    How about seven hundred racquets a week? :rolleyes:

    Assuming a seven-day working week, that's 100 every day.
    Assuming a ten-hour working day, that's 10 racquets an hour.
    (By the way, no machines... just humans.)

    That's six minutes to string a racquet, isn't it?
    Six minutes ;)

    To eat crow, check this thread :p

    Is this the hole stringing time on a preweave racket then it could sound realistic. But never on a non preweaving ones.

    The most time consuming thing is the 4-6 strings that have to b introduced in an otherwise already occupied grommet by the vertical strings.

    U are good, what I need is practice. This is a hobby along with playing but I have plans for the future. We already have our own private court.

    The SS series should have a tournament for these. Keep the fans occupied. Just like the nba with the lakers girls. ;) Maybe a lucky draw to let a fan play with Hwang or Reiko. Or string for them. ;)

    I do not know if this is the normal speed by stringers here in bc. But this speed is incredible! IF i can thread this fast on the crosses, i wouldnt want to preweave:eek: I think the stringer in the video did a loop to prevent tension lost on last string.

    Just strung a Powerplay9990 at 28lbs using the above method. Clocked, 57mins.:rolleyes: Its either i go back to what i usually do, preweave, or just keep trying this method.:D Usually, including preweaving, i string the racket in average, 40mins.

    that's incredible speed. she feed through a shared hole like they are nothing. i like the technique with the string puller. so fast.

    also like the way she pulls the rest of the string. V down/across the string bed. very little damage to the surface of the string.

    When i was doing it, i experienced some trouble when feeding it through a grommet with my side support blocking it. Any idea how i can avoid that?:(

    buy a ES5Pro. notice how the side support never protrude into the inner frame area? ;)

    dang. 8min 30sec to string the cross. 6min 20 for the main. total time is less than 15mins and there are no short cut. even the main starting is done properly.

    *dream*

    To think Iv just "improved" to 50mns and I'm on my 30th racket:D. Not only the weaving takes skill but one needs to be confident enough to be sure that the weave is right on each so that u don't hv to go back checking each single weave all the time.
