Re: Need help, Titanium / Carbon Fiber / Aluminum

i think that unless you have the ability to make several sets, carbon would be a bad choice. though carbon would be significantly stronger, it would ultimately have the potential to break. for that application i think fiberglass is your friend. it offers greater flexibility and is easier to acquire.
