    So I decided to show everyone a picture of one of my cracked AT700. Was the crack caused by a clash or poor stringing?

    Not sure..but could you state what tension you used because yonex's warranty might do the trick.

    Oh no, I'm not worried about the crack, I know exactly what caused it, but I just wanted to see if the BC community could spot the difference :D Kinda like those Real or Fake challenges. BTW more pics will be put up later on!

    I shall take a poke at it!

    I can say that it was broken while playing and not while stringing! To actually say whether the break was due to a poor sting job or not, i shall wait for some more photos.

    As of now i am leaning more towards a clash on a swing and then followed by a smash that actually broke it!

    Another fake or real challenge ? In that case, I know the answer before Matt. But I won't post the answer I know until more detailed info about the racket is made available.

    Can you take a better picture with enough lighting for the next batch?

    It looks like a "clash" accident.
    Reasoning:- that spot is a very common spot for clashes...

    Why would you suspect poor stringing?

    It could be a combination of both of course.. Tensioning the crosses from the bottom to the top makes a racket more vulnerable to breaking at the 2-o-clock position. In that case, a clash could do the trick

    You're taking this too far. Let it go, both of you. Take it up personally instead of publicly.

    Either way not a manufacturing defect so either you get your stringer to replace it or you groan and buy a new racket. Due to the poor quality of the picture it is hard to tell but looks like a clash.

    Actually you mean CB6 since he's trying to get attention. Just disregard his post.

    Isn't it usually the case of bad stringing if the crack is right on the grommet?

    Agreed.

    From the way it broke; broke outwards, it is certainly due to stringing at a tension that the frame could not withstand. There is nothing to do with your stringing techniques, it is just the frame material. Most probably it is a fake.

    Thanks
