Feature:
1. Tennis Racket Invention: In the 14th century, Italians invented the tennis racket. The earliest tennis racket appeared in the 16th century and was made of parchment. In the 17th century, after tennis was introduced to Britain, the racket was no longer flat parchment, but catgut. In 1874, the British man Walter C. Wingfield manufactured wooden rackets, which were used for the following century.
2. Retro Racket: The wooden racket from 1880 to 1920 can be considered as an retro racket . Initially, it was formed by processing sturdy model pieces of wood, and later slowly cut into thin pieces of bamboo or wood, which were bent and baked into shape.
3. Aged Wooden Racket: From 1920 to 1940, commonly known as the aged wooden racket , it began to use brick stacked wood and incorporate some aerodynamic structural design. The leather grip also gradually became more detailed, and the production of wooden rackets was also a quite complex technical process, involving the cutting, adhesion, baking, bending forming, painting, reinforcement, and other aspects of the wood.
4. Popularity for Nearly 100 Years: Wooden rackets also have unavoidable drawbacks, such as moisture and variability. However, in the specific era at that time, before the emergence of iron and aluminum rackets, these restrictions did not hinder their popularity for nearly 100 years.
5. Monumental Significance: With the development of wooden tennis rackets, they have long been replaced by lighter and better carbon tennis rackets, but the era of wooden tennis rackets is still a milestone.
