    Just a quick question to all those stringers out there.

    When I string, I use 2 half hitch knots in succession. This is for the 3 tie offs (2 for mains, 1 for crosses)
    I then use a knott for the start of the crosses, where I basically wind the string round twice, then go up and through the loops i have just made.

    What knotts do you use???

    I notice that on the new Yonex rackets, they use a different knot to tie off at the bottom, and no longer use a half hitch.
