hi because my stringer dont follow the yonex stringing pattern I would like to first preweave the strings before I give her. Anything I should aware of before I start? This is my first time doing this (yeah one step closer to the stringing world ) ? Is it just to put in the strings so it looks like a finished racket?
i dont know i just give it to her and the other day she brings it to me finished. i dont see when she strings.
the other one shall be a knot, right ? problem if you preweave, not many stringer would like to string it for you because they have their own method ....
yes its a knot ive checked the stringing job and i see it does follow yonexs a little ony the knots should be fixed .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_1-RxgRtw This video (and its Part 2) shows a pre-weave - nothing too complicated. In fact, you're doing some of your stringer's work for her, so ask her for a discount.
yea i should get some discount the video is 1 piece. She strings 2 piece i think its a little different?
Has anyone ever encountered "self-twisting" string when a preweaved cross is pulled through a grommet shared with tensioned main? The cross twisted so badly that the string was torn, revealing the string fibre.
Yes, mainly when I strung 1 piece at the bottom and again at the top of the crosses. I now do 2 piece and take it easy at those places since the string is tight through those shared grommets. Some rackets are good some bad so check your grommets. I am sure someone can explain it better but yep it can be a real pain.
No problem with 3 strings in one hole is its a knot. Dont worry about that. The knots got as close to the last grommet as possible, but sometimes its a pain to find an easy grommet to access.
