    FHF is also a Panda then ? :eek: Well maybe a super-panda..
    I wonder how many Ti10's FHF has broken.. or maybe they're super-ti10's (CP) which might be more durable.

    I'd say go for the Woven 7. Of all the rackets I've tried that has the best balance of power/defense/durability. Of course, relatively speaking.

    Others to consider:
    RSL X2Pro
    RSL X1 (heavy 3U)
    RSL X2 Gold (haven't tried, should receive this week)
    Old Ti10 2U
    Yellow Ti10 2U (doesn't last for me)
    Purple Ti10 2U
    SOTX D600
    Cab 20 in 2U
    Cab 30 in 2U
    NS9000-X in 2U (3Us don't last me)

    Others to consider but harder to get:
    Victor PW11 and 12 in 2U
    Mizuno Tetracrosses and GPs in 2U
    MP100 in 2U

    If you don't mind 88g rackets (manufacturer doesn't make heavier), also hard to get:
    Chao Pai Nano Power 799
    Chao Pai Nano Power 728 (a bit light relatively speaking)
    Astec Pro 850

    CP rackets is indeed durable. Lately i had a BIG Clash using NS8000 CP.
    My partner's racket was broken.. well.. he swung the racket VERY hard. Mine had a minor hairline crack though. :(

    No worries, I'm sure CP rackets are very hard to come by. If I had some, especially if given to me by a Pro, I'd be hard pressed to sell too. :p

    so what exactly causes these rackets to break so easily for the reason being that it was a mis-hit.

    is it because the tension is too high? simple as that?
    and like if someone could explain a detail (very very indepth detail) on the cause and effect of a mis-hit =P

    Those grommets were still in good shape, so I thought i might be able to reuse them somewhere. The PW12 also had a Muscle power grommet strip which was in good shape so I took those off as well!
