    Hi guys,

    just got my racket (Yoney Nanospeed Lambda) strung and ~2 months later it starts to tilt to one side.
    I checked the positions of the strings, there us a difference for both sies and I´m not sure if this might cause the issue - still a newbie.
    The racket is some years old now, maybe that´s the issue?

    The racket was strung with 10kg tension and NBG 95.
    Also attaching a picture of the racket head where I drawed some lines to show the differences.

    Some hints why the racket head might tilt are highly appreciated :)

    If you hold the shaft and spin the handle, does it spin nicely or wobble?

    Those lines seem to show curved string. Which is nothing to worry about.

    To me, it feels like the racket head wobbles a bit if I´m spinning the handle.

    My question is not about the curved strings. It´s more about the starting point of each string.
    If you check the strings on the outside which are going fron head to bottom, they are starting and ending at different height. There is a difference of one line of height. I checked with my team members and all of them are strung like I expect it - the strings on the left and the right side are starting / ending at the same height.

    The crosses are done wrong. They go from grommet #10 (counted from the T-joint) on one side into #9 on the other. And so on.
    Cut the strings and start looking for a better stringer. ;)

    Wow that's a good spot.
    The stringer has to be brain dead (or not care enough/drunk) to not to notice after the third or fourth cross.
