So I am at my local shop today and I hear about the first IDapt fail....."somebody reverse threaded the screws in a couple of racquets and now the heads are useless".
I guess someone turned the wrench the wrong way and reverse threaded the screws? Not sure exactly how this happened, but the store clerk told me one of their employees totally messed up and made two heads worthless. Strange huh? I guess people can find a way to mess up anything, no matter how simple it sounds.
This is exactly what I had alluded to earlier.
Once one of these part-time teenagers applied a new grip for me and later another stringer who was changing the OG pointed out how wrong it was. Recently, one of them peeled off a a strip from the leather grip while taking off the old OG and the shop owner had to point out that the OG needs to be applied carefully when leather grips are underneath.
Would you trust these employees to do the job right and apply Loctite? What if they forget to do it? What kind of safety issues will arise if you had the frame high up at the net in doubles partially in front of your face and the opponent hit a hard passing shot straight at the racket?
I think Dunlop needs to create a mail-in service where you send the rackets and they send them back after getting the work done by certified technicians.
