I've had this racquet for the longest time but never used it, till recently. I wasn't too used to the feel. But I popped the 9 year old strings. haha. I'm not to sure on what to do. Restring it and keep it?. Throw it away?. I dunno. I also have a carbonex20tour sp that I use, but you know the thing that holds the shaft, the second piece above the handle is cracked... what do I do with that? tape it? because It makes this horrible sound. haha. But I hear from alot of old players that the carbonex 8 is the best 3 piece racquet out there. and the cab-20 tour sp, is rare. haha. I dunno, can some people confirm this for me.thx
