Appreciate it, would maybe try restringing my AS11Pro. Didn't try LN again, as I had a bad experience using No.1 boost and it feels like a cardboard or plank every hit.
No clue, my friend is a high level badminton player so mishits + fragile frame I think. Nanoflare is known for fragile frame anyway so it's no stranger to cracks i guess.
My impression is that this frame can't be strung at more than 29 lbs, mine broke at 29 and the one in the shop at 30. Mine was brand new off the machine.
It's rated max tension 28 so yea. But tbh evenif it's strung 25-26 lbs its gonna break if you're unlucky.
It's 29 for the 3U model, and I'm not sure if it was the stringer's fault or the racquet. I wanted to see how many people broke them already. I never had a racquet break so easily, my Duoras were strung to 32 lbs (rated 26 lbs max).
Ordered yesterday in 4UG5 version. My main racket's are Thruster Ryuga OG (1) in 3U (hammer..) Racket is perfect, so much power but my elbow is going hurt. Want to check something lightly. Yesterday played with Nanoflare 800 4U and it was smooth and fast racket. Super hyped for 1000z but a little bit afraid of "fragile" frame at now..
My nf1000z has not made my elbow injury worse. In any case it might be making it better. Don't get mislead by online claims. The percentage of racquets that break is miniscule. Every person that buys a racquet doesn't go online to say if it breaks or not, only the ones that would break.
The Duora 10 and 7 were prone to sink at medium tensions, maybe you was lucky in terms of them. Seen here on BC a few. What me really wonders is that we had so many breakage reports like it is the Arcsaber FB (Fast Break).
Yes there was sinking on the inside after about a year but the racket was still usable. It is quite reasonable in my opinion, unlike breaking
Has anyone here had theirs strung at 30+ lbs successfully? 3U or 4U? I ordered a second 1000z but it's good to know where the limits of the racket lies so people can drop the tension to avoid breaking theirs.
Here's a video of me stringing the 3UG5. 29lbs. To me its a sturdy racquet when im stringing however I can't speak for the broken ones on this thread and anyone else
The ping sounds pretty low for a .63 string. I don't know how accurate the recording was but it sounds like 31 lbs tops with .68 string to me.
I find some rackets are more muted rather then resonate with a nice ring when slapping the string bed. Atleast with my current rackets BS-12 it makes everything sound dull imo. Maybe its the same as the 1000z. Only seen one being strung at 26/27 aerobiteboost 15% prestretch and it survived off the machine.
At the end each stringer threat requests different. A 31lbs request can be 29 x 31, 30 x 31, 31 x 34, 30 x 32, 31 x 31 and so on. Some stringers use PS as default, others don't use it. IMO this can be a huge influence when we look for the borderline. Beside that the speed of the stringer, the type of machine and the mounting can influence that. Also the experience of the stringer. Maybe the racket survive a flying clamp/crank job at 31, but not on ECP with base clamps and PS. It's not compareable and at the end if somebody else racket don't break at tension X, you can still be unlucky especially if the stringer don't do a Yonex pattern. Also claiming warranty at Yonex very difficult. Never heard that somebody claimed it sucessful and stringing outside the limits is simply the own risk.
Don't Yonex recommend up to 28 lbs for this racquet? Not putting fault on you, you are just doing what the customer asks.
Well it definitely can survive the stringing. Its a sturdy frame. In fact the customer ordered two. One died from clashing. Others string broke after few session.
