Nope. Not at all. Maybe im lucky haha
So far right now have any sign of sinking grommet?
Is this with plastic or feather birds?I unfortunately broke one of my new JS12M yesterday while playing. I had miss hit the shuttle and it broke around the 11 o clock position. (Near the tie off hole) This caused my racket to cave into 1 side and crack the graphite near the Tie off hole. I only string my rackets to 26x28.5 pounds. One of my friends had the original JS12 and he broke all of them in the same position, caused by the same miss hit but he strung it over 30 pounds.
Any signs of sinking frame before that? Or maybe increase in grommet hole size likeI unfortunately broke one of my new JS12M yesterday while playing.

I've mishit often (and seen other players do the same) on the frame with feather birds and never has this problem with other rackets. (fingers crossed)

Can you be sure that what you bought were genuine ones? 4 rackets with the same issue, none of which involved in terrible clashes and seem to be not too old or not strung at ridiculously high tensions? That really sounds strange to me if the rackets involved were genuine ones.

Possibly. Either the tension or the way it was strung?Could be a stringing issue
The way it's strung. I can't imagine a top end racquet having issues at 26lbs.Possibly. Either the tension or the way it was strung?

Time to jump ship to yonex or lining.Yep all stored properly. I have used alot of victor rackets and it wasnt until this year ive been getting getting problems
Ive strung countless BS12s and JS8, 9 and the very first number of the JS10s and the sinking grommets were never had a problem. All the other brands dont give me any problems, especially at 26 pounds. The js12F that my gf uses had the sinking grommet problem at 26 pounds with bg66um. At this point im gonna start putting bumpers on the spot the grommets sink on all rackets just incase
My js12m did not have the sinking problem but there was the break from a miss hit
Ive been reading the forums for years and ive been praying i never encounter these problems, but its only recent its been happening.

In this case, it's fair to say that the stringing cannot be the root cause. From what I've seen, @xZhongCheng has a superb stringing techniqueThe way it's strung. I can't imagine a top end racquet having issues at 26lbs.

However, I also can't shake off the feeling that something is off here. 4 rackets gone in a very short timeframe at the same spot is just very rare. I mean, we all know that the latest Victor frames are not very robust (to say the least), but that definitely goes one step beyond that.
As we say in Germany - other mothers have pretty daughters too.Sadly... I loved victor stuff during the pre Jetspeed era. The brave swords were indestructible lol. Never had any problems.
Well I had 2xMX60 for 5yrs without issues but then a BS12 broke on me within 2 months, and it wasn't due to a mishit or a clash. It literally just snapped at the bottom 5 o'clock position, where a racquet is supposed to be the strongest.Sadly... I loved victor stuff during the pre Jetspeed era.
