Do you guys remembered the Mp90 i bend last time? I finally put it to rest yesterday. It has not been broken yet.. but the crack that i had last time goes bigger. The frame at the cracked area had a little distortion , not so noticeable. So i cut the strings already. I can say it was one of my fav racket. Very durable , even it has a tiny crack last time.. it can still withstand 28lbs of tension! And i was suprised that it didnt break yesterday after looking at the crack after my game. Jps are really durable. Now i'm thinking of getting another Mp90 Jp.
What is the difference between MP90 and MP99?!?!? Also, some people told me that badminton dealers, in china, string racquets better and more professionally than the ones in US.....
Ants, I think you mentioned in an earlier thread that the crack originated from a poor stringer's job. Yeah, cracks can only grow in size. It's just a matter of time before it breaks your racquet. Sorry to hear that it's finally being laid to rest.
No difference. Japanese market only rackets have different designation codes to rest of the world, that's all. Read FAQ. Not true. All comes down to how experienced a stringer is and how good his equipment are. Location is irrelevant.
Thanks... the one i mentioned last time was my Gosen 3500 cracked due to poor stringing job. This Mp90 crack was caused by a clash long time ago.
Not true, what if people move from China-> US, will they lose the ability to string? It is people who are doing the stringing job, not governments/countries. It's all depending on the skills!
Ant's you should just try and do what I do when one of my rackets gets cracked, just smash till you drop in a somewhat silly endevour trying to fold the head in two through smashing. It is fun indeed, you never know what is going to happen! I'm still trying with one of my AT700's Don't put it in the bag, don't cut the strings keep going till it folds!!!
Stringing a racket is like any other job, which requires experience and responsbility. The location has nothing to do with the quality. I think the reason why ppl tend to tell u such stories could be the fact that there are more badminton special shops in Asia, therefore, the overal skill standard is quite good. Here in US, badminton is a minority sport, which means very few badminton shops around. A lot of ppl having trouble to find a reputable stringer to do the job, therefore, they have to go to the major sport chain stores instead. Most ppl working there are trained for tennis racket, and have no idea about badminton. With little experience, the quality of string job is low, and the risk of mess up a racket is high. Therefore, u might hear the same rumor of tennis dealers can string tennis racket well in US, but the ones in Asia suck, etc... My suggestion is, if u want ur racket to stay alive, and get the job done properly, ask around. There should be a badminton shop around, or at least, some reputable stringer(s) in various clubs. You live in CA, so, the task should be fairly simple...
I would want to... but not on my racket. There is alot of good memories for this racket of mine. Its a waste if i want it to fold. Anyway i have already cut the strings.
