Hi everyone, I'm new here, and new to stringing. Started stringing my own rackets and some of my friends' as well. I've been trying both the 1 piece and 2 piece stringing methods, but I've found that more often than not, my racket head seems a little fatter with the 1 piece method.
I'm wondering if I need to increase the cross tension for 1 piece method, similar to 2 piece?
Most information I've seen online says that for 1 piece stringing, cross should equal mains.
The rackets I've tried on are:
Nanoray light 11i
Voltric Z-Force II
Arcsaber 2i
Silver Grey training racket
Aerotek FZ Saber Ti
Guangyu
Findings:
So far, the yonex rackets have the least deviations, ranging between 1-3mm.
(No issue with 2 piece method with +2lb on crosses for yonex)
I've done a few Aerotek ones and had around 6-8mm variation.
(This applies to both 1 piece and 2 piece methods)
Did an old *I think* was ashaway or apacs racket and that one really rounded out even with 2 piece method and +2lbs on crosses with BG65 at 23lbs for mains and 25lbs for crosses.
Strings used were mainly Yonex BG80 Power or BG65
String pattern used: Yonex 2pc stringing method, Haribito basic.
Tension ranged from 24-26lbs
Machine I'm using is a Gamma progression II ELs (6pt mounting)
Any tips or suggestions greatly appreciated!
