    I haven't been using the racket for a while; it's a bit worse than this now:

    for you, your reasons don't stop at 2:p I knew that long time ago...

    u know why that panda is hugging the tree branch?
    because it knows better that is the size it need to support his weight and you should also know better that is also the size of racket shaft you should be using instead :p

    Are you suggesting DinkaLot to use a tennis racket instead. :p

    DinkaLot, may I suggest you to post pics of other brands of rackets that you broke. You are not bringing justice to SOTX brand. :D :D

    I've already done that quite a few times, here's a few, can't find the other ones and/or didn't bother to take pictures:

    Hey Dink,

    Are you like me and broke more racquets than strings??

    My bad luck:
    Two breaks in the head from 1 clean hit (too tight strings?) and one mishit.
    One shattered handle (MP99 too, don't know why it happened?)
    One busted in a doubles match (I smashed my partner's backhand, another MP99)
    Slight crack in the shaft of an old Epsilon which wasn't mine after the shattered handle incident :)

    But I haven't busted a shaft like *that*....I'm working on it!

    Doubt the pros could handle Dinkalot's smash when it comes to the plastic game:cool:. Dinkie, next time you come to Vancouver, we'll be buying out our local stock of kevlars.

    Actually, I had 4-5 NS7000s. I broke two (or was it three?) of them from just hitting/mishitting the shuttle. I've broken 25-30 rackets in the last 1.5 years from non-clashing incidents, either framing the shuttle, snapping the handle or shaft.

    Oh well. :p

    I only hit plastic shuttles a few times during training defense. I've only smashed plastic shuttles a couple of times, that was fun. :D

    Yes; well sort of. I cracked/broke the cone on two, 2U Ti10s. On one, the handle was starting to crack. I believe if I continued to use it, the handle would snap. The other was just the cracked cone.

    hehe.. I've broken 4 NS8000s so far (by hitting the birdie, no clashes), but all on the frame (2 of them exactly at 12 o clock btw :confused: ).. Haven't been cracked a shaft yet... Guess I'll have to go to the gym more often :D

    ...YOU used 3u headlight models?

    really from your favorites w11 and d600, the ns7k is just 180deg. in the opposite direction...

    Twobeer: who strings them? how hard does he screw the 12 'O clock support on?
