    used it mostly for singles, and for coaching but not much doubles and when i did then it wasnt involved in any clashes just some deep gets but thats about it. oh well just going to get some new racques thats all. sucks about your racquet too i remember reading about that when you posted it.

    if your 3u racket broke from just smashing, then i highly question your stringer ability:p

    well i get my coach to string it and all my racquets, greg bury but yeah like i dont rule out that the racquet could have gotten damaged somehow before without me noticing it and then over time of using it then just gave out. I just noticed a crack forming before this happened and figured yeah alright its going to break but yeah had no warrenty on it so just kept on using it and this is the end result.

    Yup, I added the pair of U-shaped grommets at the first 2 holes either side of the shaft. I did try to do it to the next set (like the Yonex rackets) but the grommet wasn't long enough to extend through the frame properly :rolleyes:.

    aiks, tough luck, how many have you broken since the beginning of 2007?

    you should check out the yehlex uk website, they are doing 2-for-1's on a couple of racquets. a guy in my club bought 2, liked them and bought 2 more!
