radical tour OS zebra...dead or just suffering?

[lucieisland]

hello, my second radical zebra tower, a concern at the bridge.

a break . I don't know if it is shallow or deep.
I would have liked to string it. (either a full poly fine 1.15, kirschbaum pro line 2 at 17kg, or a s-gut 1.30mm at 22kg.)

but I have doubts about embrittlement at high voltage. I already played in full poly on a radical youtek S at 16-17kg, it was good. what do you think? trash can? or not trash?

This looks like a job for Super @teachingprotx, his racquet healing wizardry will have that sorted in no time.

I wonder if it’s just the outer Twin Tube “coating” degrading?

My philosophy is if you can stick a finger nail/a pencil in, its probably dead. However that to me doesn’t look like it’s completely broken. I’d consult somebody who has more experience with saving racquets from the trash can.

I think that’s a goner, especially with the crack being right there where the grommet is. You can probably play with it until the string breaks but it’s probably at that stage where re-stringing will stress the frame and crack it even more. I could be wrong but that’s what the stringer tells me every time I crack a frame that deeply.
