    Hi guys i've just strung my racket on a new machine and wondering if its a little fat/deformed?

    26lbs main and 28lbs cross

    i think if i went 26/29 it would fix the problem... xD

    thanks guys! :D

    The rule of thumb for a strung frame is to have the same or 1 mm + an unstrung frame length.

    Do you have any issue tying the knots? Are both sides of the frame symmetrical?

    This is only my feeling that your tension is to high for a badminton racket and your string pattern is incorrect. The mains should be 1-8 miss 9 into 10.
    You seem to be 1-9 miss 10 into 11. The tension you are using I would be using in a squash racket.
    What you don't say is, the racket head wide or narrow which again gives to different string tensions.

    Thanks for that.
    String pattern on your racket is correct.
    String Tension according to the book I have is 14-16(M) 16-18(X)
