The quickest I've broken a racquet was the Yonex ArcSaber 7. After buying it on its release day, I broke it on the first hit !!!! Fortunately, the dealer secured a warranty replacement for me. No such luck with this fantastically good racquet - the Yonex Duora 10. (For reasons I can't disclose, I do not have a warranty that I can claim.) :crying: Here's the link to the tragedy: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...nex-DUORA-10?p=2415131&viewfull=1#post2415131
