My MP99 broke in half

[K3v1nL]

I boke my MP99 2 days ago during my league match. About 3 months ago, the racquet started to chip in the shaft section connecting the cone, and it makes a clicking sound everytime i take a hard swing. Then 2 day ago at my match, the racquet just broke in half in mid swing while i was doing a lift, the broken half darted forward into the other half of the court, luckily no body got hurt:o

I had the racquet for about 10 months, is there a possibilities the racquet has a defect?

you should contact the yonex dealership in south africa. they may get you to send the racquet in for examination and if they think it was a defect, they'll replace it for you. if not, then well, there's no harm in trying ...
tough luck though! :(

Try to get the warranty!!!

But then again... a guy at my club has got the same problem...
But in his case, the shafts brake at the handle:eek:
This got to do with his technique, and very strong wrist!!!:rolleyes:
He was recommended a more flexible racquet by Yonex...:p

That because the shaft was too stiff and the snap he made with his
wrist was straining the shaft too much!!!:confused:

K3v1nL,

my mp99 had the same chip on the cone and shaft joint, but didn't break yet, i'm afraid it will soon, is urs 3U-G4? is the damage on the joint before breaking just the paint or the carbon graphite?

[K3v1nL]

mine is a 2U-G3, i can only get 2U-G3 here in South Africa. It seems that the visible damage was just the paint, but as I said the racket made clicking noise while i play and that could be the graphite breaking.

[rexlu]

so it started off as a paint chip, i just got mine last month, after how long did u find the clicking noise?

[K3v1nL]

that happened about 3 month after i got the racquet

[yy_ling]

how to use this forum

[yy_ling]

btw about you MP99 i guess maybe you should try another racket
cause if it started to break without any good reason means its not very good :/

An unknown or "un-noticable" reason does not equal to "no reason". ;)

[yy_ling]

true, but he said the shaft chipped in
i thought it happened on its own

[yy_ling]

cause the only way i can search now is kinda look at threads one by one
