    Hi All,

    I have a problem where the shaft is now turning in the handle by 5-10 degrees. The racket is an Isometric 97VF.

    Does anyone know if Yonex guarantees against this happening, or do I need to take it apart and epoxy/glue the shaft back in place? Any help would be appreciated... I've never had a racket do this before.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    They will fix it for you if you send the racket back.
    And once they run out of material, you might get a new racket.

    Wow, thanks for the great thread link.

    The cone on mine is securely glued to the handle, however the shaft pulls right out. So I'll probably be epoxying the shaft back in today. I bought the racket barely used, so packaging it up and sending it in would end up costing me quite a bit more percentage-wise than just fixing it on my own.

    Thanks again for the help!

    this happened to one of my friends

    in the end, the racquet just started to fall apart. the shaft and head seperated from the cone and grip. i dont believe my friend can get it sent back to yonex since it was such an old racquet, but still. it was a isometric something
