    I never did it myself, but I'm wondering how "square with pre-stretched crosses" would turn out... fancy another experiment, Simon?:D My...

    Li Ning No. 1 String - Anyone using it?

    This. Oh, dear lord, THIS. String patterns are like lucky socks: they work if you think they do. Just get the string in safely, consistently,...

    Per 2022, is there any real breakthrough in racket material/design/technology?

    Heh - "Our chocolate bars being smaller means that they are cheaper to make healthier. You're welcome!"

    Yonex ALL ENGLAND Open 2022 : R/32 - Final (16-20 March)

    All this quibbling over too-high serves is moot, nowadays - the pillar-box visors take all judgement out of it. They could always add a camera...

    Victor Jet Speed 10

    To be fair, the only real issue with the Jet 10 was the frame-sinking... have the fixed that?:D (The Q was the one I called The Watermelon, if...

    Yonex ALL ENGLAND Open 2022 : R/32 - Final (16-20 March)

    No argument from me... but they bore me. Like Manchester United back when they were good... I just love to see them lose.

    Yonex ALL ENGLAND Open 2022 : R/32 - Final (16-20 March)

    Really pleased with the results this year... apart from Prince Joffrey, obviously:p. Set/Ahsan didn't win, and China got nothing:D.

    Interview with Tim Willis & Tobias Wadenka | German Open '22

    I was either lucky or good, because that never once happened to me in all my rackets. If the knot is in the right place, I've nothing against...

    Interview with Tim Willis & Tobias Wadenka | German Open '22

    Yes - tying on is now deprecated by Yonex because the anchor puts stress on the mains... but in the 1000+ rackets I strung I never once popped a...

    Wise 2086 Tensionhead Pre-stretch button for knots

    If you're curious, tie your knot, release the clamp base - not the clamp - and see how much it jumps back. In order to lose 10% (which is what...

    Wise 2086 Tensionhead Pre-stretch button for knots

    I would say it makes no difference, but if you've always done it, keep doing it. Tension loss from the string itself will far, far outweigh...

    Wise 2086 Tensionhead Pre-stretch button for knots

    Prestretch doesn't add permanent extra tension; it holds extra for a moment, but then backs off to the set tension. If you wanted to use the PS...

    Side Support Issues

    Loadspreaders introduce some play, and there is some possibility of 12/6 angle "self-adjustment" and "tower lean", depending on the machine's...

    Side Support Issues

    The extra for the crosses can be as much about compensating for "settling" of the 12/6 as for the other reasons :) I always nudged the 6 after...

    Whats the most beautiful racket that you ever used or seen?

    Z-Slash will always be my favourite, but the Hypernano 800 and Voltric Z-Force mk1 were schweeet.

    How much mounting pressure?
