I just want to know how many of you guys are using 2 knots and 4 knots. Since you have so many rackets can u also mention the model , tension and how many knots. MP90 , AT700 , Mp100 - 2 knots 28-29lbs Gosen Wpp Titan 3500 - 4 knots 29lbs cross 28lbs main. Average is still 28 to 29lbs.
man you're using 2 knots method @ 28/29lbs on an mp90? i certainly hope you're using a good stringing machine! recently i've been stringing my mp99's at 25/27 using 4 knots method
4 knots 4 knots middle 8 @ 26 main X middle 8 @ 27 cross, the rest reduce by 2 lbs, semi-proportional stringing method BG-68 Ti Victor Fung 2000
I just got given a racquet today to be restrung; it's currently strung with bg66 with 8 knots! My racquets have always been strung with 4.
8 knots are probably a couple of single or double string repairs. Does a racket srtung with one string (2 knots) loose tension quicker then a racket strung with 2 strings (4 knots)? Or does one type of stringing process loose more tension than another? I was always lead to believe that your strings decreased by aprox 2lbs after stringing.
Actually, I think he tried to string the racquet himself with a pair of pliers - the heads of all his racquets are very misshapen. One of them must have about 15knots. And for some reason they all stink to the heavens of Chicken Fried Rice (don't laugh, I'm not kidding!).

AT 700 4u 4 knots at 25 lbs tension stringing by the Yonex Shop in Megamall. Most of my rackets NOT done by the Yonex shop was around 25lbs but 2 knot.
OMG... To me, that's like on purposely damage the rackets. With the entire frame suffering from 7-8 different sections of different tension, I feel bad for the rackets. I can understand frequent re-string might be expensive for some ppl, but mess up a pricy racket could be even worse for a long run. By the way, what kinda racket this person using?
