Bye Bye Badminton String

String O String, I broken u. Heart breaking....
Was playing badminton halfway and it snapped~!
No wonder my smash is like a sissy-smash :P

Here is what you do when your badminton string snapped, even itz just one string. It is important to cut it all away, YES.....every single string on the badminton racquet. If not, it will cause imbalance tension throughout the badminton frame which end up in twisted frame that will cost u a lot MORE....
Reference: Sheah Yih (Badminton pro)

This is what u do lor,

Here, you can see that it is jusssst...a string gone.


Just use a simple scissor.  Remember to say Goodbye.


And SNAPPED! You can either cut vertical or horizontal first.


Here, i choose to cut the horizontal lines. Every string you cut, you will hear a snap. It is releasing tension.
It is wise to do it as fast as you can so not to create long period of uneven tension.


Then, you just cut the remaining vertical (or horizontal line) which will also snap  when you cut it.
Although the horizontal line are cut, there are still tension within the remaining vertical lines.


Here are the bundle of removed strings. Keep it as you wish.


Finally, your badminton frame will be free of any tension and ready for restring.


Remember to check the frame for any bend or twist. If yes, let the sports equipment expert knows and he/she will fix it for you.

Thats all from me for now.
First time, cut string and emotionally painful...ouch!
Anyways, hope these help you.
If you have not cut it, do it right now!
