The TunedMassDamper (TMD) technique, presented in Literature [1], is based on the vibration absorption principle. In recent three decades, it has been applied to many fields such as structure and bridge engineering for mitigating vibration excited by wind and earthquake[2]. Recently, The TMD has been applied to tennis rackets for vibration control. In the present paper, the free vibration of a tennis racket is tested and then the first natural frequency is obtained by the powerspectraldensity analysis. The results are verified by the analysis of transfer function and correlation function. On the other hand, the equation of motion of a massstring as a simplified model of tennis racket with TMD is given, and its natural frequency is obtained.
