Stringing at the sub 10-minute mark is awesome!

I think I've seen it once before.

I Hate to bursts ppl'z bubble in thinking this guy is hella fast..but his speed only comes from cutting corners~..anyone who has experience in stringing can automatically tell how harsh he cheats for speed~

That's the main point of those videos, stringing as fast as possible. Of course they're gonna cut corners! I wouldn't say cheating because the result is still a very good quality stringbed.

Yes, Panda can string a racket in 9 minutes no shortcuts, but it would not be a good string job...

...oh Panda forgot to mention the racket would be pre-woven.

So add ~7 minutes for the pre-weave/measuring string and it's 9 + 7 = 16 minutes + ~1 for the mounting/cutting strings = ~17 minutes total; no chance against these speed demons like Walter, Alan K. and Kevin Y.

Should put in your resume. Think Yonex not too happy with the AK. Dropped him from stringing at Pan American Championships.

Hi Kwun, may I know where is the video link? Thanks.

No, I meant what I said. Bottom right.

Unless for whatever reason the YouTube video player layout is different in Asia.

It took approx 5-6 hrs to string my first racket (95% of the time i was watching video & reading the instructions) Tried many technique and finally i was able to string using Victor's 76 holes technique (It is slightly complex but i will get hand of it soon)

So far strung 4-5 rackets since day before yesterday & it takes me approx to 70 Mins to string a racket.

But found vary nice tricks by watching this video which will reduce my time at least in half.
