    I recently purchased the TFK 6 months ago. I had about 20 games or so with it. I then had the frame crack at 4oclock pretty much clean right threw if you were to take the strings off.

    I was wondering if the TKF is a more fragile racket in the Victor lineups. I really loved playing with it but I just can't bring myself to spend another $240cdn on a new one to have it crack again.

    It was not a miss hit or racket clash, I was using it for a game and everything seemed normal, no frame hits. Then after the game I noticed it was oblonged. So maybe it was from smashing or the faster drives or possibly a weak point in the frame from shipping? No idea

    I've clashed my 4U and it held up. Post a picture of it. Could be stringer error? Some peeps here can help you diagnose.

    On another note, have you tried a 4U AX 88D? More power and still just as accurate as the TKF.

    I currently am using the AX88s 4U which I love a lot. I mainly play doubles and used to always play even balance. The TKF and AX88s were my first attempts at going more head heavy.

    I loved them both. I think I may like the AX88s a little more because if just feels a little more solid when using. But my TKF was a joy as well. I'll post a picture right away, I would like to think it isn't a stringing issue. It was strung at YUMO, probably the most reputable club in Canada

    Hmm that's weird. I can see them in your quote, yet you can't see them. I'll try and find another way to post them

    See it now. So no clash? But did you push off the ground with it?

    I don't believe so. I mean anything is possible but it seemed like a clean game. We were just training and playing at half intensity. No idea how it could happen. I didn't hear anything either
