    I've got a crack in the frame of my racquet. I don't have a good enough camera to take a pic of it, but it spans a third of the frame's side. There's no obvious bits of graphites taken out, but you can clearly see a crack.

    I've been playing with it for quite a while, but broke my strings yesterday. Would it be safe for the racquet if I restrung it?

    If it's really a crack,then u should repair it first before restringing it.Otherwise it'll be dangerous.

    forget it. RIP.

    time for a new one.

    i once had a pretty substantial chip on my racket, i thought it would be ok. it buckled on the first game and i wasted $15.
