Semi-Pro
I was hitting with a Head Radical Pro 360+ last week, the racket felt nice actually with full gut bed. However it kept creaking on certain shots due to where and how i was gripping ot right at the end of the butt cap area. I have had similar issues with a Head frame (youtek prestige) in the past, not as bad but similar.
Anyway i have taken the grip off and then removed the butt cap with the hope that was the issue. However after removing the butt cap and pressing in the area where it creates the creak it is still happening with just the pallets contacting the hairpin. Now i am thinking the only way to resolve is removing the pallets which is a bit of a pain? Could it be the hairpin creaking when compressed, it seems more likely it is the pallets in contact with the hairpin? Has anyone dealt with this one before and how did they go about resolving it?
