Just want to warn players from stringing their racquets at the Taman Megah badminton hall shop!!! They spoiled my racquet!!! I only noticed that my racquet collapsed after removing the broken strings.

Why you didn't check your racquet first before back? What tension is it?

because it cannot be seen with the strings on....tension 27....only after removing the strings then only i saw the frame of the racquet got an indentation of the string on the frame..

Do you mean around the grommet holes (near to T-joint, counting out no.5 onwards) have dented (sunk) ? What racket is that ?

its(sunk) between the 9th and 10th hole Yonex Ti-5

Ask chiller have a look he is racquet and string doctor

There are many factors: could be material defect, stored under hot condition, been using for long time already, constant high tension stringing (>26lbs).

I have few rackets (Less than 1 year to 1 year+) that have similar incident, worst than ur case. I'd just buy new.

If only this part sunk at 9th-10th hole, wrap BG66 string around in-between, replace two new grommets. It can be strung again high tension, just duno how long will the racket last. Normally when this started, other holes on the same side or other side would follow too. All these would happen from 5th-12th count from T-joint.

oooo.....so many reasons...
but i sent it for restringing at another shop and the guy said most probably, they didn't fasten the racquet frame holder properly thats y it collapse.

Nolah, just a racket pathologist. Nobody dares let me check theirs, it could be their last seeing of the racket, hehehhee. JK JK.

If didn't fasten the racquet frame holder properly, the whole racket would just collapse/patah (worst case scenario). Tmn Megah there, she just string in no time (so many rackets to be finished, gotta rush and just pull pull pull)

Actually i wanna ask you guys how long usually your racquet last?
Seems like nowadays the racquet so ezi patah or defect.
i broke mine around 1+month ago only stringing just at 25 lbs

according to a racquet sifu who sells racquets....

all new racquets are made not to last....they are made for performance. Also, it is a known fact that yonex racquets are the easiest to break (especially when clash with other racquets) i personally have experienced that....my yonex racquet totally collapsed but my friend's pro ace still going strong....only one small scratch on his frame

Hi,

My possible session can from 7pm to 9pm Saturday. Coz 8 PM is full!!!
Will inform you guys after i booked.

Depending which brand which model, doesnt meant all of them. racket doesnt last against clashes, some model has frail material n easily breaks with light clashes while being put with high tension.

Racket doesnt collapse by itself, only due to high tensioned+mis-hit, or grab-the opportunity (Wah~char siew bao,that's my shot) on a common area where both can take the shots, this where clashes would happen due to miscomm/sync.

hahah i m joining cyclone session this sat.....excited pulak

so sorry but i cant play badminton this saturday with you guys n sunday hehe going somewhere hehe
have fun !!


so sorry to hear that your yonex broke, its true yonex break easily just like formula 1 cars build for performance but obviously they look in to safety too but more towards performance

Hi all,

session is at 7pm to 9pm
TQ

help! my friend help me to bring my racket for replacing the original string but he told the shopkeeper to push for 25lbs of tension
what should i expect from my racket when i take them?

25lbs is normal/average for decent racquets wut...

oh? i was expecting 22lbs.. afraid 25lbs is too strong

Higher tension is good to control the shuttle. Unless you're the one prefer smash more than shuttle placing skill, lower tension will be more suitable for you. However if you can get used with the smash by the higher tension string, you're getting to the way of pro Try it out man:D
