As demands for badminton equipment keep rising, racket performance development is no longer limited to breakthroughs in a single material or a single parameter. Finding better synergy among power, speed and control has become an ongoing pursuit in racket design.

Deeply rooted in badminton equipment development, Kumpoo consistently bridges material technology with on-court performance needs. The all-new titanium racket, Kumpoo Titan 90, centres on a 3D-printed titanium alloy shaft. It brings titanium metal into badminton racket manufacturing, with systematic design optimised for key factors including power transfer, structural stability and hitting feedback, to unlock more possibilities for racket performance.

Materials lay the foundation for performance, while structure dictates how that performance is delivered.

The Titan 90 is not simply a racket built with titanium alloy. Instead, its structural design is engineered around critical zones: the shaft, the T-joint connection and frame reinforcement. By combining the unique properties of different materials, it pursues a refined balance of speed, power and control.

This exploration also gives the Titan 90 a distinct product differentiation within the titanium racket segment. The Kumpoo Titan 90 has been awarded the Confirmation Certificate of Market Position by CEVSIGHT Group, recognising its status as the World’s First Titanium Badminton Racket. From material adoption to structural design, this innovative undertaking demonstrates Kumpoo’s ongoing pursuit of badminton equipment technology and opens up new avenues for titanium applications in badminton racket development.

So how does the Titan 90 integrate material properties into racket design? From its 3D-printed titanium alloy shaft to critical connecting structures and hitting feedback systems, five core technologies form the foundation of the Titan 90.

01 | 3D-Printed Titanium Alloy Shaft: Exploring a New Path for Precision Forming

The Titan 90 adopts a 3D-printed titanium alloy shaft, bringing precision forming technology to this critical badminton racket component. Compared with conventional shaft manufacturing and joining methods, 3D printing unlocks greater freedom for complex structural design and parameter tuning. Structural design and optimisation help improve manufacturing consistency, laying a technical foundation for the shaft’s structural stability and power transfer.

02 | 6.7mm Titanium Alloy Shaft: Balancing Support, Transmission and Feedback

The Titan 90 features a 6.7 mm titanium alloy shaft with an integrated internal foam structure.

Titanium alloy delivers both strength and toughness to offer structural support for the shaft. Meanwhile, the internal foam structure is engineered to strike a synergy between power transfer and vibration feedback upon impact, balancing supportive performance for aggressive shots and hitting comfort.

When generating power and playing consecutive rallies, the shaft’s structural stability and power transfer directly shape hitting feedback. By combining selected materials and optimised structures, the Titan 90 lays the groundwork for consistent power output.

03 | Obsidian Titanium Armor: Reinforcing Protection for Critical Frame Zones

The Titan 90 POWER spec features a 3D-shaped titanium guard — Obsidian Titanium Armor, applied to collision-vulnerable areas including the frame top.

This titanium protective design reinforces critical frame sections, adding extra structural protection and refining the racket’s overall protective architecture.

By embedding titanium’s material properties into the frame protection structure, Obsidian Titanium Armor serves as a core component of the Titan 90 technical system and endows the racket with a striking high-tech look.

04 | Aero Titanium Shield: Optimising the T-Joint Connection Structure

The T-joint region serves as a critical junction for structural linkage and power transfer in a badminton racket. The Titan 90 incorporates Aero Titanium Shield technology. A dual-T interlocking structure, built from a 3D-printed titanium alloy T-head and titanium T-tabs, replaces the traditional layered carbon fibre T-joint construction.

Engineered for torsional stiffness and fatigue performance at the T-joint, this structure improves joint stability and power transfer for more immediate hitting feedback.

05 | Titan Sonic System: Creating a Distinctive Impact Sound Signature

The sound of impact is an intuitive and distinctive part of the racket experience.

Drawing on the transfer characteristics of its 3D-printed titanium alloy shaft and the structural properties of the carbon fibre frame, the Titan 90 delivers systematic tuning of swing and impact acoustics, yielding a signature hitting sound with metallic texture and recognisability.

POWER, BALANCE, GAME: Three Profiles for Distinct Playing Styles

To cater to players’ varying demands for offence, balance and control, Kumpoo Titan 90 comes in three specs: POWER, BALANCE and GAME. While all share the 3D-printed titanium alloy shaft technology, differing frame configurations and specifications deliver distinct performance profiles.

POWER | Enhancing Offence & Unleashing Power

It targets advanced offensive players who prioritise attacking performance and consistent power output.

BALANCE | Balancing Offence And Defence, Fully Tuned for Versatility

It caters to intermediate-to-advanced players seeking balanced performance among offensive output, consecutive rallies and on-court control.

GAME | Prioritising Control, for Developing Players

It caters to developing players and recreational players who prioritise control feel and hitting feedback.

From material application to structural design, and from technical R&D to user experience, Kumpoo aims to ensure innovation goes beyond mere specifications and concepts, and translates into tangible racket design and on-court performance. The Titan 90 embodies this philosophy: expanding the possibilities of material usage with titanium alloy, addressing on-court demands through structural engineering, and continuously exploring the balance between power, speed and control.

Moving forward, Kumpoo will keep advancing research into materials, manufacturing processes and product design. Through ongoing innovation, it seeks to meet the evolving needs of badminton and deliver more game-ready equipment options for players.
