Alright, I've been playing with these 2 rackets for a while.
The first one is the SP racket. The current string is a bg68ti originally strung at 25x25 but now it should be somewhat 21-22. I'm planning on restringing this with bg80 at 25x27....will this be a big risk?

The second one here is a CD racket. The string broke and the crack is a bit less obvious than the SP. Strung originally at 23x25 with bg68ti. I'm planning on restringing it with bg80 at 25x27. Risky?

Why are you stringing BG80 higher than BG68ti? BG80 is meant to be strung lower. With those cracks and the tension you want the frame will not survive. At low tensions like <22lbs it may be at 26lbs it is nearly impossible.

It's becuz I'm now playing at 25lbs.
The SP racket was strung at 25 but after a while, the tension dropped.
The CD racket's string broke about a month ago where the tnesion also dropped from 23. I'm not stringing them higher than before. That's simply the tension i'm playing at right now.

You can play BG80 at whatever tension you want. Somebody just may or may not like the dramatically tenser stringbed due to a high tension and the stiffer string.

Try 2pc/4knots system @ 24x26 to retain tension longer,stringbed would be stiffer for a BG80.
Inner crack at 12oclock probably due to suspension system without using the H-adapter / did not mount properly / over-stretched the top.
In the end still depend on stringer's experience. All the best & Good Luck !

I think you should go for 2 piece stringing (as one of the above members suggested). I have been stringing racquets for 3 years, and i would suggest that you get your racquet (SP) strung at BG 65 first at 22-23 lbs. or 24 lbs. but not above that, observe it minutely and see if the frame deforms a little bit, if it doesn't than its ok if not than it is in trouble. Do not try to use any glues or adhesives or any superglues because they will somewhat BURN (based on my bad experience) the graphite on your racket.
Hope this helps!:rolleyes:
How about getting a JP of it, just like me!! 25/27 using NGB98!

is that at 12 o'clock? if yes might be noon disease.
Stringer issue, then any racket (SP, JP, etc..) won't survive imho.
regarding tension, i find it take me longer to adjust to bg80 (i like bg85 and I find I can adjust to it almost in no time). I'm not sure about 68ti but from 65ti if I string the same tension of 65ti with 80, I can feel its tighter.
