Very simple, Wooden tennis rackets were dirt cheap in 90s. No one bought them.
Instead they all bought for the tennis court a light frame racket with big blade; in fact those were pretty expensive in some cases. Why did no one use suddenly those wooden rackets anymore? How many people watch upcoming Australian Grandslam? A lot. How many will watch 1 or 2 dudes toy with a few embedded processors using a language no one has heard of? Only a handful.
