    hmm
    Your ns9900 must be one of the weaker versions mine is also 3UG3
    So far it has survived about 7 clashes, 3 of which, left chips.
    1. Clashed with amatuer, using steel racket, left two chips one at 3 oclock postition and one very small at 11 o'clock, the amateur was a bit over enthusiastic
    2. Clash with regular partner leaving rather large chip at 2 o'clock position
    3. Don't know what they were playing at, was doing a half court warm up before team event competition. I was warming up with my friend and had just played a clear, I had my racket at about waist height, with a loose forehand grip, when the person sharing the court with me attempted to play a forehand drive with racket at about 90 degree angle ( I am left handed they are right handed) and swung they're racket smacking mine out of my hand. Flying towards the net. I was angry, I think the only reason it didn't crack was due to my loose grip. Chip was caused at 7 o'clock position

    Not to entirely hijack your thread, but I bought an NS9900 online back in November, and within 30 days it had cracked and collapsed on the side (although not as beautifully as yours), after a single clash weakened it and subsequently a backhand frame hit on the shuttle finished it off.

    I sent it back to the online retailer (in China) for warranty, and they delayed for 3 months (warranty period?) before telling me that it wasn't replaceable under warranty, but now they are offering to 'fix' it for the equivalent of $15USD.

    Which seems a little suspicious to me.. Have I been taken for a ride all along with perhaps a fake racquet / fake returns process / fake repair process? Can carbon fiber really be repaired?

    Carbon fiber can be repaired to a certain degree but it will never be as strong as the original.
