    it's really hard to find the partner that suit me.
    most of them when double games w/ me always perform below their average performance:(:(
    but when partnering w/ other, they do so much that the dont while with me:D:D
    In the past time i always said : fffoooollll...!!! (yelling) when my partner miss the chance, with holding my head, then hit the string to my head over and over...:D:D act like gonna suicide..:D:D
    i do that specially when my partner have the same age w/ me, now i didn't anymore. Cause my partner mostly the 75 age grandpa, i wonder he got heart attack if i doing that:D

    let's see...I weigh around 75kg then, so 8 normal smashes still can take it. now i weigh 100kg, power still there, but agility not there, so at most only 2 at one time. as for jump smash, unless the indoor court's flooring can take the impact, if not i wouldn't even attempt it.

    Clashed with my partner's (not my girlfriend) racket during a doubles game. Did not really break though, only got a crack but I retired it so not to break it. Currently saving up to get an Armortec 900P after my girlfriend got the better of my Nanospeed 9000X (currently her favorite racket now). =)

    I am not going to crack the dirty joke about the extra stiff shaft.

    HMMM, let me think.
    My 1st one was a kason racket (sorry forgot what type) I can honestly say that I mishit it on the side, it happened like 5 years ago.
    My 2nd racket was a Carlton airblade, it was during a tournament, my doubles partner was borrowing it, suddenly he got mad and hit it on the ground (still owes me a racket).
    My 3rd racket was an AT 800 DF strung to 27 lbs. and around 7 months later and a lot of restringing, the top of it just caved in when I smashed.
    The 4th and final racket was my beloved AT 700 (old) my coach strung it, and somehow while it was on the machine, the top cracked. (Sorry, if this doesn't count as a broken racket because the frame is only cracked a little on top, but she told me I she'll replace it and that I can't use that one anymore because it will fully break soon). Jeez (*.*), I gotta take more care of my rackets than I usually do now.

    I smashed as hard as I could to the ground. Broke my AT700.
    Then my opponents did a push and I was swinging slowly to return it and it snapped. Ti-10
