I instructed my stringer to follow this string pattern for my Yonex NS300 as directed in Yonex's website. But the did not follow it (I wasn't monitoring him since I left the racket) and gave me a big disappointment. He started the Cross at B7 instead of B6. The Cross tie off he made was at A6 instead of A5. Everything else, he said, were the same as this pattern. What disadvantage will I experience with the string job he did? Will the frame of my racket be sacrificed minimally?
Having the knots closer to the first and last crosses is actually better - there's less untensioned string outside the frame. Many Victor and Li Ning rackets do this on purpose. There'll be absolutely no difference in playability or racket stress. It's win-win.
Oh ok. So that means Yonex's patterns is less effective than what my stringer did (Victor and Li Ning rackets)?
There's absolutely no difference when it comes to moving a knot one hole closer to its string. I prefer the Yonex pattern for purely obsessive-comulsiuve reasons (I don't like seeing a knot right next to a string).
I just told him why he didn't follow the pattern that I've gave him and he couldn't answer properly, lol. He just said that next time he will strictly follow it and I just agreed.
I just got my PP Precision Pro directly from Panda and he did the same stringing as what was strung in my NS300 now. So I take it that this is the correct stringing method for the Precision Pro?
Hahah I hope so, he's the one who MAKES the racket Stringing patterns will have very little impact on playability in general, unless it's a really weird pattern with missing strings or something.
