    Does anyone have the official pattern?

    I had mine strung at a store awhile ago and they strung it like this:

    22 Mains X 23 Crosses
    Mains skip: 11T
    Mains tie-off: 7T
    Crosses start knot: 6H
    Crosses start: 7H
    Crosses tie-off: 6T

    Is this correct or is the pattern listed on the klipper site the correct one?
    They listed like this:

    22 Mains X 22 Crosses
    Mains skip: 11T
    Mains tie-off: 6T
    Crosses start knot: 6H
    Crosses start: 7H
    Crosses tie-off: 8T

    Yeah that site is just really confusing and hard to understand. I'd rather have the pattern listed in words just like on tennis pattern sites. But from what I see, it is a 22x22 pattern and not a 22x23. So it looks like the klipper pattern might be the right one. The yonex site lists crosses to be strung from throat to head but I always prefer to string head to throat for frame safety.

    I always string bottom up and have never had problems. Up to tensions of 30 lbs.

    They do make frames to support throat to head stringing since so many stringers do take that direction especially in tennis one-piece stringjobs. There is a recent thread about this and some suggest that the feel of the frame is better if string head to throat. The only difference I can see is that the tie off knot is looser than the cross start knot.
