Whose racket has been broken while in the process of stringing or the racket head had a slight dent.

What racket, string and tension? You may also describe what machine is used.

when we started stringing I/we broke a ti-6 (must have been 4-5 years back or so)
we mis-set the dropweight on our (then) new machine..instead of reading the tension from the top, we read it from the bottom. The result, 38lbs instead of 21...

I had my Emerik Boron Graphite broken by big chain store at 18x20lb. Crack at 4:00 position. I believe it was a Prince tennis crank pull machine.

I'm completly opposite, I can't even use all ten fingers of mine to count all the rackets that I've bought. But I'm doing ok I guess for a 16 year old.

small dent from stringing machine on a previous ns8k, i was so angry about it, a lot of scratches on it too, and this was its first stringing job so it was perfect before.
