Sure. But it will do them little good, as you need your body-weight behind the racquet (in other words holding it) to redirect the ball back into the oppositions court.
And I believe there is a matter of a "misconduct fine" imposed on the "thrower" so, as long as you are willing to pay that (say $5 - 10,000.00) for the infraction; go ahead and toss it. I am of course referring to professional play.
Yes, you can. If you have an arm and a racket it's possible. But of course there will be some 'fallout'. If it's a casual game with a friend you may loose a pal. If your playing in a real competition you will probably be asked to leave the court. As in the case of McEnroe and Wimbledon, you will be asked to leave and not return.
So it all comes down to choices and consequences. If you don't care if you are in good standing with the rest of the world, by all means, throw that racket.
If the ball only touched the racquet....the ball is good.
tennis ball
When the ball hits the tennis racket, topspin (preffered stroke of tennis) makes the ball spin. The upward motion of the racket hitting the tennis ball.
No, it's 'these tennis rackets and ball'
a tennis racket,ball,and court
To play tennis, you need a tennis court, a tennis racket for each player, and a tennis ball. If you are playing singles, one player stands on each side of the net, for doubles, two players are on each side of the net. Players hit the ball with the racket back and forth over the net.
Yes. Rule 2.05.07 states that... "A player strikes the ball if he touches it in play with his racket, held in the hand, or with his racket hand below the wrist." This means that all of the following are legal and will constitute a good return. You can hit the ball with ... * the rubber on your table tennis racket, or * the edge of your table tennis racket, or * the handle of your table tennis racket, or * any part of your racket hand below the wrist, including the fingers of your racket hand
You swing your racket at the ball
So he wouldn’t make a racket! (canned laughter)
Yes, the weight. The lighter the tennis racket, the lighter you hit the ball. The heavier racket can hit harder shots.
There are two sides to the stringing pattern within the head of a tennis racket. The side of the stringing pattern which is used to strike the tennis ball is called the racket face. An easy way to remember this is to think of the racket "face" as having eyes. Eyes are a normal part of a face. The eyes of the racket face must see the approaching tennis ball, just prior to string-to-ball contact. I always use a black permanent marker pen to draw a face with eyes, nose, and a mouth on my teaching tennis racket.
