Seems ur stringer got an extra cross than the yonex string guide suggests. The last cross should be on B9 (bottom #9), and tie off @ B7. From ur pic, seems ur racket has las cross on B8, and tie off @ B5 instead.
Ahhhh does that lead to a bad thing? Or just an extra cross? =\ And heh, from what you all say.. This doesn't seem like a big problem. Maybe I'm overworrying
With the extra cross, the sweet spot might got shifted a lil bit. However, most ppl will hardly notice the difference.
I believe that's true for NS7k/8k and At800. However, for most other rackets, I think that's 7th and 8th.
Anyone know where to buy grommets in Sydney. Had been using grommets from broken rackets. While that is not a problem, like to use new ones.
In the first pic I couldn't tell if the string had come out of one grommet but was tied off on the other string.
might need to pull the side string towards the middle of the racquet to take some of the pressure off the grommet before it will go back in
In the end the string job was to blame for... I shouldn't have try a different stringer :crying::crying::crying:
I cant understand how can that stringer make such a mistake, i mean the mp99 is one of the most common rackets around! i wonder if hes done it wrong to all the other rackets he strings :/ There are many ways to check for a quality stringer, see if the top and bottom cross strings are the same tension buy just yanking it, same with the last side main strings. Check if there are any cross over strings at the top of the racket, if any exist, its baddddd
Arg you're right... I was slightly hitting the top cross and the bottom cross with the frame of my MP30 and they have a different pitch....:crying: I'll upload some pics of the strings outside of the grommets... Maybe you guys can find other mistakes By the way.. My friend told me his MP100 also has 3 knots on the bottom and one on the top.. Does that mean his strings are as screwed as mine?
1+3 = 4, means 4 knots (2 pieces) string method, nothing wrong with it. However, need to pay attentino where the knots are tied off, though.
I just had a feeling 3 knots at the bottom is wrong. But judging from the situation right now, the string job is wrong =\ Say, does the extra cross and that little grommet affect the racquet's durability? You said people hardly notice the extra cross and the shifted sweetspot but would it damage the racquet in any ways?
