Tell your friend...
Don't throw it away !! He or she can just buy a spare handle from Mybadmintstore and just get someone to fit it in...
He or she shouldn't worry, it is fixable

My heart goes to him >< The first one was broken after clashing with a beginner, then the second one was broken after a clash in an intense mens doubles game, all in the space of an hour

If you own and love the meteor x80, then you may want to look away...

thats why unless you are advance player , you should play with rackets below $50 . TBH , this high end rackets would not make much different for club players , you would barely know the different (specs is the most important factor) . With $50 racket you can play carefree and go for the shot more.

How do I get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?

Oh, I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul and if you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?

Broken after a big smash.

Maybe go for SW33 Control instead of MX80. Tried MX80 before, not so good feeling...

I have to say RIP to a racket I played with for the first time this morning, bought second hand from cayzi, just got it strung and regripped it, didn't even last to the end of the game. No clashes or anything whilst I've had it was traumatised...

That is one devastating breakage. Out of curiosity who strung the racquet for you (and at what tension)? He may have made an error somewhere during the process.

A guy at the USyd club called Ken, he's strung loads before fine at a lot higher tension (this was 30x/28s so not even that high). I'm guessing it had clashed before it was sold to me as it was second hand.

if there was no sign of clashes on the frame when you bought it, you can't say that this breakage is due to previous clashes
