He also assured me that the mains on the far left carry no tension and so wont affect the racket or the way the racket plays.
Ill probably drop the racket off some time during the weekend of i get the chance.

thanks again for the help guys.

it carries no tension? then why bother having the string? one string not too big deal, if u have 2 or 3 strings left off one side, ur racket could warp.

yeah, looks dangerous, the left side of the racquet would be weaker, so a mishit on that side might cause the racquet head to cave in ....

Now, i really wonder how "reputable" this person can be now.

The last main surely should be tensioned, especially he's using 1 piece method, which means the right most main is already tensioned. Therefore, missing 1 main result in un-even tension, which in general is a very bad thing for the racket.

Either this guy is lying to avoid responsibility (racket damage, etc) or he really knows about about stringing.
