Babolat Aeropro Drive GT - Frame or Paint crack

[scrookston09]

Hi,

I've noticed these hairline cracks in two of my Babolat Aeropro Drive GT rackets. I have dropped the rackets in the past but never noticed these hairline cracks until recently. Is the frame cracked or is it just the paint cracking ?

Thanks
Stuart.

It looks like paint to me. If you're not sure, just play a bit with it and check if it vibrates oddly in any way.

I think that is paint cracking. There are several other threads that you may want to look at though.
