    I always ask my stringers to do one-piece stringing method for me (only 2 knots on the frame)

    I doubt that the stringer pull the string too hard, because it's the machine which did the tensioning & pull the strings, the stringer adjust the string & the machine pull each string, every time one string was pulled, there will be a display of 30lbs on the machine's digital display. I always examine my racquet after each stringing process & found no cracks on the frame.

    Summore the racquet was strung nearly 2 months ago before it finally broke. After many hours of torture lol :)

    I can blame the stringer of course, but on which evidence?? I can't find stringing errors evidences that's strong enough to cause that serious damage on my racquet:)

    I guess you should have asked your stringer to stick to the Yonex pattern I linked above :)

    It can also be done using the one piece stringing method, just that it takes a little bit of pre-weaving to get the pattern right before the tensioning.

    the breakage part also didn't occur on the tie knot. it's further down...closer to the "T"....

    Nope, Yonex Sunrise Malaysia rejected my claim, they know I strung the racquet at a very high tension & caused the frame to crack :)
