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?

Lots of these answers use big words…
Carbon fiber is light & strong, yes. That is very good.
But IMO some other big reasons it is used in sports are:
1) Can be economically manufactured into complex curved shapes. It is molded.
2) Has excellent energy return. The fibers are springy.
