Never broken a racquet, but a friend broke his by practising smashes in his basement and hit it on a light fixture . He has since broken a few more racquets...
Super Nano 3 Do you find that the racquet is not as durable? What tension did you string the racquet at when you guys collided?
Broken racquets Would you recommend me getting these racquets? What would be a cheaper replacement for the MP99?
http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35058&highlight=Power+wave+11&page=2 PW 11 was comparing to MP99. Hmm didnt realize Trinhity post in that thread as well. lol
SOld! They were too heavy for me and compromised my defense so I sold them. I traded 2 of them for the super nano 5 and sold those as well.
oww... so you are like testing different rackets.. from what I know, supernano 3 is a little bit head heavy, but not as heavy as PW11... I hope this helps your quest for a new racket... lol
I havent broken any rackets since clashing with steel rackets on my 2 widebody 30 like...hmm, 1992? WOW, that's > 15 yrs. I did put a minor crack on my iso900 when i hit my knee on a smash follow thru but it is still very playable. I still occasionally clash my MP and armortecs but none broken yet nor suffered any cracks.
i would like to challenge you to a racket clashing competition...lol my WISH stainless steel rackets just cost me around $3... i use them whenever i play doubles with novices and beginners... so as to avoid my main weapons getting chipped... its amateur record stands: 4wins - all in ko's, with no defeats... sounds like a boxing record... lol
In my life I've broke a ns9k =( from a smash but it got replaced. It had a crack on the 12 o'clock position.
what kind of a challenge is that? Come on out and fight like a man, challenge me on a dual with similar rackets, armortec vs armortec or mp vs mp. Don't whimp me out.
if only I have that many rackets as dink has... i would definitely give you a fight... but for now, i'm treasuring my mp 99 and At700's... i don't wanna get them scratched...
My AT500 spontaneously collapsed during a rally, from a large crack which came from numerous clashes...
When I bought my Yonex MP25, there's alrdy microcrack but friend sold it very cheap and i badly need a racket. Recently when I restring it at 23lbs, the microcrack have became macro-crack.
my rackets normally break at the shaft (near the cone) or at the frame.. normally at 5 and 7 o'clock positions...
broke two rackets before. First was my ns8k from a mishit smash and broke at the very top.. Second was an isometric 52 MF that my parents keep in the car for outside parks etc. for leisure.. was just flexing the shaft for fun and it snapped ^^;
