hehehe......... Like I said earlier, if you correct your swing, less mishits, less torque on the shaft, no more broken rackets. See, I was right all along.... Dink, need to learn to smash from overhead at the 12 O'clock position, instead at the 2 O'clock position. I think you are whipping it (vertically) at 2 O'clock position. Maybe try snapping the wrist at the 12 O'clock position.
Negative Ghost Rider. I am not built like you, I cannot swing like that nor will I try as I will most likely hurt myself. I've talked to quite a few coaches and they said there's nothing wrong with my swing, that it's fine.
Happened to me in a SF. Was not cool at all; my spare racket was crap. (The handle was bent but the grip-tape sort of kept it half together)
Just dont flex those arms when you're standing next to your coach Wow...u should look into recycling badminton racquets
Gee, looks like they don't build rackets like they use to. I rarely see broken shafts like that, you must be one serious hard hitter. Your string looks almost like brand new, did you just had it restrung?
i played with this racket less than 12 days 3 hours a day 2 days a week... i dont know why the racket broke.. i play double alot, and smash alot. unlike my at800, play with it for almost a year. I just cant believe this racket broke so easily.
If the torque is a problem, then maybe the racket head isn't heavy enough to have the inertia to negate the twisting. The heavy Ti mesh on Ti-10 is specifically designed to deal with this kind of thing. You can try something similar by sticking a bit of lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock position of the head. As you sounded to have a gorilla arm already, a little added weight shouldn't give you too much of a problem, and will save you a few rackets. Unless of course, spending money on rackets is never a concern for you. Obviously, increasing the head weight will slow defensive speed and sap endurance. The power should not be detrimentally affected as the increase in weight compensates for the lost in speed. It is feasible you will end up with a resultant surplus of dink if the energy capacity in your arm is greater than your normal energy expenditure during games. In effect the increased weight will allow you to tap into reserves that you may not normally use.
Most tennis pro shops will have it. However, I do not recommend it for badminton rackets. I've experimented with it and though it can help produce tremendous power, it completely throws off the balance of the racket.
The rubber tubing to keep the shaft from flying off and hitting someone and (maybe) to minimize vibration.
So, Dink, what's the longest lasting racket for you and what's next for BF's notorious racket killer?
I really don't know because I rotate among many rackets. I just hope I don't break any more. And I don't want to be known as a racket killer. I want to be known as the nice, gentle guy with a big heart.
