i have a question, recently i bought a At 700 u3g4 and the frist time i strung it,i asked for bg 80 at 25lb. I hit the birdie 4 times and the strings broke.Ok i thought probaly just some bad strings etc then the ppl at the racket store told me to get bg68ti at 23lb. I played with it for i dont kno how long...less then 4 hours and it broke. So now im really pissed and my dad brough it back to the racket store for me and they repaired the strings. O yea the strings broke close to the middle the first time(up adn down) second time it broke in the middle (up and down).Now the racket has no head heavyness at all,i compare it to my 800de 3ug4 and it has more of a head heavyness. It feels like my friends nano 7k but a tad heavier.....is there something wrong with my racket??and how do warranties work? just in case u want to kno how much experience i have,ive been playing for 2 years
if you want, send it to yonex so they can inspect it, warranty is 6 months or 12 months, just need proof of purchase.
o yea the stiffness is less stiff then my 800de and the head shape seems to be bigger then at500,ns7000,at800(compared it with friends and my rackets) i live in calgary too,i bought my racket from "whats your racket" do i just bring it back to them?
if the racquet is still in mint condit. i think you should be able to return it. i dunno the return policy there as i have never bought a racquet from there? btw how much you get it for?
where do u buy ur rackets from? i got it for 230$ my friend wanted a new racket too and my sister bought a new racket so we got some big discount its normaly 270's$
i live in calgary,AB...ive even played with u before i got the at700 at "What's Your Racket" a store in calgary
i guess im a pretty good smasher,im thinking the whole racket is messed up,i havent check the grommets for a while,now that i look at it they are kinda streched out(not that bad shape)....o i forgot to mention that ive had this racket for less then a month
you better hurry up and send it to yonex cause if the warranty is over then they wouldnt bother about you anymore, right now none of us have any idea what is going on
Am I missing something here? If the strings broke both times in the middle then I don't think grommets will have anything to do with it. And how can a racket all of a sudden be less head heavy than before?
i agree with you ryeung. how can a racket lose weight or have a change in weight distribution without it being hugely deformed e.g. having half the head missing . i would think about changing your stringer it sounds the head is becoming distorted if it is a different size to other rackets. do you know what machine it was strung on?
the armortec should be authentic if its from WYR, maybe its an off spec? hmm. try getting cooler to string for you .
im gonna go to WYR tomorrow and see if i can get a new one,or get it checked out. Hopefully ill be able to get a new one
i doubt you can get a new one since yours is in good condition...but its worth a try to see what you can do about it. good luck
