Oh no!!! My racket cracks! Do I need to replace it since the frame remains good?
In terms of life expectancy, a tennis racket applied the two year rule for club players who play two or more times a week. For those who plays once a month and restrings every other year should not be overly concerned.
The first thing to do is restring to see if that improves playability. If it does not impress you and the new frame plays better than the older on, it just might be time for a change guys! :)
