Meaning of "racquet" ("raqueta"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

A racquet is something you hold in your hand to hit a ball or a shuttlecock in games like tennis, badminton, or squash. It has a long handle, and at the top there is an oval or round frame with strings pulled tight like a little net. When you swing the racquet, the strings help you hit the ball hard and send it flying to the other side of the court.
