It is another object of the present invention to provide a multifunction racket, which is convenient for y the user to carry.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a multifunction racket, which reduces air resistance, and allows shifting of the center of gravity and changing the shock absorbing characteristic.

To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, the multifunction racket comprises a head frame located on a main imaginary plane and having at least one elongated slot and at least one rib position in the elongated slot. The elongated slot extends substantially in a direction perpendicular to the main imaginary plane. By means of the aforesaid arrangement, the air resistance of the racket of the present invention can be lowered when the user swings the racket to his the ball.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the multifunction racket further comprises at least one shock absorbing member received in the elongated slot of the head frame to shift the center of gravity of the racket and to change the shock absorbing characteristic of the racket.
