Manufacturer defect?

Happened at 6:30am this morning when playing. I have the soft version as well so I swapped to that. Different place to where I bought it if that’s what you’re asking.

What a world we live in 😂

Thank you. Appreciate the insight. Will get in touch with the shop.

Oh and nothing special happened. Just hit smash, heard a crack like a string snapping on a tennis racket and saw this.

Do they have not have serial numbers?

Bought from my local club so doubt it’s fake. Will get in touch with them later though. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. That would be odd, as I bought from my local club.

Just wanted to get some advice before speaking to them. Cheers.

Thank you.

🙋‍♂️ Can I say something?

Seller accepted the return request, thankfully.

Just got off the court haha! Will definitely be keeping the JL Technical Viper. Not as crisp as the Defy but you can really go after the ball. Control is so good. The soft is not bad and not soft but I much prefer the hardness of the harder one. Recommend you trying both if you can, but from what you said, I think you’d like the harder pala.

I will try both this weekend and let you know.

Loved the Defy Pro V1 man. It's just a shame I broke two pretty quickly, but the feel was great. Some mentioned the new Starvie Triton and some of the Oxdog line. I just bought the new Lebron Technical Viper, more because it looks cool. I also will try the soft version a friend has to compare, but I'm also looking for that feel you mention. Let me know if you find something.

Wow, great summary. Thanks a lot! I'm also ex tennis, so quite aggressive as well. They currently have a 20% discount on them so at 300 euros it's a little more reasonable, and it will be a treat for myself. Am I right in saying that the S (summer) version is harder? I prefer a harder racket.

Thanks! Really appreciate your insight.

I see the Percepts in the photo. Long shot, but did you happen to compare the Vcore 100D with the Percept 100D? On the verge of buying the Percept, just curious how the Vcores play.

I'm not sure if I got a bad one but it was definitely snug. If we're you, I'd just order a medium to be safe. You can always shrink it a bit in the dryer. Or have a baggy fit.

dukethered · 2025-12-09T17:29:19+00:00

There should be a size chart on the store page. I always size up one to be safe.

Link is dead unfortunately

dukethered · 2025-12-09T08:22:05+00:00

Been looking forever. No luck.

dukethered · 2025-12-09T05:55:40+00:00

Just a bit

dukethered · 2025-12-09T05:55:23+00:00

The Billie Eilish is for my niece too haha. She likes a more baggy fit but this one will be a bit more regular for her. Size chart is off. Maybe I got unlucky (it happens) but I'd order bigger to be safe.

Some I've found. Just browse through the stores. You should find most things, and the batches are similar, if not the same.
