    I have had a Muscle Power 99 for a long time now, and recently I realized there was a a crack that was a little over half a centimeter long, so it doesn't do much to the performance.

    I was wondering what I should do to prevent it from cracking it even more.

    Should I crazy glue it? =D

    &if the whole cone breaks off, are those replacable?

    Thanks.

    cone = cap?

    If it is the cone or cap, then it would not be a problem, because it is just a plastic cone / cap, but what you need to worry is that whether the wood inside that break and cause the crack in your cone / cap.

    Because the shaft was attached to the wood not the cone / cap.

    If you still worry about the crack, you would need to take out the cone / cap to double check.

    you are welcome :)

    But IF you decided to take out the cap to double check whether there is any crack, do remember that once you take out the cap, you will NOT able to replace it.

    *you need to cut open the cap in order to take it out.

    A cracked cone will not affect the racket performance. Don't bother to take it out. It might click once in a while.
