Graphite is remarkably strong for its relatively light weight. It provides terrific power, as well as good control and feel for the ball. But graphite is best in a composite mixture with any of the various thermoplastic- and fiberglass-type resins used today.
Correspondingly, are tennis rackets made of graphite?
Graphite. Different types and grades of graphite, which is a lightweight material derived from carbon, are used in the design of a tennis racket. Racket frames can be made of 100 percent graphite or a composite of graphite and other materials such as Kevlar, fiberglass, copper, titanium and tungsten.
In this manner, is titanium better than graphite?
The advantage of graphite shafts (which is really graphite combined with titanium) is that it is much lighter than titanium and therefore easier to swing. The lighter nature of the clubs also enable the manufacturers to move much of the weight in the clubs’ head back further, which makes the clubs more forgiving.
Which racket is better carbon or graphite?
As graphite is stable, it allows manufacturers to adjust the flex patterns of the rackets. Carbon fiber rackets provide good strength which allows the user to sting the badminton racket at a higher tension with less risk of causing damage to the frame of the racket.
