A bit off topic.. jerby (and Erwin), no worries guys, nothing personal, at least from me...we're all in the same boat, sounds kool??..
sure, it's cool. (Darn..I promised to make a point...oh wait!) Dan, Before I got carried away on the woven-10..whý do/did you actually buy the woven 7 when you get 4 d600's by saturday? are you out of rackets?
*sigh* This is the last time I'm going to explain myself. I met Steve of www.ibuysports.com at SGVBC. I gave him the D600 for warranty replacement and he had a Woven 7 for me to borrow during the interim but no Woven 10. Out of rackets? I have over 100 rackets but I choose to use SOTX. I...I'm not posting anymore, it's fruitless.
I had this happen to one of SP-9000s last year at the VRC. Can't remember who was playing with me, but they had never seen the head frame break from a smash mishit on the frame before. It does happen ( though my weapon is only strung at 21 pounds)
Dink.. your 50% smash is 150% normal club players smash.. we must then take down your smash speed. I'm sure it is close with Fu Hai Feng's smash speed.
Ants: My double's partner (GuavaWang) is exaggerating, there's no way my smash is even close to FHF's. I'm still a work in progress.
I know and play doubles with Steve, the owner of www.ibuysports.com. He takes care of all my warranty issues and backs up everything he sells. So yes, I gave him the broken D600 for warranty replacement, he gave me a Woven 7 in the interim and I ordered three additional D600s.
broken! My racquet broke exactly the same way as yours, only it was a yonex mp45. I think both of us miss hit the shuttle at one of the weakest points of a racquet- 2 on top sides and 2 on bottom sides. I felt really sad!
No need to feel sad, it will happen... ...here are many more : http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=834505#post834505
Uhhhhhh, Panda gentle on shuttle. Not Panda fault shuttle so violent on racket. Panda gooooood! Goooood Panda!
I have got an indestructible racket( Ashaway VP Electro). I have smashed it against walls, floors and even a metal pole or two and it is still going strong. Ashaway rackets are the most durable in my opinion and I have not heard of anyone who has broken an Ashaway Racket. PS I also won a Wilson n1 racket which broke within 2 weeks of play. This was the same scenario as you(shuttle broke frame).
these broken racket threads are always so interesting lol, we should have sub-thread just for pictures of broken badminton equipment and we could be like CSI investigators and try to guess what happened and stuff hahah!@
hahah i did the same thing to my partner once, was reaching across the court to do a drive but it ended up at the back of his head at point-blanc range, he said we went blind for a second...
