    I got my Winex Aerodynamic 200 restrung today at 24lbs. Its an aerotus frame like racket and when i brought it home, i realised that the frame was bent. Is 24lbs too high a tension for a pure graphite no titanium racket similar to Yonex aerotus rackets?

    Thanx for all replies

    If the frame is a weak construction this could happen, but normally you should be OK. I really don't know about those Winex racquets though... It sounds like a case of poor stringing. Cut the string and the frame will return to its normal shape (if it's 100% graphite that is). Or return it to the shop and have them cut it. Do not play with it until you get it fixed.

    Just a thought... Have you checked the frame for cracks, etc? Is it structurally intact?

    Not at all, I've done 27 lbs on a Carbonex 5. Darnn thing wouldn't break until I connected with a wall. I had this racquet strong at this tenion for 3 years. I've heard that winnex racquets are pretty weak.

    I didn't notice any, there wasnt any damage in the racket frame...... Are you sure the racket will go back to its normal shape if i cut the string?

    Yeah but Carbonex rackets have tough frames. The aerotus type frames are really slim but at the same time wide in the opposite way

    I've a Winex SQ-800 strung with BG85 at 24 lbs and the frame is still ok. However I think tension higher than 26 lbs will be too dangerous for that Winex.

    I think 24lbs is already dangerous for the AD-200. Its not an isometric frame, its one of those slim width wide depth type frames. Anyway, i cut the strings off it already and its ok now
