   • 2020 January 21, Thomas Allen, “Tennis: a smashing history of how rackets shaped the game”, in The Conversation‎^[1], archived from the original on 2022-10-27:

     The increased design freedom offered by composites was demonstrated with the introduction of "widebody" rackets, such as the Profile by Wilson, in the late 1980s. Widebody rackets have larger cross sections around the centre of the frame than the handle and tip, to give higher stiffness in the region of maximum bending.
