    well, the armortech's strong point is the frame.
    durability can mean many things and area - frame , paint, shaft, handles, etc
    that's why i ask.
    better yet, where on the frame? :rolleyes:
    because depending on stringer, stress can be put on particular area of the frame.
    better question is your stringer up to snuff? I can have you wreck a new mp99 with 18 lbs tension if i want to (from pre-determine stress point(s) ).
    It is extremely rare to break a high end racket under normal usage.
    u broke 2.
    i wouldn't blame the rackets.
