(By mistake, it flew out of my hand and whipped into the net post.) The strings are still fine, and I've played with the racquet a couple times since then without incident.

I used to string my Yonex Racquets very, very tightly, stringing a racquet @ 60 lbs. Will definitely not mess the frame up. Where did you crack it? Yonex is usually very good about replacing racquets, but if it's not a model in current production you may be out of luck. FYI, their RQ's tend to snap at the top of the frame when they do crack. M it cracked in the top. Not the exact top, but slighty to the side, like about an inch from the center.

It cracked on one side, and it's only about 1/4 of an inch, maybe even smaller. But it's definitely a crack, because it bulges. I e-mailed the support group in Japan and in the US, and the Japan wrote me back and told me to go through the US, and they would send an e-mail to them and tell them to get in contact with me ASAP.
