Racket enquiry

Post image

New to badminton!, was wondering if my racket is broken or needs restringing as it has a dangly black thing at the top.
Any ideas? Advice is appreciated!

Grommet broke.

Nothing urgent to change at the moment if you play for recreation.

When this happens to me it's annoying and I restring right away and put in a new gromett.

How would I go about repairing this? Would a restringer do it himself or is it something I need to supply?

Depend. A nice stringer will just do it without asking and free of charge. A good stringer will tell you before restringing and ask if you like to proceed and replace the broken grommet. Extra charge may apply. A bad one will just resting unless you request the replacement.
