It was a weak lift, only 3/4 to the back line ! hoping to finish the rally with a smash and as I hit the bird my thumb slipped and the racket shot straight into the ground ! hope he wont get too angry to me

so who are you referring to?

**jhirata** · 08-16-2010, 05:46 AM

His father ? friend or the owner of the racquet ?

This is a sick photo... ugly scene or crime scene...

**ShuttleCocks** · 08-16-2010, 12:47 PM

the racket belongs to my friend ! I just broke my strings and remembered he left his racket behind last session and i picked it up so i took it out just to finish the game. After finding the mangled body next to my feet a friend ran off the court beside me and threw it away yelling out "it is over, garbage !" i was just stunned

seriously, manufacturers should not use the word armor on such fragile racquets.

**ShuttleCocks** · 08-16-2010, 01:59 PM

Well it hit the ground pretty darn hard actually ... haha

**LD rules!** · 08-16-2010, 02:55 PM

**ShuttleCocks** · 08-16-2010, 03:47 PM

I broke my AT900P a few months back just from a mishit and since it was still in warranty and I strung it to the recommended string tension , they replace it with a brand new one and store gave me some coupons as well. They are very fragile rackets , but I dont think you would be warranty for ''racket broken due to slipping out of hand''.You should apologize to your friend, especially when you not ask him to borrow his racket , and buy him a new one, string it to his preference and a few drinks in the bar

I cracked a AT900T from a mishit too awhile back and have not looked back to both the 900P or the 900T...
