hi all,

just wondering what everyone thinks of my 2 rackets. the Z has a chip which i got at th beginning of th session( which i smashed quite a lot it) couldnt feel it but there is one layer of paint + graphite tht is lifted from th rest of th racket. couldnt feel it but...

the 9900 has a chip missing, whicht h photo cant pick up. no thicker then a nail but it's 1mm deep and about 4mm long. the point where the cone meets th shaft has a funny tapping sound wen i make small swings as well. dont remember it playing badly. is it a goner????

from the picture, I think your rackets are fine
but you need to check it again, are there any hairline cracks? (check it, because we cannot really see it here)
if there is no crack or hairline cracks, it's fine then

for the cone, I'm not really sure
maybe you can post the pic of the cone?

there are no cracks on th arc, th pics make it look much worst thn wht it really is. th cone has tiny bits of paint missing from th top but no gap like others have posted. also, th sound only occurs wen i swing tht racket side to side. is tht bad?
