Metal Frame
What characterizes a metal racket frame in tennis?
What are the pros and cons of a metal frame?
What metal is used for racket frames?
Racquet manufacturers have evolved from wood to metal, specifically aluminum, and for the last years, graphite as the primary building material of their frames. Aluminum is still used in the construction of some recreational racquets.
Aluminum, the most abundant metallic element on earth, known for its reflectivity, heat conductivity, and ability to resist corrosion, has proven to be a very useful material in the modern age; we even make tennis racquets out of it.
Aluminum frames are sometimes ‘fused’ with graphite. This method involves making a part of the frame out of aluminum and molding another part made from graphite to it, usually the shaft to the head.
Pros:
- lightweight (for a metal);
- inexpensive.
Cons:
- poor shock and vibration dampening qualities;
- prone to bending/warping.
