this racquet originally did not belong to me, it belonged to a friend of mine. He had been smashing the bird in the wrong position of the racquet and this resulted in the destruction of the frame. However, as he did not use it anymore after the incident, he gave it to me considering I am not as strong and him and my hitting positions are a lot better, leaving the racquet to still have some use. I was thinking of seeing if I could fix the racquet anytime and give it back to him, but it seems it is not possible anymore.
