    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: a hammer :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    racket::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

    i would feels sorry for him/her :crying:... me thinks the string is causing the deformation. i think its a great idea to smash it with a hammer :D . good luck! :D (lets just hope its a 2 dollar steel racket)

    what tension u string it at? string? racket? maybe the stringer didn't do it equal and didn't follow this thread: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9516

    if its at high tension, i really think that you should cut the strings right away so it doesnt crack. (i am not a professional at all, ask kwun or cooler)

    regards,

    jc

    it will be useful if you tell us what racket it is and what string tension.

    if it is graphite racket, you are basically out of luck. a graphite racket bent after a collision means that the structure already fractured and cracked. there is no way to "bend" it back.

    if it is a metalic head, you may be able to do it if you are careful.

    sound like a metallic frame.
    bend it back when the string is removed.

    Your racquet warped while it's at 18lb?!?!

    You're really unlucky :crying:

    Doubt you can fix it :\.... You can try, but try when you remove the string.
