They could only use the metal strings if they changed the ball type too!
Yet still they would have to use more balls than they use now if they used metal. and yet still the ball wouldnt get that spring that makes the tenis games so interesting!
The Metal strings can not stretch as the the other materials.
Go to The Wimbledon Museum and see the way these raqs were and are made.

if it was partly made out of metal it could work. this is the case in raquet frames...they are only partly made in metal to make them stronger...if the whole raquet was partly made in metal (including strings) it would be top heavey as everyone has said.

Gold strings can really help someone's game. ( not sure about a tennis game though)

The metal would make the raquet too heavy and thee ball wouldn't bounce back

It can, but the ball may not bounce correctly off it
