The handle is similar to that of a real tennis racket; the engraving reflects the reality of the object. The string design features a crocodile and a ball. The Crocodile, René Lacoste's nickname, has become the brand's emblem. And in tribute to his wife Simone Thion de La Chaume, also a champion, the tennis ball has the texture of a golf ball.
