you can use super glue + baking soda. put super glue into the cracks and then add baking soda inside it, and add super glue again, keep repeating until cracks are filled. very sturdy, and you can keep repeating until the racquet actually breaks.
If its just a paint chip (racket losing paint bits), there's nothing to worry about. If you can see a physical crack, this superglue technique might help!
what tension did you use after repair? My racket originally was allowed to from 24-35lbs tension. After the crack repair, what should be the allowed tension?
Hey, What is the best possible tension to keep for the patched up racket? Mine is a Muscle power tour series. Please do let me know. Cheers. Good job on the video.
I suggest removing the grommet from the crack location before starting with the superglue; when you have completed the superglued repair and it has all set and is hard you can (very carefully) drill out the grommet hole and insert a new grommet. I suggetst holding the racket in a vise while you do the drilling.
Have you tried mixing either baking soda or charcoal powder (sanding charcoal or pencil lead) to the super glue? I just learned online that this will strengthen the bond further. With baking soda it will accelerate the curing process. As for which gives a stronger bond, I don't know. It seems like it depends on the situation.
After you have applied the superglue, you can sprinkle baking powder over it which will soak up the residual superglue very quickly which means that you don't have to worry about it sticking to anything else! Also, if you remove the nearby grommets they wont get superglued in - if superglue goes in the holes you can use a small-sized drill to remake the hole 🙂
Great video dude but one question. Can I string my racket now it had a crack I followed your instructions. I have to add new strings the old string broke.
Glad you found the video helpful! Yes you can but you’ll have to be super careful as stringing places uneven stresses on the racket. It might break again or completely 😬 good luck!
Didn't know that you used to play with the OG Nanoray Z-Speed. How'd you like the racket? The orange version is way more popular in China because of it's lighter head (lower swing weight compared to the yellow version based on tests on the Yonex Precision Scan).
Hellooo, this is a last resort method really. You've ALREADY broken your racket so there should be no expectations on its lifespan after its glued. It might be OK to give the glued racket to a kid as their first racket but you cannot expect it to perform like a brand new racket. Good luckkkkk!
Yeah, give it a go!! No harm and nothing to lose anyways! Typically no balance issues with superglue ones so good luck! And yes; much lower tension, this one survived 22lbs as they could potentially crack or break again. I’ve had a few which turned out with a bulge (this one didn’t) after stringing but it doesn’t matter as it was end of life anyways. Its more extending the life of the racket for someone who needs a racket or an absolute beginner instead of a full tension repair 😬😬

I have a friend who repair rackets. He put carbon in it, and is very solid and durable. I was able to restrung a repaired racket by myself at 15kg (33lbs). I can show picture of his finished job if anyone is interested.
Good question. Most grommets are fairly tight fitting so anything in there which reduces the diameter of the hole would've made it impossible to reinsert the grommet.
It sounds like you have a steel or aluminium racket as graphite/carbon rackets would've cracked instead of being bent. You might be able to reshape it slightly 😬
Helloooo, wowwww how hard were you smashing to have broken the T joint of your racket 😂😂 well, you’ve got nothing to lose right so why not give it a go, I mean it’s not going to be like a brand new racket but no harm at this point trying 😬😬 good luck!
@@CKYew I meant paint rolling or folding on the racquet frame where the shoulder supports are. I am wondering if this particular racquet model has paint issues? Thanks.
Yes, it should not directly touch the supports. In my case, my supports are like straight poles so there is huge pressure in just one area of the racket causing paint lost. You need to get load spreaders.
@@CKYew mine is cracking along the 4 grommets on the inner area (the area where string bed are). It's unusual crack for me, as normally we see crack across the frame
Sir initially my racket had crack like yours but then it broke but it got stuck right there...now its little bend but still I am able to play with it but i am afraid it won't last longer...what should I do?
Sorry to hear about your racket but if it has broken then it might be impossible to save it anymore. But since you're able to keep playing with it then keep doing so until it is unplayble? Perhaps start looking for a new racket too along the way??
I am very doubtful this will hold, the superglue filling the crack is just not strong enough, it will likely open up again while stringing under uneven tension, and I have repaired well over a hundred broken racquets some with two breaks and they can be strung to any tension as allowed for the racquet and play almost just good!
This method is certainly a last resort attempt at making a racket playable compared to binning it immediately. It certainly won't restore it to its brand new condition so everyone's milage will vary.
@@CKYewactually I bought brand new apacs vangaurd 11 with Max tension 38lbs and I gave it for stringing at 32 lbs (ofcourse electric machine) and he returned it with crack and told that the racket didn't withstand it... So please do a video on reality about apacs racket and it's claims ... Please test my type of 38 lbs racket max tensions...

I suggetst holding the racket in a vise while you do the drilling.
How much did u apply after repairing,is it lesser than normal before or same?
The racket isn’t the same as before. It will not take as much tension as it used to.
very useful video but does it changes the weight on 1 side of the racket ?
Its negligible at this stage
Have you tried mixing either baking soda or charcoal powder (sanding charcoal or pencil lead) to the super glue? I just learned online that this will strengthen the bond further. With baking soda it will accelerate the curing process. As for which gives a stronger bond, I don't know. It seems like it depends on the situation.
Great! Now I can repair my Jetspeed 12 that has been sitting around suffering from a collapsing frame. Can finally use it.
🤣🤣 why not?? 👍👍
Superglue for the WIN!!! 🤣🤣👍 What else do you use Superglue for?
I use mine for me and my wife to have (stronger bond) between us
After you have applied the superglue, you can sprinkle baking powder over it which will soak up the residual superglue very quickly which means that you don't have to worry about it sticking to anything else! Also, if you remove the nearby grommets they wont get superglued in - if superglue goes in the holes you can use a small-sized drill to remake the hole 🙂
