I noticed that many professionals have the yonex logos on the string and i think it looks cool. But when i string my racket, there is no logo, how do you get the logo on the string? Is it spray painted or is it painstakingly stringed in such a way to produce that logo?
You need to get the stencil kit: http://www.badmintonalley.com/others_stringing-accessories_info_yonex-stencil-kit.php Many Yonex top end rackets has the stencil card coming with the racket now days, so you only need the ink now.
So.. wat kinda paint do u think would be the best to use? (Other than the kinda found in that kit?) You think some paints may ruin/affect the strings and do who knows wat? modelling paint possibly? NE suggestions.. ?
Completely off the point (so mods del if necc), but could you plaint a picture of a shuttle flying into the racquet, or coming out of the racquet. The rationale being to confuse the opponent! It may be against the rules, but hey, we all play socially once in a while. jl
The ink comes in tubes with a kind of brush/sponge combo so the ink does not run onto the strings and cover them. You are supposed to dab on the colour inside the spaces in the stencil. You can pick up the ink from several places but I wouldn't advise ink marker as the ink hardens and you tend to lose feel in the stringbed.
the ones that pros use, are inked. its like some kinda ink thing. kinda waxy like. dont use spray paint, might get on ur racket. dont use pernament marker, spreads every where fast. just go to local string boy and ask them to ink it for you. they might charge a dollar here or there.
According to USRSA manuals, Pilot Super Colour Markers are safe to use on strings. I've been using it for the last few months and they work just as well (as stencil inks).
what is the USRSA??? btw heres another thread that talks about stencil. in that thread i described how a sharpie marker worked out
