Hi, I am using a new MP30 nowdays. Yesterday, there was a very minor clash or rather a cling with my partner's racket. While there is no damage done, the paint is also absolutely fine, I felt some vibration in the racket in a couple of strokes after that. However, I did not feel any loss in power. Does this mean there might be some internal damage or it is merely psychological? Must add that I am using original factory strings right now and since I am suffering from a tennis elbow, after having played for some time, I am unable to use proper force. In fact mishits also increase as the elbow gets tired. When the cling happenned, I had already played a few games. Please advise...
the racquet is fine, don't worry about it. just have fun and continue playing. the only time you should worry about internal damage is if there is external damage. the paint used on racquets are usually brittle enough that it will easily chip or mar long before theres any noticable or worry-worthy damage to the graphite fibres that the racquet is made from.
Don't worry too much, it's more like a mental thing. Once u have a new "toy" in hand, u always take care of it like a baby, and once u lost the new "feeling", u will start to abuse it.
Lol... depend on how u abuse it. If u throw them against the wall when losing a game, then.... But if just pile them up against smelly shoes/socks/wet t-shirts, then they should survive.
that happens to me too =( i remember the first scratch on my new high-end yonex racquet. it was heartbreaking
