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?
In: Engineering
That’s basically it. Carbon fiber is light and ridgid. Player’s strength and dexterity are wasted less on handling the equipment. Therefore, more energy or fine adjustment makes it to the ball, birdie, or puck. This is similarly true of cars, planes, and tools.
Think of it this way: would you rather swing a one-pound racket or a ten-pound racket? Would you rather the engine push a half-ton vehicle or a two-ton vehicle? What’s more maneuverable, a 500-pound plane or a 5,000-pound plane?
