  4. where you found the crack in the MP100 is not important. I think you can ask your retail shop to assist or return. In general, all the quality of racket is decrease. You can select some high quality one such as JP or CN/CP.

    From your description it does sadly look like a crack.

    If the retailer does not give u a replacement then what u can do it is bind it and use it.

    If your MP 100 is a 3U version i think u can be kind of happy. But you cant keep high tension though. U can max keep 21-22 and nothing more.

    I just hope u take it to a racket repair guy as soon as possible.

    And pls tell him to cut of the strings so that crack does not become bigger.

    i think the racket broke there because of hig tension.I sometric rackets tend to break in these positons if the stringing tension is too high or te way the guy who guts it cuts and stuff like that.

    Best of luck

    Why don't you bring the racket and let us take a look at it this coming weekend when we play at Bishan?
    But just be prepared to buy a new racket! : )
    I think it might be cheaper to just buy a new racket than to send it overseas for repairs.
    A "repaired" racket won't feel like a new racket anyway (at least psychologically!).

    Wins Do u know anyone who is coming to Madras,INDIA.

    The repair will cost abt 2.5 SD only. And the stringing willl cost u a further 6SD for a bg 65.

    If u knbow someone who will be travelling to india and back and i can personally get it done for u.

    If it is a 3U racket i think after repair it will weigh like a 2U. That is all.

    i guess worth the cost.

    If u are studying in NTU then u will def have a lot of friends going back to madras.

    It is justa days work.

    Think of it.

    If u do find a source then mail me. I am glad to be of service.

    Best of luck

    Dont u know anyone who is travelling to india. Some student or Work mate or a friend?

    It is surprising to know that u know nobody from india when there are so many indians out there in Sg.

    It would be ideal if that guy comes to MADRAS.

    Ill try to get some one to contact u also.If that is okk with u.

    Abt trust it is for u to decide. Do u want me to say something that will make more trust worthy?

    I cant prove anything to u.

    The best deal would be to send it here through your friend and i shall get the job done. U can make your friend pay for it.

    Then u can pay him when he gets there.

    I think that is the safest way in case u dont have trust.

    Ill find someone for u.
    Keep searching.

    I agree with Mustafa that its not going to feel the same after the repairs, psychologically. Why go through all the trouble sending it to India, then you'll worry about it and every day that passes you'll worry if its been stolen or lost or something........

    why just save up a little and buy a new 1. An MP100 and not an MP77 because from what i know they are DIFFERENT rackets in terms of weights and balance points and stuff like that. And, their price is about the same here in Singapore. MP100 is $169 and MP77 is about $162
