sticky tennis racket   (+12)  [vote for, against]
A racket with asymetrical strings

This tennis racket string would have half an elipse(down major axis ) in cross-section . The straight side of the string would be filled with hooks , like in velcro . The oval side would remain smooth .

When strung in the racket this string makes the racket have two sides with completely different stroke properties allowing players a wider choice of shots . speed / straight versus slower /spinnier

? Just an idea . Although, you would have to be good at spinning your racket .

Put double sided sticky tape on my ping pong bat once. Got great spin.
