    Hello dear all,


    I have some question for the pro stringer.
    Im struggling with a problem when i string my rackets. after comparing with other people(same racket and same tension) i've noticed that my racket head get longer and narrower at the top (about 2-3mm).

    As there is not support to avoid that kind of deformation on my machine, could you please help me and tell me how to prevent please?


    Thank you.

    The top of a frame tends to narrow slightly if strung top-down. It's normal.

    If your rackets are coming out too long, consider increasing the mains tension relative to the cross tension - if you are using 24/26, try 25/25.

    Ok thank you very much for your help.

    I'll try to increase main tension with less cross tension next time :)

    If you string top-down, try stringing bottom-up next time - in my experience, it tends to keep the frame shape better.

    im already stringing bottom ==> up :)

    I'll try the tension change method, i think i'll be much better. I'll also try to not tight the side support so much to see if it's better.

    Thank you for your advices :)
