yes Like the title said, I've been carefully look at the racquets, it's either MOST or ALL of them are unbalance. One side is go out more than the other. SAD
1 side for forehand and another side for your backhand,try it with same power wif both side, u will see the different
I'm not sure what is being stated here.. Are you saying the shaft stiffness is different based on which side of the racquet face is being "used"?
i want to believe you but i won't before you : post some pics before i think your post is a b**l s**t
Gamepurpose, I hope you only string for yourself. Following your post in the stringing & technique thread http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82908 I can conclude that you've deformed racket solely on your technique in stringing, nothing to do with "yonex racquets = bend". The reason for me to think this way is because no stringer should have to RE-adjust the side supports during stringing. Since you have done so after some of the strings are tensioned you are actually allowing the racket to change shape (due to the tensioned strings). Squeezing the racket by tightening the side supports will damage your racket inevitably. To further solve your problem, if you even care for your rackets, take the advice from the member who requested you to show your setup so we can all help you troubleshoot your problem. Please don't jump into conclusion that all "yonex racquets = bend". Thanks.
+1 I guess the thousands of other stringers out there were all wrong when the frame maintained its shape....
haha! Happy April Fool's Day to you too!! i seriously think our friend here has mistaken badminton rackets for pingpong bats!
he mean the racket head,its true if u watch u really carefully, just a little big not too much ,its design for forehand and backhand play,its quite obvious on my carbonex 8 sp
a picture speaks a thousand words. maybe you can take a picture of your "design for forehand and backhand play" Carbonex 8SP and let the others analyze the validity of your statement. the only time my racket suffered a "bend" was when a fat girl accidentally sat on my racket bag full of rackets.
Isn't the Cab 8 have an aluminum head? Carbon graphite will restore itself to it's natural shape (of the mold it was made in) unless under some external force.
Err... all racquets flex! And if you always hold it a certain way, one side will generally flex more than the other! It's just wear and tear!
sorry, that I don't have a camera to take picture, even if I do, I don't even know how to post it up here. However, if anyone actually have yonex racquet. Just look at the head (face) watever you want to call it. I might think autolink is right, it was design like that for forehand and backhand. But yes, If you guys think i'm just one of the bs people posting this and that, then seriously look at it carefully for yourself. easy way to prove it, try to place it on paper, use a pen or pencil trace around the racquet, down to the shaft alittle. then turn it around, make sure the shaft is in the right position (to insure that it's in the right place) you'll see the differences. I'm not sure if that's happen all models. But yea so far try these, because I have these racquets ns 9900 armortec 900T ns 7000 armortec 700 arc 7 and to Distanc3, I do respect other people advice, I've always listen other people opinions and advices. So please, don't do what you wanting me not to do "jump into conclusion". I don't know, if you, Distanc3, have a machine for yourself or not. Because I have a friend who taught me in real life. An fortunately that person was certified by the yonex stringer, or watsoever you call them.
This going be off topic, but I just want to let Distanc3 hear the commonsense. If you compare an unstrung racquet with a racquet with string. The face is going to be different size. Right? If it is true, then isn't the frame of the racquet's head shrunk? Further more, if the head shrunk, shouldn't I adjust the supporter each time the head gets smaller? Now that's being said. If the head get smaller which mean it will slip away from the clamp, and without being held down when you pull 30 lbs across the racquet that thing will bend obviously.
I think you just answer the question, restore itself to it's NATURAL SHAPE (of the mold it was made in) Why don't you guys think about the mold was made to be different, it is not perfect or so call BALANCED from both side.
I think you missed the point of my statement but I've highlighted it above. These molds are VERY precise and symetrical.
so did you actually tried the test that i came up with? And I think you missed the point of my statement also. All i'm saying the MOLD, the mold from the machine where they making racquets, it is already Not very precise and symetrical. Well sorry, because they spent million of money to research on how to make good racquet, so i'll take what i said back. Let me correct it this time. MAYBE the MOLD was very precise according to the way yonex has research to make the best perform for the players; however, it wasn't made for both side to be symmetric.
