Abstract:
A weight and belt assembly which may be strapped on a tennis racquet at any desired position along the shaft thereof in order to modify the balance of the racquet or to serve as a training aid. The assembly consists of a weighted plate having a pair of parallel slots therein and a belt which is threaded through the slots to support the plate. A buckle loop is attached to one end of the belt and a tab to the other, the tab having a uniform pile of stiff hook-shaped fibers thereon which constitute the male component of a fabric fastener whose female component is formed along the surface of the belt by randomly dispersed fibers. To strap the assembly to the shaft at a desired position thereof, the shaft is encircled by the belt with the plate lying against one side thereof, the tab being pulled through the buckle loop on the other side of the shaft and being folded over to cause the male component to engage the female component, thereby holding the assembly tightly on the shaft.
