    The paint keeps falling off. Is it because i keep hitting the frame or is it really brittle.

    Also, will sportschek let me return it, the paint is already off in 3 areas and its been gripped:crying:

    It happens to all racquets, and with a lower end racquet like yours it'll happen more easily. It happens when you hit the shuttlecock on the frame of the racquet or when you clash with another racquet.

    I don't know if you can return it or not, but I'm guessing it's not likely unless you're a pushy person and can get what you want. :)

    i dont recommend buying racquets from sportschek nor restrings. once me and my friend went to go ask what kinda badminton strings they got and suggested we buy this tennis string LOL, that string was so thick i dont even think it'd fit through the grommet.

    buying rackets from sprotchek isnt TOO bad..

    but if theres a sportmart in your area i suggest you go there to buy same rackets for cheaper...

    and NEVER under any circumstances that u want your racket back in a condition that can even be USED, go to sportchek for restringing... they ahve the biggest noobs doing your rackets(i ebt they dont even know the correct string layouts).

    one time i went, i asked for 24 pound tension on my racket and he was like, 18 max for that model and im like no it aint, look on the shaft. and he was like well (and i quote) *see this book? it has every single racket ever made and it tells me that your racket max is 18 lbs*

    lol?

    I kinda have the same problem with my racquet, I mean yeah I have chips that I know but looking at it Ill like hit the sweet spot and look at my racquet theres like a flake of paint missing. My cone is the worse though the paint is starting to come off not like chip but fall off so like after a smash I look at it and bam theres a piece falling off or the pain itself is cracking off. No actual damage to the shaft or clone or frame just the paint...Im thinking poor paint job. Or is just wansnt made to handle the forces I inflict on a racquet :rolleyes: lol

    Racquet is actually 6 months old now, forza asia amour 40000 and well cold conditions...dude its Calgary...walking to to talisman taking the train is enough to freeze your racquets in the winter. Oh well gonna go and pronally get a Ti 12 from forza...sweet racquet.

    lol thats nothing, i walk around the city with my racquet in its case in -30 degrees celcius temperature, walk around whats your racquet, get some grip and retstring, then walk back and wait for the train, about 15 mins. get off, wait for bus, 15 mins, then i go and (like a 5 min walk) walk to lc and then play, then wait for the bus which is another 15 -20 mins lol. so it goes extremely cold then warm then extremely cold then warm etc... i think ill freeze and die before my racquets paint becomes damaged by weather :p .
