good luck finding a 100% titanium racket....:D

In todays market 95% of the arcket are made out of carbon graphite, some have titanium added. what it does? the manufacturers claims it's for stability, anti-torque or durability. what it does for your game? nothing...

just get a racket that suits you in terms of balance/stiffness and weight...if you liek the racket, who cares what it's made out of?

difficult...

with the comign of the yonex armortecs (3U and 4U) there's been a tendancy for "lighter and lighter"
from the carbonex's to the muscle-powers yonex made 2U and 3U rackets, in all kinds of balances...
nowadays Yonex makes light/midweight head-heavy stuff, and midweight/"heavy" headlight stuff...

Generally, the proffessional tendancy for weight is whatever weight Yonex makes...

;) did you notice the sarcasm?:D

light: 4U and lighter, <85grams
Midweight: 3U, 85-89 grams
'Heavy': 2U, 90-94 grams
