A multi-purpose racket. The multi-purpose racket includes a striking blade and a shaft. The striking blade includes a hollow substrate consisting of first and second flat sheets and partition walls successively arranged between the two flat sheets to form cells in the substrate. In this striking blade, a hard layer is attached to the outer surface of the first sheet of the substrate for allowing a user to strike a ball strongly. A sub-layer is attached to the outer surface of the second sheet of the substrate and acts as a cushion. In addition, a soft layer is attached to the outer surface of the sub-layer and has densely packed hook members over its whole external surface. The racket of this invention allows a user to strike various kinds of balls.
