DArn it to heck - another one gone from clipping the floor while defending a between the legs smash

Have to grow longer legs so that I don't hit the floor as easily

!

This was a 2U Victor PW12, and I've only had it for 1.5months!!!!

RIP, it was fun smashing

ouch, damn.
why did ya remove some of the grommets as well?

**gsloh** · 04-22-2008, 10:19 AM

Those grommets were still in good shape, so I thought i might be able to reuse them somewhere. The PW12 also had a Muscle power grommet strip which was in good shape so I took those off as well!

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

The racquet was brand new, just played twice with it ...

This is the second I break this way in 2 weeks of playing ... I should be so strong

Since my last post on this thread, I had a couple of more broken rackets but didn't take any pictures.

The one below happened last week against PeteLSD and SilentHeart. I smashed and heard a "crack" but the racket didn't break. Then I did a few dry swings just before the serve, there was a big "crack" sound and the racket went to Heaven.

I bought five of the yellow Ti10s and two of them got soft and flexy in the shaft real fast. So, I sold all of them, the two soft and flexy ones to girls.

I think they would have gone with continued use.

Hi Sir Dink,

Since you have tested so many type of racquets, do you prefer soft frame or hard frame racquets ?

I intend to purchase a SOTX Woven 7, but my fiend tols me the frame and shaft was a bit soft. Is it true ?

This is not a tricky qestion

Is that a woven 7?

The Woven 7 is a forgiving racket. It's not flexible or soft but it's certainly not uber stiff. It's, I would say, near ideal.
