So today I went to the school to play some badminton. Next you know I smashed and the strings broke. So luckily I got a pe teacher to borrow his scissors to cut the strings so no pressure is on the mains since I snapped the crosses. Hmm no biggy of snapping a string right. But When I was off looking at my friends play because my racquet didn't work anymore. I saw a crack near the 12 o'clock position. Weird..I was freaked out. Right now I don't know what to do. Please BCers help me on what I should do. Yes.. my beloved ns9k went away..today I'll be crying all day. :crying: :crying: Sorry there is a reflection on the 2nd picture-you can see a white line-that doesn't exist. Also for the last picture I took off the grommet so you can get a better look at it. Btw it was strung at 23lbs with bg 65--Matt checked it and he said it was about 20lbs now.
IMO, you need a good stringer. I always take my rackets to the Yonex representitive store to string. This kind of problem never happened to my rackets.
The racket has warrenty since it's was purchased from an authorized dealer. It is the same shop which I shop at to get my rackets stringed up as well. Definately not a stringer error since they have the experience. It's more like a manufacturing defect. (IMO, I think it is because of the ceiling when Azn_123 told me that he was using the racket in the house and had his arm a bit too high in the air!!) The racket had only been stringed up once for the first time with BG-65 at 23lbs from date of purchase.
That is the very first string job the racket had. I personally seen his racket before and it was in good shape.
That's not true at all. The store cracked my AT-700 a couple years back. It really depends on who string it.
It should not be the case anymore as this was years ago. They did had a shotty guy back in the past which no longer works there. That person apparently damaged one of their stringing machines as well. In any case the racket would most likely be replaced anyways since the store has very good relations with Yonex. Yonex would even replace a racket other than manufacturing defects as well if done through them.
Technically it is but you wanted a G5 initially so you can talk, with Gary that you want a G5. You end up basically with a CD coded racket.
Gary has done a lot of my rackets personally over the years, didn't notice any issues. He did let me know I'm pushing my 900SA's limit since ask him to do it at 26lbs considering it is a 4U .
errr....yeah, I guess that could matter... not smart... BTW, just a question for the high-noon-disease experts..aren't those breaks compeltly vertical 99% of the cases? (given how the 'weld', and the support are all vertical..)
