After sharing my string bed frequency data in the thread started by [MENTION=57143]visor[/MENTION] http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...Stringbed-frequency-to-monitor-string-tension I thought I could share with the community how I string badminton rackets for myself and friends. In this video I'm stringing my own racket. Comments and questions are welcome. (I'm sure you'll notice some oddities: 1. starting the mains with both fly clamps and fixed clamps 2. using loose string to thread the cross between 2 main grommets-> I don't like using awls 3. using tooth floss to help thread cross string through shared holes -> I don't like using awls) Stringing Details: Stringer: DarthHowie Machine Setup: Gamma 6004 + Wise 2086 + Chudek Side Supports + ToyoZouki Fixed Clamps (GM-02106) Wise 2086 Settings: Constant Pull & Prestretch 10% Racket: Victor Thruster K9000 (Dry Weight: 87.4g, Balance Point: 309mm) String: Ashaway Zymax 65 Tension (main x cross): 25 x 27.5 lbs Method: 2 piece 4 knot, Top Down proportional for crosses (top cross strung at 22 lbs, next 3 crosses strung at 26 lbs, all crosses after strung at 27.5 lbs). String Bed Frequency (Measured by CarlTune App): 1252 Hz [video=youtube;QScLpd4dUY0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QScLpd4dUY0[/video]
I was thinking somewhat the same but I find I get better repulsion with red string and better control with white.
Shame nothing decent comes in sky blue.... (Well, BG85, I suppose, but try finding that from over here.)
I got some BG80 to try. http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25_29_52_90&products_id=92#.VDlzhTawXWA
