2023 Head Gravity Pro Issue

[mashatennisbear]

I’m curious if any fellow 2023 Gravity Pro users have had this issue… After a few weeks of play, my head guard completely cracked on a brand new racket. The pro shop where I purchased replaced the whole racket, and just a week later the new one cracked too!

I’ve never seen this happen in years of playing - wondering if it’s a known issue, or perhaps it’s something in the way I play? I’m not one to throw/abuse the racket however, so this is truly bizarre after just a few weeks of use on two separate rackets!

Poor quality plastic polymer and/or too much brittling in the molding process. Lack of end-to-end QA/QC by Head; has happened before, and probably will again. If you like the Aux GP enough to keep it, you'll just have to churn through rev 1 grommets, until they release a rev 2 with proper quality plastic. Silly, but it is what it is.

Hasn’t happened to me with 3 of my GPro 23

Probably something with the batch that shop got.

Did the pro shop comment on why they replaced the whole racquet in lieu of the head guard/grommets/strings?

Just bad quality grommets. Nice that you got new racquets out of it.

Looking at the second picture there is quite some damage on the frame where the head guard is cracked. Seems you hit something hard.

I have 2 of these, (and 2 more incoming) and no quality issues untill now
