    Thank you for some nightmares.. This needs some silly silent movie soundtrack to make it bearable :D
    Honestly, my mind couldn't finish a thought before it started a new one with more outrage.. It's a wonder he even knows how to operate a camera.

    Do you really call that ego-shooter perspective and camera movement "knows how to operate a camera"?.

    I know exactly what you mean. Every wave of anger and outrage is immediately topped by the next one.

    "Time record with a pre-strung racket? Yeah, sure." :rolleyes:
    ...
    "...and of course, it's side to side!" :confused:
    ...
    "...is he seriously double pulling the mains?" :mad:
    ...

    A video that keeps giving. :D

    Given the timing started after pre-strung, 8min something is pretty slow. I bet we can do it in the 5 min range.

    I guess so too. Especially with all the other cheating going on. Just look at how long he's fighting with the twisting string. :)

    Not timing the weaving? I beat his time by not timing the tensioning.

    You can't beat his time, for his time is fake :rolleyes:
    This video gives almost no element to have any idea how long it took him to torture this poor racket, and certainly not this lazy timer...

    More pictures in this Instagram post, I might post them here later for clarification, but maybe you'll see what happened without those. Hint: The racket was stretched so much that I didn't see it at first glance.

    edit: @s_mair is excluded, he already did his job as a counselor for me... helping me to cope with this shock. Thank you for that!

    It's one piece top down with missing outer mains (I count 20 instead of 22). The missing mains get compensated by additional cross string.

    The only thing you didn't mention it all the string on the outside of the frame. Skipping 2 holes at the bottom to tie off? Why?
    PSX_20220205_184629.jpg
    Even worse at the top.
    PSX_20220205_184711.jpg
    Also whenb switching from mains to crosses... but that part is tensioned at least.

    Good lord, this video keeps on giving.

    And my complete and utter respect for watching that little stringing splatter movie in such detail.

    Don’t be ashamed to get professional help to deal with the PTSD.

    You have only spotted one flaw. Zoom in and see if you can see the 2nd problem.

    Bottom left knot.
    He went so far away for this knot, he had to drive back to the racket.
