I heard that the racquet can "go dead" in a year or so if it is played frequently, because of micro cracks in the graphite due to playing. I haven't personally experienced this. What would it mean for the racquet to go dead? Stiffness would be reduced? How will it reflect on the racquet?
I have a couple of racquets that I used for something like 7-8 years, and I can't really tell if they are "dead".
