It's a squash racket, not a tennis racket. Hence the diminutive size. Tennis is that outdoor game with the little day-glo ball that Left Coasters named Dirk and Mitzi play at the Del Coronado in December. Squash is that faggy game you play at a Right Coast racquetball court in Amherst with people named Biff and Muffy (or perhaps JamesN?) BWAAAAAAAAAA
