I was going to say clamp the handle; then hang a weight (5-10#) off the tip. I am assuming the racquet is unstrung. Turn the racquet over after an 1/2 or 1 hour and do the same thing. Repeat until the frame feels softer. This should start to flex the racquet so that the bond between graphite and resin start to break down.
