Yeah... It broke in the shaft at like the 10th shot. It was brand new... **** happens...

**mizivincible** · 12-21-2008, 03:29 PM

OMG, that's sad. How did it happen ? Does look like a big impact to me.

**silentheart** · 12-21-2008, 03:31 PM

Good job! Now you are in the league with Sir DinkALot now. Time to get a new racquet.

Best wish...

**ToxBad** · 12-21-2008, 03:35 PM

nah... normal impact... i smashed the birdie on the frame and the shaft collapsed. the racket head just droped on the ground at my feet... really strange feeling lol... I still got 2 others though...

Wow, not a pretty sight. Maybe a sign that these rackets are not durable?

**ToxBad** · 12-21-2008, 04:01 PM

I dunno... I HOPE NOT... I LOVE them.
I dunno which apacs would be an equivalent to these... I really like em

**chongkiatz** · 12-21-2008, 11:41 PM

wow....how long did u use the racket?? so evil >.<...lucky my racket stil look great =D

**ToxBad** · 12-21-2008, 11:58 PM

I already said it... like 15 seconds... it broke on the 10th shot of playing, brand new...

**Terraglow** · 12-22-2008, 12:11 AM

time to change man.....
my friend have similar accident with you using Apacs, but it just longer in period ( 10 days )........

**Pete LSD** · 12-22-2008, 12:31 AM

The graphite must be the more brittle type. Good for strength and stiffness but bad for durability.

**cooler** · 12-22-2008, 12:45 AM

imo, just bad manufacturing/quality control. It is not if it broke but how it broke.

**illusionistpro** · 12-22-2008, 01:04 AM

looks quite terrible. makes you question their QA standards...

**hoiboy79** · 12-22-2008, 01:57 AM

You guys shouldn't question APACS' quality now that someone has posted a story of how fast their racket broke. You should know that a racket can break at any time and it only happened to break within the first ten shots in this case. It is just a matter of luck or lack thereof for ToxBad. I feel for you though, I hope my AMP 90 doesn't have to meet its death like this.

I had an AMP that broke very similar to this one. I played two rallies of less than 10 minutes each with it. I didn't do any hard shots at all because the grip wasn't done to my preference yet. It didn't hit the ground or clash. The frustrating part is I didn't even get to play a game with it.

The part that broke was roughly 3 to 4 cm down from the T-joint. I should have taken photos but the breakage didn't occur catastrophically. It felt funny and when I looked at it when sitting down I noticed the crack at the point mentioned winding downward. IMO, it looked like the wrap had a lamination problem.

can you make a claim ???? i think you can ....You are just so luck to pick the weakest of the Monster .....

**chongkiatz** · 12-22-2008, 04:16 AM

my AMP90 used for 2~3 month..3 time break string....now the 4th time string in the shop....but lucky my racket stil look good =D...i think out of 10000 racket , there are maybe 20~30 racket may occurs this problem........nowaday everything quality keep going down because of the economic problem...even how branded thing may cause broke just in a short time...

i think u can get claim from them since u just used for 15 second =D

**findecano1** · 12-22-2008, 06:00 AM

Seems like a nasty clash there

chongkiatz, 3rd time string snapped? May I know what string you use and what's the tension? Hopefully I don't face this prob of string snapping so frequent.
