    I was reading the CentralSports catalogue, and it said something about racket repairs, but it isn't cheap, I think 35 pounds or something. You can download thier catalogue at www.centralsports.co.uk the racket repair thingy is at the end of the catalogue.

    Yep got a centralsports catalogue, its on the back page, £35 to repair a single carbon failure, so if you have a high end racquet that you like and cant directly replace it could be money well spent.

    Personally, I think with an experience crafty worker, repair a broken racket to "usable" status is possible. However, to be "exactly as identical characteristics as original" is highly impossible. :rolleyes:

    i doubt it's worthwhile since it'll throw the whole balance of the racquet off. plus for 25 euros and shipping, say, another 10-15 euros, you're already about 20-25% of the way to buying a new one.

    Definitely possible because i saw my friend's yy Ti10 repaired after a clash of rackets but the feel isn't identical and it cost a mere RM50 about USD13.

    it's only slightly cracked, only noticeable when you look really really close, also when hitting with it, it doesn't feel the same, is there anywhere in the US i can get my racket repaired? or does anyone know what's the process on sending my NS 9000 away to be repaired?
