At 24 lbs, is it necessary to cut the strings after one of them snap? I know it is better, but is it necessary at this tension? What about at 23 x 25 lbs? Would that make a difference?
Not absolutely necessary but when the frame breaks on the next few restrings, you will wonder if.......
Yeah I was told that if you sent back a racket with cut strings they might suspect the stringer of exceeding their maximum, so if there's any frame damage they can refuse it.
You don't, but getting it restrung just to increase tension/get a new string would be different from snapping one wouldn't it? From what I gather snapping a string often indicates an off centre hit, and that increases the probability of some frame damage.
Ouch, but yeah, that's just what the Yonex dealer told me when I bought my racket. Because I got it strung straight out of the shop, he commented saying it felt very tight (@25lbs - it shouldn't have felt that tight for him) - so I asked the same question in this thread. Should I cut the strings if one snaps? That was just what he told me.
Always cut them - they're no good broke, and the load imbalance will only get worse the longer you leave them in the frame.
One big problem with badminton stringers is that anyone who has strung just a couple of rackets on their 200$ Eagnas machine thinks they're professional stringers. I've been accused many times by basement stringers (or the guys at the general sports stores) of stringing rackets at a higher tension than the actual requested tension just so it feels tighter, which of course is entirely false. Those people allow themselves to judge other people's work without ever judging theirs. As for the warranty, nothing says explicitely that the rackets must be returned with strings uncut. But that's in Canada, it may be different in other countries. But if the racket breaks and it was strung properly, there is no reason to cut them anyways, so I just leave them on. In general though, you should cut the strings as soon as possible, no matter what the tension is.
Yep, what's worse is if a racket's string spontaneously snaps in the bag, and you only discover it a few days later..... toasted frame...
Why risk it? I posted a while ago where a client didn't cut the string on a zf and it cracked. So it is possible for a racket to break that way.
I was under the impression that you should only leave strings in if your racket breaks. If your racket doesn't break, the procedure is to cut it right away (like Boe all throughout the SSF, lol). It's very easy to cut the strings and doing it makes taking the strings out so easy! you just have to pluck out the strings rather than unweave the entire thing.
here is the thread with the broken racket. the client left the broken string uncut for 3 weeks and the imbalanced force of the string cracked the racket. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-This-is-why-we-cut-broken-strings-right-away
I think the higher the tension the more reason for you to cut the strings as soon as possible. I'd imagine Boe has it strung at a really high tension so any uneven tension would crack his racquets.
I think Yonex want to check whether it's factory fault or stringer fault and it's only valid during warranty period (3 months?). After that, if you break the frame, it will be at your own expense
Yeah, it makes no sense to cut the strings if the racket is already broken. I always cut my strings after it breaks, it doesn't really matter how you do it (diagonal or mains then crosses). A lot of players hand me their rackets without cutting it and so I tell them, "there's a chance the frame might be damaged so next time cut the strings first".
