Hi,
Last year, I had two racquet frames broken after string jobs from two different places. One, I gave it to my friend with a dropweight machine. He strung it at around a 60 lbs tension and used a one piece stringing without ATW stringing. After playing a couple days with it, the frame cracked right at the 7'oclock part of the frame (on the tie off side) where the strings overlap, resulting in an out ward bulge in the area. Would it be all my fault (i might have hit some slices into the ground) or could bad stringing have caused it?
Another time, Sports Authority strung my racquet with pro blend. Does aramid have to be strung at a reduced tension like polyester or is it tensioned like syn gut? I gave them a pretty high tension, (its pretty funny how they dont ask the tensions for both the mains and Xs) and both sides of the neck cracked. I figured that it was because of how stiff the bed was, but im not sure. Could it be bad string job here too? or user error?
