Promote the Development of Tennis through Applied New Macromolecule Polymer Material in Tennis Racket Design

Abstract:

Tennis has gradually become a very important leisure and entertainment project, and it has been popular among the extensive tennis fans. People pay close attention to the tennis materials and keep doing research all the way. Since the beginning of tennis, the tennis materials has been changed constantly, which ranges from the initial wood to the gradually emerging new macromolecule polymer material. The new macromolecule polymer material is of high intensity, toughness and antiknock, which is rather applicable to the tennis design technology. However, so far due to that the macromolecule polymer materials cost is higher, its promotion is limited in certain scope, and mainly be selected by the professional competition tennis players. And most of the tennis fans generally are in favor of the traditional tennis racket. This paper conducts comparing on the traditional material of tennis racket with the macromolecule polymer material of tennis racket, and makes it stand out so as to display the wide prospect of the application of the new macromolecule polymer material in the tennis design technology.
