what if the stringer carcked your racquet by accident... what would you do
It's happened to me before. I was pretty pissed. He was a friend, and an ATP stringer, though. His first question was 'How many times have you strung this frame?' Yeah, he had me on that one: it had been strung a TON.![]()
Yeah, but if the racquet had been strung a million times before and was ready to break, I'd say it was not the stringer's fault and he should bear no responsibility for replacing it. It's like if you got a demo racquet that had been used many times before and on the first hit, you crack the frame. Should you be responsible for replacing that demo racquet? I'd bet you'd say no.well he broke it though right? so its his fault so they should replace it shouldn't they? if a stringer broke mine, i'd fight however much i had to to get it replaced. but then again i own my own stringer so that helps alot. so if i cracked my racquet it'd be my fault, but i'd still be pretty pissed

was it a demo or his own racquet? idk, i'm just saying that because you didn't have to sign some contract or w/e saying they aren't responsible they they are responsible
That's not the point. I was using a demo racquet as an example of who bears responsibility. You cracking a well used demo racquet on the first hit is the same as the stringer cracking his well used racquet during stringing. If you don't think you should have to replace that well used demo racquet, then why do you think the stringer should have to replace his well used racquet? Both probably broke because they are well used racquets, so in the case of the demo racquet it wasn't your fault that it broke, and in the case of his racquet it wasn't the stringer's fault that it broke.was it a demo or his own racquet? idk, i'm just saying that because you didn't have to sign some contract or w/e saying they aren't responsible they they are responsible
