Which sentence is correct or natural?

 

The most natural way is to say "A tennis racket is made up of a frame, a shaft and and a grip.' The nearest of your phrases is ' A tennis racket consists of a frame, a shaft and a grip.'

 

We use compose to suggest some arrangement - you would compose music, compose a flower arrangment, compose a picture.

You could say a tennis racket is constructed of a ......  but to my ear it is not so natural.

The verb to structure is not so common at all in this use. It means to arrange or organise something in a particular way.

 

Hope this helps

Which sentence is correct or natural? It depends on your meaning. 全部大丈夫ですけど目的はちょと違う。 Tennis racket is constructed by a frame, a shaft and, a grip. (ラケットは、作るためにこの部品を使うのです) (Constructed - Built with) Tennis racket consists of a frame, a shaft, a grip. (ラケットは、この部品で作られています) (Consists of - Has as it parts) Tennis racket structured by a frame, a shaft, and a grip. (一番と二番一生にです) (Structured by- One word for constructed by arrangement of parts) Tennis racket is composed of a frame, a shaft and a grip. (この部品と一緒に入れて/ この部品が必要です。) (Composed of - Put together with these parts/These parts are needed to make/These parts are the basis of) All these sentences are formal and more for business. I agree with Bob "A tennis racket is made up of a frame, a shaft and a grip." is the most colloquial (non formal) way of saying it.
