Hairline crack?

**phandrew** · 02-02-2008, 02:50 AM

I was playing mix doubles today and i accidentally hit my partner's racket. Do you think the big chip on my racket has a small hairline crack?

You can never be shure... Only thing you can be shure of is that is isn't totally cracked, and that it has a chip missing

it looks fine..aslong as u don't see a LINE crack going AROUND the frame..=)

as long as it's just the paint crack line..that's ok.u should see whether the crack goes through the graphite or not..

looks like a paint chip to me

It is a paint chip. Most hairline cracks do not show paint being chipped, and often appears at the top, caused by stretching of the frame or load-spreaders when stringing.

I had another clash yesterday and i checked the chipped paint and noticed something weird. One section was greyish and the other part was black. Does anybody know what it is?

phandrew, get ready some money to buy a new racket soon. from looks of it, won't last that long.

Yooo Man, you clash your racket almost everyday.
It's a racket not a sword

Just use it, you're not going to put it in the museum, are you?

I had my at700 broken last time, the black one is like a fiber.
on the at700 after the fiber you will find some kind like wood.

But will the frame break by itself if you see that black stuff?

I've got a bigger chip than that on my Mp40 ( I can see more of that black stuff) , but I've still been able to use it for the past half a year with it without any problems at all. or maybe it's just because it's a jp..
