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?

My newest hockey stick is carbon fiber. I think the previous stuck was a fiberglass composite. The new stick is way lighter, but harder to play with due to the being so light
