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
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..
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?
haha i have lots of chips that size and some bigger on my Ns9000s JP maybe i should post pics later cuz i dont have lots a paint left and its still alive and kicking .
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.
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..
It will probably hold up unless you hit the same spot some more, nothing to worry about unless a crack goes all around the frame where it is damaged.
