Supreme creator gets racket on ball (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supreme creator' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'racket on ball' is the wordplay.
'racket' becomes 'din' (I've seen this before).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ball' becomes 'o'.
'din' put after 'o' is 'ODIN'.

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "mythological personage" , "Legendary ruler" , "Supreme Scandinavian god - what a racket" , "Chief Norse god" , "divine figure" .)
