Resting Place For Our Soldiers At Arms (broken racket phots)

**ants** · 05-05-2005, 11:34 AM

Sad to lose my MP90. It was newly strung and its not the stringer's fault. I broke it during warming ups. I hit it less than 10 times. It broke during a smash. Didnt clash with anyone since its a warmup. In broke into 3 places!

Time to get another Mp90.

its an older 3.1 megapixel, but it has a lot of the manual settings you won't find on similar level cameras. i like it. but i'm still on the hunt for the perfect dSLR.

if you know how to use the camera you have, and know how to take pictures, you can produce nice pictures even with a non-fancy camera.

sort of like badminton with fancy racquets, comfort, and technique. hehe.

3U. Why is it not the stringers fault? I was with him during the whole time when he was stringing it. I was the one the mount the racket and adjust the tension.

ok i'm starting to get a little worried with all these broken mp99s. im getting mine shortly and i hope that mine wont break like yours.

do mp99s in general tend to be very fragile? or is the mp99 just so popular, and just happened that yours all broke.

Usually the tension is 27main 29cross. But this time i lowered it to 24main26lbs cross. Just sad.. this Mp90 is one of my all time fav.

All rackets are fragile. But just happened that mine broke. Another note of advice for all the badminton rackets owners. Once you break the strings , try to restring it as fast as possible. Dont try to keep it unstrunged for a long time. The molecular structure of the rackets will be weakened and when u strung it after a long time.. the chances of breakage is higher.
