hey guys... my newly bought cab20 has a warped frame... when i bought it it was already slightly warped.. kinda angry with the restringer.. if i cut the strings n restring it again will it become back to normal? i didn't string at high tensions.. around 21 pounds.. cos i didn't do any damage to the racquet..
Bring it back to the stringer, and see what s/he wants to do. If that's clearly his/her fault, s/he at least should give you another re-string job for free. If his/her skill is just like that, or does not willing to take responsibility, time to change to a reputable stringer.
i had a problem with a warped frame on my Mp99 i needed a new higher restring the stringer noticed it and said it wasn't a problem they can fix these things--if ther a decent stringer so yes just take it bk to them
The safest way to cut the strings of a strung racquet is to use a pair of sharp scissors and cut the strings in the middle with an X pattern, and then finishing off the other remaining strings.
No. The safest way is what LB had advised, bring it back to your stringer and let him/her solve the problem. Taneepak, u can't assume that every rackets on earth is strung using yonex's 4 knots methods. Even if noinimod has a PhD mechanical engineering and is a certified 5 stars stringer, he breaks it, he pay for it. :crying:
Cooler, I was responding to a specific query from Noinimod on the safety of cutting the strings in his racquet. Why is the Yonex's 4 knots method being dragged into this? BTW, Noinimod is the aggrieved party here; he is not the stringer who warped the racquet. However, if the issue is one of solving the warped problem and getting some sort of compensation, then it is a different thing all together.
I know. I was generous, I gave out 2 answers. The first answer was for noinimod. The followup answer was for everyone.
sometimes cooler's answers are so cryptic, i sometimes wonder whether he is a few notches above us, or a few notches below us...
If the frame is slightly wraped before re-string, is it really the major fault of the re-stringer for totally wraped?? IMO, the re-stringer is fool to take the risk for re-stringing a wraped racket.
the original warped frame is the fault of the original stringer. the re-stringer has no obligation to promise he can reachieve the non deformed shape. unless he's so sure of his godlike abilities..... im not THAT sure. and in my opinion he should not be expected to if even after the original strings are cut the un-strung frame is still warped= permanant damage
Perhaps Noinimod can clarify for us, otherwise we are just speculating on what actually happened. Was the racquet bought with or without strings? If without strings and was warped, why did you accept the purchase? If with strings, why didn't you see the warp when you bought it? Or was the warp discovered after a period of time?
hmm.. i cant remember.. but i think it was warped when it was stringed.. bought n strung at the same place.. zenith sports. heard alot of recommendations.. but.. disappointed anyway thanks for the help~
my main concern now is actually whether the performance would be affected.. the warp is very very slight only.. so i really hope there's nothing wrong with the structure
Compare your racket with a un-strung (same) racket. If the so call wrap is just like 1-2 mm, I don't think it's even a problem. Depend on the machine and string method the stringer used, there's almost no way to guarantee not 1-2mm off. Never have to metion never have 2 rackets could be made to be exactly the same. However, if the wrap is obvious, say more than 0.5cm, it's the time to talk with the stringer and might consider to get another one.
