Babe Ruth
Aluminum Tubes In Sports And Recreation
Pete Sampras, Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds are great sportsmen who have one thing in common among themselves. They have excelled in their sport of choice and have achieved greatness. Almost all of the equipment they used at one time or another during their rise to fame and fortune have been made out of or contain aluminum tubes! Sports and recreation are two areas where the use of aluminum tubes has made great inroads in the manufacturing process of equipment. Baseball bats, frames of bicycle racers, wheel assemblies of skateboards, golf club heads, tennis racquet frames, exhaust headers and manifolds of race cars are just a few of the sports equipment that have been greatly improved and made superior with the use of extruded aluminum tubes.
Both fans and players love to hear the solid sound of a ball being hit squarely by a player’s baseball bat when a ballgame is in progress. Today’s baseball bat is a so much different from the ones used by Babe Ruth, baseball bats then are made of wood whereas today’s modern bats are made of extruded aluminum tubes albeit they still have wood inside. The combination of wood and aluminum made the players hit better and farther than before! All cyclists in the world’s ultimate bicycle race, the Tour de France, use racers constructed from aluminum tube alloys in order to lower the weights of their bicycles to combat drag and in order to be able to pedal faster with lesser effort on their part. The water sport community also took great advantage of the versatility of aluminum tubes.
Such is the versatility of aluminum that it is used regularly and extensively in more applications than we can imagine. Look at an elderly person’s walking cane and you will surely see a variant of the aluminum tube, anodized and painted, a testimony to the metal’s usefulness in almost all aspects of our daily living. The author who used to be a cyclist has now opened his shop dealing with car rentals and car insurance. If you want some advice on roofing, you can also turn to him.
