Why is carbon fiber often used as a stick to hit objects in sporting goods

3.33K views

Things like Badminton rackets, Tennis rackets, golf clubs, softball bats and hockey sticks. I know its light and all but what are the other reasons why is it used as a stick to hit objects? Can someone give me a detailed answer? Edit: Is tensile strength an important factor to making these sticks if so why?

I remember when they started making bikes out of it the stress machines they’d put them on were mean and they could run for decades without critical damage.
