I use a $200 bill to wrap the crack and it works... It becomes a new racket 😎

I've played with slightly cracked racquets before, and you can't tell the difference between a cracked one and a brand new one. It only becomes an issue when the crack is so bad that the frame is no longer exactly the same shape, then it's time for a new one.

You should have done a blind test and also had a control racket of the same model. That would have made it interesting. Knowing it was cracked may have caused a pre conception

@garramiro 2 жыл бұрын

how would you propose he would do that? play blindfolded?

@grainsdor Жыл бұрын

That’s right. And I would add that patch on the other side of the racquet to balance it

I fixed these racquets to see if it was possible. If you smash your racquet on purpose, you have to buy a new one from Harry😄.

The big thing which people don't understand with repairs to a crack in the hoop is that apart from the added weight, it affect the BENDING CHARACTERISTICS of the racquet. That will change the way it plays and it usually results in an inconsistent response after the repair. Watch a slow motion video of a racquet in contact with a tennis ball - the entire racquet wobbles, bends, and vibrates at the point of contact. The bigger the repair/crack, the more you are changing the way the racquet plays.

You can't repair a cracked graphite racquet in a way that will make it play the same as the original. Period.

@@Golf0 Of course you would notice the difference if its a racquet that you're familiar with as any repair affects distribution of mass, RA etc. Have you even heard of that? You start putting additional GRP, carbon fibre cloth, resin etc in parts of the racquet and you've changed the specs and characteristics, simple as that. The only person would wouldn't notice would the sort of person who plays once a year in the garden or simply uses a tennis racquet to hit balls for their dog to chase!!

I fixed a small crack on a Babolat pure Aero with Super Glue and Baking soda. I then restrung it at 55lbs and it feels and hits the same as the other uncrack Aero I have. Seems to work on smaller cracks.

I recently learned another way to crack a racquet in the shaft, above the grip Chase down a wide serve on the deuce side at an indoor court and swing through the mesh curtain. The racquet really doesn’t like that. The wrist doesn’t either. The racquet gave first. I lost the point too

I was watching your video on the Decathlon Artengo spin pro I was wondering how does it compare to the big brands spin rackets should I buy? What would I be losing aka lacking? Because the price is two Artengo rackets for the price of one big brand… please help.. I’m looking for a spin racket

I've only cracked two graphite racquets. Both were oversized widebodies and this was in the 1990s. They just got really buzzy and I didn't even think that they could be repaired but that was the 1990s. I've used smaller racquets since then, usually 90s and 95s and those may be less prone to breaking because they are likely more dense and I usually lead them up to 13 ounces.

I used epoxy to mend a crack on my Babalot Pure Drive. It's my practice racquet. I wouldn't use it for regular match play.

i play with broken rackets and you dont notice anything, 1,5 grams extra weight.. a fly weights more.. i have a video on my channel showing parts of the process. All depends on how you repair, the technice.

You should take a look at carbon fiber bike repair. It's possible, but I don't think it's cost effective to do it properly for a tennis racket. To do it properly you have to cut out the section and replace it with an identical carbon layup to what was originally there.

I am curious. How much would those couple of repairs individually cost? A normal Joe blow does not have the necessary materials & tools to fix a racquet. And, the cost of the fix by a repair person probably outweighs the repair. Last year, I saw 4 cracked racquets in the garbage or left on the court. They were cracked or smashed by the owner due to tempers. The owner's took out their lack of game on the racquets and punished the equipment. I don't get it! The other thing is, people smash balls or racquets into the net or fence enclosure. Take my advice, don't do it! One guy brutalized a tennis ball which hit me between the back of my shoulders. He was not without punishment. We have not played on the same court in about 7 months.
