You can break strings by doing that? I've broken a couple: 1. sweet spot area, main string x 1 2. AT800OFF, 22lbs, some unknown string, base (near the T). Looks like it unravelled 3. NS8000k, sweet spot area, main string x 1 (Vectran coating wore off, BG85, 28lbs) 4. NS8000k, BG85, 28lbs, around the head of racquet, cross string x 1, bad mishit during forced clear.
no, its not that. those strings are too durable. they could last for years, especially if the tension is low. i had to cut mine in favor of more powerful strings (bg66). Maybe you should too!
After reading this thread I notice that on my racquet the mains seem to cut into the crosses near the center. The racquet functions fine but not sure how long this will servive, specially when i'm laying against a agressive player..
thanks. lots of people i play with have started doing it now, not only does it stop your strings from breaking but it stops the head from becoming scratched.
Good day, I have broken 4 racket strings so far after a year of intensive playing. 3 of myself's and one of my friend's and all of them are of the centre on the main string. either one of them in the middle, all of the 4 rackets. And suppose thats where the sweet point is?? Does that mean i always hit in the right spot?? I really hope so. haha but i do hit on the frame sometimes with a really "great" Ping sound haha...
Oh haha. Ng, you must be joking Sir DinkALot is way too good for me. haha i have that Ping sound due to mishit haha... But i really hope i can improve more though. Coz i have an interclub competition coming soon and i think i am not good enough for the team at the moment. Hopefully, i will improve more within the next 2 weeks... Thank you by the way. haha...
My string almost always damages first outside the frame due to picking up shuttles .. It could snap any time now. I think the reason is because it an AT and the string is less protected. After next stringing I will/must use some tape to cover it
Woah, what racquet are you using? The Yonex ones have these grooves at the upper string area. You can pick all you want! Keith
Well it's an armortec 800 OF, and if I have seen correctly, the string is on the outside of the frame and not in small grooves as most rackets. But maybe it's the fault of the person who puts the strings on ..
It's very likely that that's the case. I can't imagine it though. How would it look like? Maybe you should try asking another stringer if it's done properly, or maybe just send a pic! Keith
first pic: damage of the string at on side of the racket. the other side is less worse second pic: you can clearly see the string on the outside of the frame .. (or is it just me? )
Hmm... I think the stringer did mess up that part. Or is it a different stringing technique? Any opinions from stringers?
Hello, I've just checked the Yonex site. I think it's the new grommet system. The armortec 800-OF has it. Here's the site. http://www.yonex.com/badminton/technology/index_in.html#ngs
Usually the strings on my racket breaks on the main. Well not that it breaks often.. so far it broke only twice in 2 years. Not a good player.
just broke my second string from 7 hours of play, off-centre strung at 20lbs from a back hand net kill (which didnt work well).
