Is there a such thing in this world?A racket made of hundred percent taitanium metal except gormmets and replacement grips.If the material is light weight and strong why wouldn`t manufacturers make something like that and make a profit?I like heavy rackets weight in total of hunderd and twenty five grams or so.I don`t mind trying custome made rackets from time to time.
no, there is no such racket yet. it will be very expensive. it will not perform as we like it as graphite made, the flex.
Graphite is stronger/lighter than Titanium, but not as stiff. Racket manufacturers like Titanium because they can make the racket out of cheaper, lower grade graphite, and then add small amounts of Titanium to stiffen just the few key areas where it will be most noticeable, without drastically increasing weight. Plus, as an added bonus, it will help sell rackets just because it sounds cool and hi-tech.
It's my understanding that they use a Titanium mesh to increase the rackets impact strength. The thing with carbon is that you can make the racket hollow and place some sort of vibration attenuation material inside. Also, Titanium is very succeptable to notch failure, so putting a whole heap of small holes in a tubular structure for the strings is pretty much asking for trouble. You could use it for a shaft material pretty easily though.
