I think the stringer in the video did a loop to prevent tension lost on last string.

I need to loosen out each cross and make sure its not coiled before it tension it. sucks.

Ever try cutting the string at an angle then angle the string either up or down while trying to put it in the difficult shared hole?

my personal record is 35mins. it was slightly rushed but not overly so. repeated it on 2 occasions.

Hey Ah_Shum, how do you pre-weave both main and cross in two minutes?! Or do you simply do the main and then do the cross as you tighten them, just like in that video a few posts ago? I've tried using the string mover to free up shared grommets just like in the video, but it doesn't seem to work quite as well for me. Do you really have to put a lot of power into tugging the mains?

heyzzz..i don't realli pre-weave @ all..just for the mains the first 7 if im using a package..n crosses just string 2 lines tension 1.. =)

i dun realli believe in pre-weaving too much (especially the whole racket) cuz that can cause friction to strings n causes them to break a lil faster~..

n...i use 2 piece..cuz yonex canada here recommends u to use 2 piece or else it if the customer snaps the racket in however way they can it yonex most of the time will void 1 piece string jobs

I see. How would Yonex know whether it was a 1-piece or 2-piece string job? Usually when I break a string or a racket I'll remove the string...

cuz lotta times how ppl crack their rackets is due to collision or smacking the ground or sth~..cuz then if u cut the string the racket will fall apart lol..

Yonex USA says you have to have strings intact or else voids warranty. Then they can count the knots.

Do you pull 2 crosses at the same time with 1 pull?

That's interesting. My friend has broken his AT700 three times, and at least one time he removed the string before having the shop send it in. He's currently on his 4th one
