    Not a frequent visitor here so I just discovered this broken rackets forum.
    So I would like to share my Black Knight PVC 80 that I broke last year
    1. Bought in March 2008
    2. Did not clash with other rackets
    3. Did not hit the floor or whatever
    4. Strung at 25 lbs with ashaway string
    5. Broken after a regular smash in a MD game on 6/30/2008
    I guess maybe I somehow mishit the shuttle with the frame at some time and there already were cracks inside the frame.

    not surprised that it broke since it is made of PVC!! :D

    i have never seen a racket crumble like that.

    sorry to hear about your loss.

    you must have a beast of a smash.
    that is quite the interesting break as well.
    a mishit seems kinda iffy.
