Example sentences for: racquets

How can you use “racquets” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • To begin with let us list some of the official racquet games, both ancient and modern, that may be defined in a standard dictionary or encyclopedia of sport: tennis; lawn tennis; squash tennis; paddle tennis; platform tennis; table tennis; paddleball; racquetball; squash racquets; badminton; and racquets . The most obvious characteristic of this list is that most of these games appear, at least, to be variations of the game of tennis , yet in reality they cannot be technically classified as such.

  • Another minor variation on this theme is the vagueness related to squash, squash racquets, racquets , and squash tennis .

  • One way of putting some of these racquet games into sharper focus would be to minimize use of the words paddle and racquet . To the layman, terms like paddleball, paddle tennis, racquets, racquetball , etc., just fuse into a blur.

  • For purposes of communication, racquets and squash tennis present no serious problem, as they are confined to a handful of exclusive clubs in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston and, regrettably, may soon pass from the scene.
