    You guys feel it is as fragile as the good old Flash Boost?

    I know they break more often than the Voltrics and ArcSabers, but I honestly never considered 12 kg would be an issue.

    Perhaps I should have turned the Wise's pulling speed a notch down and ditched the pre-stretch?

    Any input here appreciated!

    It's just such a flimsy frame

    The last one I saw break, it wasn't the frame but the shaft..

    ... They didn't hit something with it by any chance did they?

    Not when it snapped... But they probably had before that. :)

    Aerobite 30.5x32.5 @1460hz on my AX88s 1.5 hours after taking it out of the machine.

    Done by the Yonex stringer this time around. My first set by him I think (hazy memory) so I’m definitely looking forward to it.

    Yonex AX77 + BG66 Force 24x25lbs @1210hz

    Stringster says 23lbs... but 1210hz should be more?

    Stringster seems to read low for me. I stopped using it.

    Got 1275hz on AX77 with No.1 at 13/13kg

    Not sure if low or frame type. Maybe both.

    Have you had anything else done with 65Ti before? Interested to know how AX frames compare to other frames sound wise.

    If you have 2 88S rackets, and have it available (hell I might even buy it for you for virtue of a test), compare LN5 with 65Ti at the same tension?

    No.5 didn't end well when I tried getting it pulled up to 31x33. I'll try a pack. :-]

    66um with different pattern pinging at 1547hz right off the machine. I legitimately do not know the tension this time around.

    I currently have aerobite strings and I love them at 26lbs, i had my duora 9 strung by directbadminton when I purchased the racket from them @26lbs,
    I had my arcsaber 10 string by my club stringer @24lbs,
    I know the tension is different but my arcsaber 10 feels like the strings are so dull and they have both just been strung (only played with for 1hour max each) why is this? Does the cross string have to be different tension to the other? Or is it the 2lbs making a massive difference?

    Are your clamps too tight or something? There's no way it should break at 31x33. Something is going wrong there.

    Wasn't me who strung it (I don't strung very often or ever tbh). It was the yonex stringer and with him I pretty much have to assume both the packets were at fault. Two packets snapped (same issue with no.1 black packets :))
