Hi BC, i have been researching on tension loss and methods to reduce it.
I am currently using a Li Ning Crank Machine and have no plans to upgrade to a wise. It feels more authentic to string using a crank machine
1. I string using the 1 piece method
2. 10% on tie offs and cross strings
3. I double pull on first 8 mains and all the crosses
4. I use fixed clamps
5. I use starting clamp to start my mains
6. I make sure the strings are neatly parallel and no crossovers
7. I make sure my clamps are not loose before each stringing job
Somehow, the tension seems to drop a lot after 1 day of usage.
Increasing the tension by 1 or 2lbs from my desired tension to compensate it seems like a good solution but it gets risky when stringing at high tensions
Is there anything more that i can do to improve my stringing?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
