Don't worry it is only posibility that it will happen, even if they happen you can choose 2 course action: 1. Claim warranty. 2. install continous grommet. Best regards,
I will definitely claim warranty if that ever happen on my ax99. So far mine still in good condition with 28lbs, maybe i will find out after i have my second restring
No. originally it is for Armortec 900 P, but also arcsaber 11 can use it to without modification. It can be also use for ZFII.
Ok, the photos from your mod caught my eye before I read the source of your problem. maybe a piece of advice: try to use ZF2 grommets if applicable on the grommets location where the 'sinking' occurs. I own 4 ZF2 rackets for over 4 years and none of these grommets had worn off. I mentioned about it to my local badminton store owner/stringer and he confirmed the exceptional durability of the ZF2 grommets. I do string my rackets myself: AX99 26,5 lbs (12 kg) (no grommet sinking issue.....yet (2 wks old)) AX99 28,5 lbs (13 kg) (no grommet sinking issue.....yet (4 wks old)) 4x ZF2 29 lbs (13,5 kg) Now you mentioned this I will try to install a set of the ZF2 grommets on my AX99 if the stringbed is death/broken, just to try. Fingers crossed and good luck with your case!
I actually have a different approach on this: I am using an thick Karakal basic grip and applied the whole grip continuously till the mid of the shaft. I way the racket swing feels 'faster' due to the extra 'stiffness' added to the shaft. (and maybe also due to the changed weight distribution). it might even changed the HH feel but this setup benefits the maneuverability of the racket because I felt the racket shaft too flex to my taste (i am a ZF2 player). I also see professionals doing this but not sure about the reason behind it.
it doea not, @s_mair, its not "faster", it just increases the power u use from ur wrist, thats all. that makes the shuttle faster, but you will still suffer in flat exchanges. so if our dear friends here want faster rackets, here's a suggestion. why not use a lighter racket (eg. 4U)?
@s_mair @ucantseeme @Ch1k0 How about, someone, write a post (and get it stickied), complete with physics and diagrams, explaining why adding weight to the handle of a racquet does not actually change the playing characteristics of the racquet? I think that would be bloody fantastic
Wouldn't matter. Like I said earlier before. Eventually some smartass pleb who thinks they know better is gonna say something misinforming along the same lines and another boat load of plebs will hop on the same train. And then here we go all over again. People just seem to think they can defy the simplest laws of physics. I'm not saying gripping with a replacement grip in the more esoteric ways (all the way up half the shaft) is not gonna do nothing. I've messed around with dozens of gripping styles over my decade and a half of more serious playing. Yes it will do something, by changing the perceived feel and balance of a racket to a certain degree at most. But at the end of the day you are not relieving any of the stresses on your arm by doing so. You're still swinging a racket with a 90/94g (4U/3U) swing weight, no matter what you do, with a stiff shaft. You can't overcome that with a cheap trick. You're basically dressing up a tiger as a mountain lion but at the end of the day it is still a tiger. P.S. There's nothing wrong with the current YY glue for their original grips. You simply don't know how to remove it cleanly =P Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
Exactly so this needs to be in a sticky thread so that anyone who writes this stuff can be referred to it And yeah I figured out how to take the grip off cleanly, by using a hairdryer!
Don't need one And I don't have a hair dryer either. I'm not about to risk my life by borrowing my mother or my sister's Dyson either. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
mind removing for me...i ended up using penknife...and damaged the handle, and myself PS. ive done it cleanly for zf2 and z strike. dk why i just cant for ax99...its just so frustrating
Nah too lazy. Just remove it slowly. Slow is smooth. Smooth is clean. We'll at least 90% Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
I can't do 90%.. perfectionism doesn't allow for that. And how slow do you have to go? I went so slowly even with a hairdryer, just to get it off at like 98% clean.
