I've recently bought a Yonex Duora 10 One time, when I was playing double I accidentally hit my friend's racket, and few of the carbon is chipped off (not paint), then not long after the racket cracked, I believe that it might be the carbon might have already had a crack Inside the paint some where I can't see, and perhaps there is less carbon distribute to that area, and somehow I am being lucky to hit that part. So I decided to tear the frame and share with all of you what inside an such expansive racket........ View attachment 180054 First there are a few layers - the paint - the few layers of carbon - A foam like object During this observation - I didn't seen to be identifying any of the special material like the one yonex has advertised. View attachment 180055 The carbon is crossed View attachment 180057 Bunch of carbon being tear off...... View attachment 180058 These two picture shows the foam like object, its yellow and quite soft. I believe it is Solid Feel Core --- The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.

Otherwise this is a excellent racket, I recommended to all of you, you can go and have a try very good control medium power very fast back hand drive.. Thats it thanks for reading my reviewa Bye Bye my dear duora 10......
Look like it jz a typical Yonex issue. I had similar issue with my zspeed ......... when the string burst then the 12 o'clock position started to crack and it getting worst and worst then jz snap.
It can be used during doubles, just got to be more careful and communicate with your partner who to hit the shuttlecock.. That happened to me too to my ArcSaber 11.. But mistakes do happen so... Just need to learn the lesson and correct it.
With the high tensions some of us play with, any clash means there's a possibility of a crack which will propagate to worse. Hell, I completely cracked/warped a racket when I hit my leg while trying to do a between the leg shot lol.
