    Unless it's previous badly damaged (powerful mis-hit / clash or terrible string job), I am kinda surprised about the spot it's broken.

    Now I have seen the picture, I am suspecting it might be stringer's fault...
    It is very rare to see Cab30 frame broke on that spot.

    If that's the case, I agree with SH, as it looks like a stringer's issue, or during transaction (i.e. shipping, etc).

    100 clear is nothing, even if you hit like LD. :D

    Aww poor racket =( Alex, you might want to consider to get new Cab23 so you can have two, one being on stand-by and ready to go if a string breaks on one of them. I finally remember your post about your stringer being far away and your racket pic (NGB98 imprinted it), refreshed my memory so this would make life easier for you.

    Indeed a strange place for breakage, even for a stringer to mess up.

    ok i am sending it back for an RMA it might be bad batch of cab30 ? i don't know

    but the stringing method is that a reason for yonex to reject me ? on RMA?

    i looking at yonex official stringing and this is just normal four knot ... not the yonex stringing method on the webpage?

    :crying:

    I lost a Cab30ms (the only singaporean one I have) on a really bad game day when I bumped the racket onto the floor in a desperate attempt to drive the shuttle back. Shuttle didn't make it, neither did the racket.

    The broken racket is still lying around in my study waiting for dissection.

    Fortunately, I still have 2 more Cab30's :rolleyes:

    after i got it restring at 23lb i lost some feeling so i am not sure it was bad batch of Cab30ms or it's just i am unlucky but i do use it at 100% for one whole week every single day doing clears and heavy hitting ... << does not mean i am good i just hit the birds really hard ... not as hard as everyone else but for me i give it 100% i got .... for one whole week .. and that happen.
