Carbon Engineering & Frame Technology
Why Carbon Matters in Racket Performance
At competitive level, frame material directly influences stability, energy transfer, vibration feedback, and durability under string tension.
Stealth rackets are constructed using advanced Japanese Toray carbon fibre — selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio and structural consistency.
This allows us to engineer frames that are:
• Lightweight yet structurally stable
• Resistant to deformation under higher string tensions
• Responsive with controlled energy return
• Durable under repeated impact
Carbon vs Graphite – Structural Behaviour
While the terms “carbon” and “graphite” are often used interchangeably in the sports industry, they behave differently at a structural level.
Carbon-based composites offer higher strength and wear resistance.
Graphitic structures provide smoother internal shear behaviour and reduced friction characteristics.
By carefully balancing these properties within our composite layup, we aim to deliver:
• Frame rigidity for precision
• Controlled flex for shuttle acceleration
• Reduced vibration feedback at impact
The result is a more stable and predictable response during competitive play.
Structural Stability Under Tension
String tension places significant stress on a racket frame.
Stealth frames are engineered to support string tensions up to 35 lbs. While most players will string lower than this, the ability of the frame to tolerate higher tension reflects its structural integrity and resistance to distortion.
Greater structural stability means:
• Consistent sweet spot behaviour
• Reduced frame warping over time
• Improved long-term durability
Precision Grommet Architecture
Our oval grommet system helps distribute string pressure more evenly across the frame, reducing localised stress concentrations around drilled holes.
This supports frame durability and enhances tension stability under repeated stringing cycles.
Performance-Focused Engineering
We do not rely on cosmetic technology names.
Instead, we focus on:
• Material selection
• Composite layup design
• Structural reinforcement
• Real-world performance behaviour
Every Stealth racket is developed with one objective:
Delivering reliable, controlled performance for serious competitors.
