Wow, just had a similar "bag break" Had a gutm/polyx hybrid, Klip 16, 2018 vcore 100. Had about 60 days in. Poly felt dead so I mounted it tightly (6 point), cut out the poly and carefully restrung just the crosses. Felt really well.
Played 3 sets on a nice dry sunny day on hard courts. Everything felt fine.
Next day, gonna go play again. snapped in the bag. (looks like on outside) on outside main bending to the tie off knot, nowhere near where any cross pulls might burn the string.
Never any issues there before on prior string jobs with that racket. Did a similar job on an even older (same type) racket, has held up well these last 3 weeks.
Just speculating - could it be that no matter how careful you are, the racket flexes some during the process and this flexing pulls the mains through the grommets, sawing a little and allowing a stress break?
