Are composite tennis rackets a thing? If so where can you find them? 🤔

They sure are! You can find them online, though they've become ubiquitous enough that you can can definitely find them locally at a sporting goods stores

Heck yeah. Here's a few youtube video examples of how they're made.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing @AJ Sawyer

I love factory videos! It's definitely quite a bite more involved than I would have thought. The video from HEAD was especially interesting with all of the different combinations of prepreg they use to form the racket.

Have you made one of these carbon fiber rackets before?
