    It broke when I tried to clear. What kind of stress had it undergone to break at the handle?

    is it is real Yonex racket? genuine Yonex handles are pretty strong. fake racket grips are like cardbox paper.

    I suppose it's real Yonex. Bought it a year ago from a website (www.badmintonavenue.com) representing a local club (BBC). Played with it maybe 1-2 times a week.

    The carbon core inside the handle broke too.

    I guess I could search the serial number on Yonex website? Can that be fake too?

    I recently got it restrung at badminton alley at Sunnyvale. Never have problem with them/stringing before. The stringing machine couldn't possibly put too much pressure on the handle, right??

    stringing will not touch the handle...
    What model is this? Put the serial number and cone code and see if someone can help you out..

    The handle is probably the cheapest component. I don't think it means anything either way about the authenticity of the racket. I've broken a handle on a panda racket and I don't hit that hard
