So today I went to the school to play some badminton. Next you know I smashed and the strings broke. So luckily I got a pe teacher to borrow his scissors to cut the strings so no pressure is on the mains since I snapped the crosses. Hmm no biggy of snapping a string right. But When I was off looking at my friends play because my racquet didn't work anymore. I saw a crack near the 12 o'clock position. Weird..I was freaked out. Right now I don't know what to do. Please BCers help me on what I should do. Yes.. my beloved ns9k went away..today I'll be crying all day. :crying: :crying:
Sorry there is a reflection on the 2nd picture-you can see a white line-that doesn't exist. Also for the last picture I took off the grommet so you can get a better look at it. Btw it was strung at 23lbs with bg 65--Matt checked it and he said it was about 20lbs now.

IMO, you need a good stringer. I always take my rackets to the Yonex representitive store to string. This kind of problem never happened to my rackets.
The racket has warrenty since it's was purchased from an authorized dealer. It is the same shop which I shop at to get my rackets stringed up as well. Definately not a stringer error since they have the experience.
It's more like a manufacturing defect. (IMO, I think it is because of the ceiling when Azn_123 told me that he was using the racket in the house and had his arm a bit too high in the air!!)
The racket had only been stringed up once for the first time with BG-65 at 23lbs from date of purchase.

I believe it's still in warranty. I bought it in November of 2006.

how many times u had it strung?

That is the very first string job the racket had. I personally seen his racket before and it was in good shape.

That's not true at all. The store cracked my AT-700 a couple years back. It really depends on who string it.

Welps I just need Gary to check it over. Might be the stringer's fault I'm not sure.

It should not be the case anymore as this was years ago. They did had a shotty guy back in the past which no longer works there. That person apparently damaged one of their stringing machines as well.
In any case the racket would most likely be replaced anyways since the store has very good relations with Yonex. Yonex would even replace a racket other than manufacturing defects as well if done through them.

If this racquet is replaced it would be a US coded as well?? Or another one?
Technically it is but you wanted a G5 initially so you can talk, with Gary that you want a G5. You end up basically with a CD coded racket.

Ouch! I hope you get it... hmm... warrantied. If not, maybe demo the new 7700 or 5000.

It was the case Gary strung my racquet ;). It was the technique employed.

Gary has done a lot of my rackets personally over the years, didn't notice any issues.
He did let me know I'm pushing my 900SA's limit since ask him to do it at 26lbs considering it is a 4U :D.

errr....yeah, I guess that could matter...
not smart...
BTW, just a question for the high-noon-disease experts..aren't those breaks compeltly vertical 99% of the cases? (given how the 'weld', and the support are all vertical..)

I believe it's the stringer's fault.
Well I have watched him but, I know the exact technicalities involved.
In any case it will be taken care of properly and Alan would walk out with a new racket.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Off the side, I have a suspicion about the ceiling as also an including factor. Oh yes, he apparently hit family member with a shuttle doing a smash with his NS9K in the house too! :eek:

Hey Matt,
First, to be clear, I'm in no way stating that this was a stringer error that caused the damage. However, the fact that Yonex replaced the racquet under warranty is not really an indication of manufacturer defect. They are pretty flexible with warranty claims. A few years back, a friend of mine clashed his MP-100, clearly player error and the racquet was replaced by Yonex.
But, based on your posts (in various threads) over the past while, seems like you would take a bullet for the store in question. You sure came to their defense very quickly !
You should be getting a cut of their sales, because you're a walking/talking ad for them ! Oh wait, maybe you are ! ;)
Regards.

Communication flows so much faster on IM , such that I would respond slower without it.
I'm not greedy I make my own money!! I don't any favors for the store as it seems like I talk about them - this also includes the people I know.

Lol I love that. Now you just got to make the other picture with a anti sign for the ceiling and for hitting a person ! ::D

I would. Normally I do that to ask if he is available to string my rackets after I have some dim sum after arriving back in Canada. You could of just asked me when I was offline you know. =P

Obviously is the stringer skill that cause this problem because my 9-X also suffered the same problem after re-string at 26lbs.
Most likely the stringer did not place the racquet properly during the stringing process and the frame was direct contact to the metal screw.

Hey louis did your ns9k have the same diagonal crack near the 12 o'clock as well??

yes, the crackline is about 2mm exactly at the 12'o clock grommet.
What I pay for the NBG95 is totally burn.

Darn..are you going to show it to the store you bought it from? And maybe then send it to yonex for inspection?

LOL actually I'm going tad's tomorrow. Can't go today..not enough time hehe. So today was the last c2 lesson.:crying: I used my other racquet--yonex isometric 80VF Slim. MAUAHAHA what a good training racquet nice and good. You should heard the sound I make from this string!!! LOL it's factory btw. I think today I was the one with the loudest smash sound--maybe one of the fastest too. I need my ns9k+bg 66=SMASHING SPREE!!:D

02-24-2007, 04:48 PM
Guys..I'm wondering if this cracke frame was the stringer's fault. Will gary just give me a racquet from his store to replace this one? Or do you think he'll just send it too yonex although it was the stringer's fault? -- Another question..if I sent it to yonex and they replaced it with the same racquet-what string/tension would they give me?? Thank you very much!!:D
Who knows!??!? You're asking theses questions as if you're so freaked out lol!
Highly doubt there was "no time" to go to the store... Time management?

LOL I just need to practice piano!!! And some hw and umm some computer with it.:D I think if I get a new racquet and used bg 66 at 25lbs. AI YA..with plastic shuttles I think it'll snap 1-3 months. I'm planning to play more bady now-no more lessons until english=A :crying:

Glad to see you got it replaced :D Hopefully they can do the same for me. I have to wait until my racket gets to Vancouver though (my uncle was here and was able to fly back today), and I'll have to either wait for them to send another one back to me ASAP, or they will send it to the manufacturer for a replacement.
