@ Patrick, the woven racket "XROSS STRIKER" in the last picture looks interesting...any idea of the full name and price?
Nothing new, I strung winex rackets and even a 15 year old level that used this "technology" ...I hated stringing them...
apacs furious series had similar string pattern. one of my friend use it. He claim the pattern somehow make the string break faster.
i strung such a racket a few month ago. to string that racket is not so difficult, only a little bit strange... but i tested the racket after stringing (with bg65 and 20lbs) and the feeling was horrible. sorry the feeling was not horrible, there was NO feeling... a friend of me tested the racket too and he said the same...
Is it just me, or is the whole "XROSS" name really stupid? "X Striker" or "Cross Striker" would make sense, but not "XROSS Striker". I mean, how are you even supposed to pronounce that? Cross-ross Striker? Ex-ross Striker? Zross Striker? It's like having a road sign saying "PED XROSSING".
I'm not 100% sure which brand came out is cross string technology first but so far as I know Tactic have gotten this patent since 10 years ago.
My Dunlop tennis racket has this zig-zag stringing pattern n it is powerful n stable racket. But the suggested stringing tension was 'reduced' in comparison to other brands. Really good n stable when receiving powerful serves.
Nope. The prototype, the middle 4 strings wind around the frame. The rest of the strings go through the frame as usual.
