As far as ghetto mods go, this one certainly takes the cake. So if you loaded up Wii Fanboy today with the intention of procuring a slice of cake, you're out of luck.
Acidmods forumer Gene0514 escaped the plastic tyranny of cheaply-made remote attachments from dubious Chinese manufacturers by creating his own Wii-Sports-Tennis-compatible racket. There's nothing hi-tech about its construction; he basically just "secured" a controller onto a badminton racket with rubber bands. Even with the wrist strap fastened onto the handle, we can't imagine Nintendo ever condoning anything as precariously-fashioned as this for its games.
Swing past the post break for more photos of the setup and its v2 model, a remote belted onto an actual tennis racket.

Wouldn't you want the wiimote to be the handle instead of where the ball would be?

Wouldn't you want it strapped on sideways?
Your supposed to hold the remote like your hitting the ball with the side.

Heh, the tennis racket looks a lot better, I wouldn't be NEARLY as worried about how much the end would wobble around. Secure it strong enough and I think it would be just dandy.
