Does anyone know if any of the blade manufacturers have started to use graphene in the construction of their blades.
I would think the strength and other properties of graphene would lend themselves to making stiff but forgiving blades. I even could imagine a layer of it between each ply of a seven ply bat so each layer gained from its inclusion. Seems a better way to incorporate carbon into a bat then all in one or two layers and its tensile strength advantage over carbon sheets would be beneficial, at least I think so though I have not of course done the math or engineering to know for sure.
Just thought I would ask since I suspect we will see it soon from some manufacture.
There! I have started my first thread. LOL
