Kwun Delighted to oblige. Both me and Mark expect to string more BS11 and BS12 than other racket. We know there are one or two Meteor users, and possibly a few Jetspeed. We are set to go now. All paperwork is ready...I just hope we have enough string. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
First customer of the All England... and (s)he brings five Thruster 9000's. Five minutes after Paul left for the day. *sigh...
is it me or is the distance between the tensioner and the racket is quite long? Mark/Paul could you do a measurement? It seems much longer than the distance when compared to pictures of Mark's stringing machine (Pro's Pro??).
That was my first thought too ... but then i have a shuttle express with a WISE mounted a couple of inched from the table - i only need about 8-10 inches of free string on the last pull.
From the racket T-joint to the middle of the diabolo is about 10 inches. I can set mine wherever I want, of course, but I normally use 7 ish.
Hi Mark/Paul Any requests for specific stringing patterns or just string type and tension? What's been the most popular string type requested so far?
Zoidius Generally Koreans use VS850 and Chinese Taipei use VS800. Highest tensions we've strung have been 33/33. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
We strung all rackets in 2 piece bottom up. None of the players requested a specific stringing pattern. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
We included a "special instruction" field on the racket slips, but none of the used it. Also, every racket we got was already empty, so we couldn't reverse-engineer which patter(s) was used. As Paul said, 2PBU all the way. Only flair we could introduce was an extra bottom cross on the Braveswords.
Good work both, thanks for the replies. I'm interested in seeing the details of which players use what strings/tensions if you had the chance to log it all down.
