How do I cut enough string from a reel for two piece with no measurement?

Yonex do not advocate 1 piece/2 knot stringing, and voids any warranty on the racquet.

 

But they used to.

 

And lets face it, how the hell do you make a warranty claim once the racquet has been used........and chipped, hit by others, dropped etc. etc.
Yonex are terrible and just refuse to pay out or exchange whatever! and make a whole lot of excuses to go with it.

 

The majority of Warranry claims get accepted here.

 

No here, and they are so slow too.

 

They're accepted here, especially through the retailer because I assume he's used to handling them.

A one piece string job is starting from the middle like a regular stringjob, but you have much more string on one side so you can continue onto the crosses with that string, instead of tying a knot. When you are done with the crosses, you tie the string. That is how you end with two knots: one side of the mains is tied as usual, and the other side ends where the cross strings end.

 

How tall are you?

For me - 5'11" -

mains = three spans plus a forearm,
crosses = three spans minus an arm.

 

for me i will take 7.5 the racket length for mains and 6.5 for cross

 

For me as well !

 

I use arm spans aswell, it's probably the quickest and easiest method I have found as you are pulling the string out with your arms already. You will get a feel for how much you need after you do a few depending on tension and type of racket but If you start with
mains 3 spans and 1arm
crosses 3 spans
at 5'8" that will be enough easy. eyeball excess you have beyond the tensioner clamp and cut the length down appropriately next time.

 

Never trust your friend again.

You want to pull it 2-3 times for better results.

 

With regards to pulling with crank machine, it seems to me that if you pull slowly once before it trips, you mimic the string stretching of a constant pull electronic machine rather than just pulling it 2-3 times quickly, where the string is not really being stretched enough. What do you guys think?

 

Pulling slowly once does not mimic constant pull.

Also, pulling 2-3 times does not imply pulling quickly, all pulls should be slow/slow-ish for better results.

 

Or do the dog poo bag on the porch trick. Luckily, I have no friends trying to tell me how to string

 

i am 5'11" . i do one piece string and measure 6 spans. with two span mark the top center. 2 spans cover half main and bottom two cross, rest 4 spans cover another half main and rest of crosses. still waste 3 to 4 feet string.

 

Why do you like wasting so much string
