    Hi all,

    To those who have owned the above racket before (I just got mine today). Decent price too!

    Can anyone maybe give me an idea on how durable the paint is? Assuming one has clashed or scraped the floor with it?

    I was touching the racket, and it the pattern is nice, but it somewhat felt a bit...'weak.'

    The paint is pretty durable, as is the racket itself. I speak from experience when I say that it'll survive more than its fair share of clashes with both the racket and paint remaining intact.

    Thanks Danstevens,

    It was just that I noticed the karakal logo (in white, somewhat just below the midpoint of the head, on the sides) seem to be peeling off. Assuming that's the only part where paint might fall off?

    My rackets are so far holding up pretty well, the silver 'MTEC' sticker on 3/9 o clock suffer sometimes but the rest holds up well.
    The funny thing is; the first paint to go are the black 'stripes' of the tattoo, underneath them is just more silver/red. so even after a lot of wear and tear (I have an older one which I use a lot) your racket is still silver/red with bits of black.
