Rackets come in all shapes and sizes and the material of the racket does make a difference. From graphite to Titanium. Each give different qualities to a racket. I was looking at the carlton website (yes i know its outdated) and found out that the RAmussen is an improved version of the AirBlade2000, but the Ramussen is made of High Modulus Graphite instead of titanium. Just wanted to know what u ppl rank is the best stuff badminton dreams are made of and y that material is better : Graphite Carbon H.M Graphite Titanium Alloys (mixes of materials) if i missed anything feel free to add to the list. Based on my limited Experince i'd say titanium is the lighter and stronger of them all
Oh yea one thing i forgot to add... Y did they use H.M Graphite in the RAmussen made of H.M Graphite instead of Titanium like the ab2000
anyone ever play with "Nickel" woven graphite rackets? I heared that they also provide great feel. http://www.mmoa.com.tw/rackets_mbr800-900.html
So are you lumping Boron, Kelvar, Magnesium into the Alloys grouping? Even Titanium racquets are a mixture (e.g. Yonex Ultinium is a mixture of Ti and Graphite). Some of the manufacturer (e.g. BK) has Carbon4 which is a harder material than Carbon graphite.
