Brody, H. (1981) Physics of the tennis racket II: The sweet spot. American Journal of Physics, 49, 816-819.
...or to put it into a physics context: the Intermediate Axis of Inertia Theorem nicely popularized here:The Bizarre Behavior of Rotating Bodies

I want to read "Physics Of The Tennis Racket" by Howard Brody. I think it
was only published in the June, 1979 issue of the AJP. Can anyone post/send
me the article?
