You should relearn racket parts, the head contains the frame, which is the racket itself, the grommet (which includes the 'bumper'). the racket face (which is the string part). And under the racket head, it's call the throat not the neck. and lastly the lower part is not just called the grip. It's call the handle, which consist of the grip and the butt. The grip of course is where you hold, and the butt is where there's a cap on with the racket logo goes.

Parts of a Tennis Racket

Now we are going to be talking about equipment. The most important thing you need to play tennis is the tennis racket and shoes; besides tennis balls of course. Let's talk about the parts of the racket. We have the head of the racket, which includes the strings, and then we have the bumper of the racket, the neck of the racket and the grip of the racket. It's important to have a good grip; first of all the size of your grip. Make sure you can grab your racket around. Put your finger in the space that's between your hand and if that's tight a nice; that means that your grip is good. If the space was too big that would mean that the grip is too big for me or like in Tracy's racket which is too small for me. If the grip, see how my finger cannot get in, this means that the grip is too small for me. This is basically the parts of the racket; the equipment that you need.
