Is this safe to string?

[Antxn]

I recently got this aerotus 100, beautiful racket! I did some grommet inspection especially the 12oclock position.

I found that there is a bit of sink in, very very minor.

But this being an aerotus 100, I'm very paranoid about stringing it and damaging the frame...

Need some help/judgement from people here whether if it's still safe to string

Thanks!

Yes. that's fine. that's a mold line and a marker for the 12 oclock position and not a crack. If you are really concerned about the sink in, get a T/L shaped grommet, or even better a U-grommet but the sizing will be a problem.

The Aerotus series is not very strong. I won't recommend anything higher than 25lbs.

Now I play 20lbs only, mainly to protect my rackets

I got a U Grommet which was mean for grommet 5 and 6 on the AT700. It is slightly big but I guess that may work...

make sure it is a good fit. a poorly fitting grommet might create more stress.

Try this gasket, you still need regular grommets to insert into the holes:

Or like Kwun said, T/L shaped grommets:
