Paizhuan 76 holes http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...an-76-holes-modification-guide-how-to.166701/ Still need to make the 72 hole guide.
thanks for your reply. the 2016 version is different. the older versions worked with the yonex pattern but this unfortunately doesnt
What's the matter? Seems like you never did a Babolat, right? Don't do the YY switch-back of the mains and tie-off the other mains coming from the top in the hole (is a shared hole, with a cross running thru) of the 2nd outter mains. You have just 20 mains instead of 22, this is the reason why you must tie-off at the top. If this don't answer your question please ask a bit more specific, I will try my best.
Indeed, i never did a babolat. And I start the crosses at the top? Could you give me the link to the pattern? Thanks in advance
I must correct myself it's "not a shared hole where a cross runs thru" sorry for the typo. Don't have any pattern links, just know how to deal with it because of my experience. Start the crosses at the bottom.
After the modified Haribito pattern and the crappy 2 piece pattern from Victor Internationa, Victor Taiwan released on 11-03-2016 a new pattern. It's 1 piece and also advice to do a few cross at the bottom and top with the same tension as mains. Maybe somebody can translate. Taken from Victor Taiwan Website: 72 holes: 76 holes: My goofy google translate tells me to do bottom 3 at same as mains and top 5 same as mains. Rest of the crosses with 2lbs added. Can anybody verify?
What do you guys do on Forza 96 holes, if you don't want to follow the top down pattern? I two pieced the last one, tieing off the mains at the top! Result felt great, shape was OK, I guess I just have to convince myself that 3 knots in the top of the racket is fine....
@FeatherBlaster I 2-piece the FZ's with 96 as well. Nothing wrong with. @Desmond C I recommend following: short side = 2,75m, long side the rest of the set or 2,6m short side, 6,4m long side from a reel. If you go from a reel you can be a bit shorter, but don't know the distance to your gripper on your machine or the tension.
Has anyone checked if its 3 at same as mains and top 5 same as mains. Rest of the crosses with 2lbs added. ?
With all these patterns, it would be nice if we had this in an excel with the string lengths for: 1 Piece Patterns - Short & Long Side (72 vs 76) 2 Piece Patterns - Short & Long Side (72 vs 76) Seems like the lengths is the tricky part, pulling from a reel it would be nice to be efficient, I think I can get around 22x rackets per reel
FME the distance to the gripper, the string type and the tension are factors which determine the length from the reel. IMO it's not worthy to wrench with 22 jobs to get a short and tight 23th o 24th. I like to do 2 -piece with comfort and hate starting clamp stunts to get to the gripper and do knots with a magnifier several times to save a single set. I string between 20 to 34 lbs and get compact and real oversize frames. The frame size makes also a difference. 9m is tight enough for my taste.
Like everything that goes with stringing..(one piece vs two piece, what knot to use, etc) there is no magic bullet solution. The point as a stringer is to experiment and find out the kinks and what works best for your machine and your client base. One other factor that you have to consider is the type of string that you are using too.. some stretch more (bg-65) vs others (BG-80). As i said before, there are many variables and that's what i find fascinating about stringing cause: 1) I Inherently tinker 2) I have some OCD about things.
I think going forward.. all stringing related discussions should conclude/end from the above statement. There's no counterpoint.
I use a 1 piece 2 knot pattern myself, but in practice 2 piece 4 knot patterns are much faster, and many OEM's use it like Yonex.
