    If the racket frame getting narrower, that means the cross tension is way higher than the main. I suspect the problem can be due to multiple reason(s):

    1. Mounting
    2. Tension loss during clamping (main usually lose more tension, as cross has addtional friction)
    3. Knotting

    Also, my suggestion is, if this this the 1st time you doing stringing, use cheap racket with some junk string and go with 20lb or less. Simply jump on to $200 racket with 25lb+ tension, is just way too risky (and can be costly)
