Stringing Voltric 80!

It is considered poor practice to have a long loop to a knot (the one yours has from B12 to B6 in the picture).

 

I agree with Mark. I am amazed to see such a long loop. It looks untidy. That doesn't mean your racket won't play well if the rest of the stringing is done correctly. However it gives me concern as this would suggest the pattern has not been followed correctly.

good,However it gives me concern as this would suggest the pattern has not been followed correctly. thanks

 

It's not unsafe, exactly, but the big loop will cause more and faster tension loss - remember, the loop to the knot is not under "active" (i.e. machine) tension; it's been pulled by hand.

 

Would suggest to me that the stringer has not followed the proper stringing pattern.

On a 4 knot pattern, I would have expected it to come out of B10 and tie off on B8....?????

If the rest of the stringing was done properly, you should not have any problems at all, but agree with Mark and Paul that you could risk slight tension loss with such a long loop to the tie off..... but then again, if it was tied off properly with increased tension on final pull then technically should be ok.....
