indeed..well he didn't go into detail much..he said he did rackets up to 14kg...wich is 30lbs btw..srry bout that... I don't knwo how good the babolat-machines support is..or hwo many lbs difference between cross and main.... another 'weird' stringer I saw had hold-down supports, the C-type...he screwed thsoe down with all his might, really muscleing the screws...he said he didn't liek the enw nanospeeds, the racketheads split between 7 and 11 O clock...creepy guy..
Aside from misgivings about it not being the most distortionless method of stringing, this system, on a 4 side suupport machine, poses no problem stringing at high tension. It is extremely economical when using bulk reels. Makes 'money' sense especially if strings are expensive.
It's been a long time since my BC ID has appeared in a stinging thread! Yes Pete LSD, only 1 knot to tie off and 1 starting knott. Left to Right, bottom to top. Works for me. Kids, don't try this at home!!! TBBMBB(N)
Dink, my startting knot is not quite a knot. more like a lump of a self knot. can come in butterfly pattern too!! Cheers
I have seen and understand these variations. But I think you are going to confuse people by saying you only make one "knot". This starting knot/hitch/butterfly "thing" should just be called a starting "knot" not to confuse people, just say you do it differently.
Just an quick update. I posted a question(post #99), and didn't get a response. Was wondering if anybody could answered it please?
Having the tie-off closer (to you main/croos tring rather) than further, minimizes string tension loss. Everything else being equal, you will not compromise frame integrity.
Can anybody give me some advice re: a stringing error?? I have just strung a Yonex Ti10 to 25lbs. However threading the last cross string i have gone over 3 main strings, and have tied the knot before realising. Is there any way i can take this last cross string out and correct my error without losing the top cross string??? Pls help
After tying the knot, it's very risky and hard to un-tie it, and re-weaving and re-tension it. All of such will be extremely hard to do with very limited length of string. Mostly, you will end up even worse of a job. Since this one is the last one, I will say simply play with it. The impact regarding performance is very minimal, and not worth all the extra work and risk. If this is for a paying customer, honest explain to him/her, and let them to make the final decision.
