Does someone have a complete database of yonex badminton rackets? I just did a string job but the frame broke. It's a yonex voltric power tx. The frame gave at 24lbs. I know I had to check it in advance but I can't find any more details about this racket. It's a low end frame but still, I like to check if 24lbs is in the range of suggested tensions.
I've checked the frame. But couldn't find any indications or sticker. Nor on the shaft or handle Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A525F met Tapatalk
@kwun i've checked before mounting on the machine. I didn't notice something wrong. Grommets are in good condition. I would say it's the first restring of this racket. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A525F met Tapatalk
Can't find a lot of information about this racket, atleast it is an entry level racket at a low price point (in the yonex world). Nevertheless, as stringer it is more or less your risk to string a racket with a certain tension. So, you need to find a way to evaluate the quality of a racket and get a feeling for what string tension might be still okay. As stringer I would sugguest to only do string tension up to max depending on the racket target group, so a beginner racket should have a tension of 16-22, intermediate/advanced 22-26. If the client want a higher tension, tell him, that you would only recommend your personal max tension and if the client still persist to have it strung higher, that you don't take any warrenty if the frame is able to support this tension. It is okay, because a single broken high end racket might ruins the benefit of multiple string jobs. If you get a high-end racket which has clear signs of taking some hits from other rackets, you need to include this in your consideration. You need to inform your client, that he is taking the risk if the frame breaks, when it surpass a tension which you do not consider as safe.
I'm really suprised that it doesn't say anything regarding max tension somewhere on the cone. I thought this was standard with all Yonex rackets. Personally, I also wouldn't have hesitated to give it a 24 lbs. job. You could check the positions of the side supports to maybe find a small margin for optimization, but imo if a pretty much new modern day carbon racket breaks at 24 lbs., chances are that there simply was a flaw or defect in the carbon fibre structure. If there wasn't any signs showing through the paint, there is zero chance to recognize this as a stringer. Maybe a good chance to check with your insurance company if your third party liability insurance also covers your stringing "business". This time it was a rather cheap racket. Next time it could the a Li-Ning AXMAXFORCE 666 SUPERDUPER that will eat up a two months stringing profit to replace.
Cracked while stringing crosses. I'm on a stringway ml 100 2point support. But i've strung plenty of rackets at 24-28lbs. This never happened before. So i'm doubting the genuity of the racket. + The racket belons to an unknown player of my club. Only want to play 2 times before going back to his home country. I only learned this afterwards. So I'm starting to feel this was maybe on purpose. Alltough I can't prove it and I acted on good faith and didn't checked racket specs in advance. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-T505 met Tapatalk
