    I wonder if manufacturers will eventually incorporate graphene into badminton rackets. I know they use it for tennis, or something like it at least.

    Of course, MXJJS already has it... but probably in nanogram amount.

    It's called "MaganGraphen®", not sure if it's the real thing. But spray-on would be a great benefit to badminton players and their fragile rackets.

    with a large amount of that stuff sprayed onto a racket, will that affect its stiffness? weight distribution?

    "MaganGraphen®" is graphene in EU, the name being used by Victor EU due to trademark issues with graphene in EU alone. Elsewhere in the world Victor just uses the name graphene.

    I can imagine the whole racket being matte black with black strings already! Damn cool it will be! Extra sturdy where you can see clashes as nothing! Haha

    There was a very good explanation about graphene and the (almost) myth of it's use in racquets etc, by one of our members on another thread. Now, if only I could find it...
