Racket sports games includes the popular sports of tennis, ping pong, badminton, and squash. The rackets used in these sports usually consist of a handled frame with an open hoop across which a network of cord is tightly stretched. Sometimes the racket is a hard solid paddle.

Furthermore, research shows that the term “Racquet” comes from the Flemish word "Raketsen" which is derived from Middle French word "Rachasser", which means "to strike the ball back".
