My Racket broke

Try to hand carry the racket, but NOT the cargo. One of my friends work for an importer, and he told me many horrible stories about how goods broke into pieces, due to mis-handling. I know you stuffed the baddy bag with clothes, but god knows what could be next to. If a 52 inche LCD TV fall next to it, good luck.

Myself happen to travel with my gears several times, here's what I do. Use a durable luggage (prefer hard cover), sandwich the racket(s) with tons of clothes/pillow/blanket. Don't laugh, I did carry all these, to protect my rackets. This way, you provide way more cushion compare to a baddy pack with some clothese.

 

Ouch I feel sorry for you that's an expensive racquet cost's £120 or $236 in the UK. I think the cost would really put me off that racquet and i'm not sure if i'm a good enough a player to justify spending that sort of money on it.

One other thing I have noticed the Nano speed 9000 X is stated by Yonex to be strung at 27Lbs or below and quite a few people are stringing them and other racquet's well above this? I am pretty sure that isnt going to help the life of the racquet. Anyway i'm only stating what I have read and i'm new to this so maybe you guys are more in the know than me.

 

i'm right now thinking of converting violin or viola case into a racquet bag so i can take my racquet to korea next year when i graduate from highschool. It's a 14 hr flight and i don't think racquetys can last that long unless it's in a hard case.
since i have one year i have plenty of time to think about it

 

Thanks guys... letting me know Yonex's racket is so fragile....

I heard from the forum... but you guys just confirm it....

I switch to Apacs Nano Pro 9900... already.. I love the racket and I have a few crash when I'm playing double with a beginer and my racket is string at 30lbs... amazing. Woven carbon is real strong.

I don't think I will buy another Yonex racket anymore. ... . .

Have fun all....

Hi,
I used to carry about 4 to 5 rackets in carry on bag when I go outstation. Dont seem to face any custom or Immigration problem. But to put yr stuff in the big bag and send as cargoes? Wow,,,,,I cant imagine......v come out in pieces, I think.:crying: I had seen how those cargoes handlers handled those stuff. Sometimes u get flying saucers landing

Any racket can be fragile, you just need to know how to take care of them.

 

My nano 9k type x also broke just about the same area as yours. I think its the gum metal they used for the elasti ti. It is just sad how fragile it is considering it is one of their expensive model.

 

haha.. u r very good in smashing ya.. can smash until dis state.. lolz.. carlton sri blade 400 not bad.. i love dat racquet.. muahaha.. perhaps yonex's racquet is not fragile enouf but d shoes r quite good.. its comfortable

 

If you do put extra effort to protect your racket, do it. It's always better to spend more effort in advanced, then regreat later.

 

http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3265&highlight=violin I'm still wishing for one too

 

thats really unfortunate may ur ns9k rest in peace, just like to add that its a great racket, you should get another one if u that used to it and love it, i;ve had mine since august soo 7 months about and its perfectly fine, couple paints chips but yah, great racket, people out their dont be scared this racket dosent break easily, this was probably a accident.

 

Is it possibly safe to assume there were other things which were not mentioned or in other terms withheld which possibly caused the damage to the racket?

 

Yup I was able to talk to a kind yonex representative here during one of their racquet sales. He told me next time to contact him, if it is a soft clash, he may be able to help me get it covered by warranty. So with that and a 25% discount I bought nano9000x and nano7700. I am enjoying both but I really love the feel of nano9000x (now i wonder how the nano9000 s) feels like.

My point is if all yonex authorized dealers would always this supportive, the customers would feel secure in buying an expensive investments - racquets

 

Any hidden factors which you did not share which could of contributed to the breakage?

 

Your post is not in page 8 Plus, that link is not a link, it's just text in blue with an underline! =P

Well you just said you smashed... That's all. Well hmmm doubtful...

 

We simply don't know the circumstances behind his broken NS-7700. He is young and should be able to recall the events that lead up to the breaking.

 

Yes, but two NS rackets breaking, that's what I'm questioning.
