Head speed pro grommet/frame question. Suspicious sunken in string into frame.

[Christian Olsson]

My stringer told me today that one of my Head speed pro looked suspicious in the most outer of the mains in the bottom part. Looks like the string has eaten a bit of the frame but not sure. Could be grommets that have given up between string and frame or what? Or is the frame on it’s way out? Raquet 1-2 years old. The other frames look normal. Has anyone had any experience of similar things?
Going to order new grommets fir all racquets anyway. I love the racquet btw

My stringer is excellent so no rookie. And bought the racquets second hand so no warranty.

I’m wondering if the previous owner use to tie off a cross at that grommet which is why it stretched and looks the way it does now. Just a guess.

Could very well be. You don’t think the frame itself have caved in a bit? Looks suspicious. Shouldn’t happen on a new frame? Since I didn’t see it unstrung I can’t tell.

The grommets on the last mains often come out at a really extreme angle. What I would do it put in a Fitex grommet and use a Flare-it it flare out the grommet. Yes, a string can cut into the frame like that.

but it’s not normal behavior on a fairly new racquet? (360+ version) I’ve never come across it in any racquet I have ever owned.
