Kyrigos 2nd throw - what came off?

[stapletonj]

OK, we all saw the butt cap logo insert come off the first time Nick threw his racket, (to the absolute horror of the Yonex reps in his box.).

But did anybody pay attention to the second racket throw?

Something very small bounced away and skittered off..... It looked almost white and for the life of me, I can't think if what it was...

Can't imagine there was some small foreign object just lying around on the Court, not there in those conditions. It looked almost like a part of the string grommet had broken off and was bouncing away.

anybody have any guesses?

Paint chip

Is it the Shock Absorber thing which player have on their strings ?

 

[stapletonj]

too small to be a shock absorber (that was my first thought too), paint chip seems to be most likely candidate, esp. since Yonex rackets paint chipping easily is world renowned....

anybody else got an idea?
