molded into the shape of the racket’s frame and core using specialized molds and presses.
4. Curing: The molded components are cured to achieve structural integrity and durability.
5. Cutting and Shaping: Excess material is trimmed, and the frame is refined to the desired shape and size, often using precision cutting tools.

Application of Features:

6. Grommet Installation: Grommets, which protect the strings and provide structural support, are installed along the racket’s frame.
7. Handle Attachment: Handles, typically made of materials like cork, are affixed to the racket, often incorporating vibration-dampening technologies.
8. Stringing: Strings, commonly made of synthetic materials or natural gut, are woven into the racket’s frame according to desired tension and pattern, influencing the racket’s playability.

Quality Control and Finishing:

9. Quality Assurance: Each racket undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets specified standards for weight, balance, tension, and structural integrity.
10. Painting and Finishing: Rackets are painted, often with customized designs or brand logos, and finished with protective coatings to enhance durability.

Packaging and Distribution:

11. Packaging: Rackets are packaged securely, often including additional accessories like grips or covers, ready for distribution.
12. Distribution: Finished rackets are shipped to retailers, distributors, or directly to customers.
