THE SECRET IN BETWEEN CARBON FIBER vs FIBERGLASS RACQUETS

[@yousefalali1467]

Thanks

[@tseslavnikitin]

what do you think about kevlar?

[@julianwortel]

Kevlar is a very stiff material, stiffer than carbon, my suggestion is to try it out.

3k is more rigid than 12k

[@thejohnnytapia123]

yeah I cant figure out the correct answer. There are racket manufacturers that say low "K" means more rigid, like you said

[@cerryabc]

@@thejohnnytapia123 less the K means more rigid. It is not something a brand can chose, is a carbon preoperty. Often the 3k is paired with a softer foam and the 18k with a denser foam and so the 3k racket is more rigid, or they use 3 layer of 18 k against 1 layer of 3k. but that is the rule. More K = softer carbon

[@thejohnnytapia123]

​@@cerryabcthanks. what about the flexibility/elastic properties? how do they chance with the "K" change? I ask that to understand if a higher K would mean more or less power applied to the ball given the same force input
