String spacing question

Any picture? Do you mean the string is not streight? Is it the expensive racquet which come with frame only and you need to have it strung?

 

What is the tension like? Is that part of the problem or is the physical spacing of where the string is supposed to lie?

I know when Victor sent me my racquets, one was fabulously strung, and the other had lost almost all its tension... which was strange, because it had no chips or marks on the grip to suggest it had been used before.

Regardless, if the tension is loose, I suggest you get it restrung and see if that corrects the problem.

 

Do you refer to left vs. right or top vs. bottom?

 

I think when the crosses are tensioned, friction on the mains can pull the mains sideways a little, so the mains may not be perfectly straight after stringing if the stringer does not go back and straighten them.
As long as they have got the mains going through the right holes, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

I agree that's mostly the case. The stringer might be doing bulk production, therefore, don't have time (or not willing) to straighten the mains after the job.

However, for newly strung rackets (especially if using lower tension), you will find the strings tends to shifting around quite often. Simply use your finger/nail to push the string back to the position, simple and no harm.

 

"oily" strings such as the ashaway microlegend gave me this problem even at 25lbs cross, so much so often that i had it changed after a few games.

the pushing back of the string to its original position.. wont it cause the string's outer surface to be scraped off due to friction and thus reduce its durability?

 

A picture is worth a thousand words.
