I was in a badminton shop earlier today and i went to buy some grips when i saw a Winex T-10 there up on display. Seems pretty interesting, kinda like the 3U Ti-10 (Blitz??). But anyway, at the bottom part of the frame, there were pieces of rubber, i assume part of a rubber grip, stuck in between the gromments. I assume it acts as a muscle power frame, absorbing the shock. Anyone tried this? Or anyone know if this works? thanx
where is the rubber thingy placed?.........if it is only right beside the T-Joint then I think it acts as some sort of dampener.......not sure........but I have seen my friends stick a piece of leather onto both sides of the t-joint......
hee why automatically call out my name? Anyway is the racket stable? How much is it ah? Cos quite afraid to buy any rackets beside Carlton or Yonex....
you mean, on the two grommets right next to the T? if so, that's the way people used to string racket, they put a piece of leather there. the rational was because, before the days of the hidden t-joint, there is an external t-joint. and that piece of leather is there to protect the string from the sharp edge. stringers used to do it until the early 90s. then they stop putting that piece of leather there. some old timers still do. i have one racket strung by someone recently and he still put the piece of leather there.
I don't blame you...... about that racket, looks quite stable, lighter. About the price? uh, sorry..... forgot to ask.... hehehe......
i doubt its a muscle power frame..... first of all, the yonex muscle power frame design was not intended to reduce shock...it's purpose is to provide more racquet face stability and help prevent string breakage...i doubt sticking peices of rubber anywhere u please will accomplish this.
hmm, didn't really notice, i didn't get to really check it out that day. But i should think so seeing that it was made in Taiwan...
