There are many different versions you can try or you can figure on out yourself. You once showed your 1-piece bottom-up very clearly on a Ns9k, prehaps you can show me how you did that and I will do the same for my pattern.
OK, then nevermind. I have a theory... ...you and Jerry just like conversing with me (on this Forum) for the sake of conversing. I'm just fine with my string pattern. Rackets break for me, it's just a fact of life. I don't mind, I have four D600s on order, they will be here next week.
My string pattern is nothing special, it's basically just a standard one-piece, bottom-up, string pattern. The only modifications: 1) Main: I go from hole 9 to 11, then back to 10. 2) Crosses: I go (counting from the bottom to top) from hole 18 to 20 to 19 to 21 to 22, then tie-off. Sometimes I do 18 to 20 to 19 to 22 to 21, then tie-off. I haven't concluded which is better 22 to tie-off of 21 to tie-off, both have their merits. I go from 18 to 20 because I pre-string each racket and if 18 to 19, sometimes the string gets twisted. Going from 18 to 20, it avoids this.
I don't think there's 1 ATW pattern. IOW, there are many variations of it. The easiest is a straight box pattern. Basically, for the short side, you leave out the last main and tie off at the head. You do the long side as usual, do 1 cross at the bottom, go up via the last main and then do the crosses top-down. The common theme in ATW patterns is that you have to make sure that you wouldn't end up with 2 adjacent same-weave crosses. That is, if you have an odd # of crosses, you weave the top and bottom crosses the same. If you have an even #---as usually is the case with badminton racquets---then you weave one over and the other under (with respect to a main string). Clear as mud? Here's my pattern courtesy of my ex-pro stringer. On the short side, you lace the mains as usual, when you get to 9T, go to 10T up to 10H over to 8H, do the top two crosses and tie off. So, you end up with 1 less main (i.e., the last one). On the long side, again lace the mains as usual---I use the YY recommended pattern, so I end up at 10T---over to 9T (assuming 22 crosses) and do the bottom 3 crosses. A reminder here to make sure you count the crosses correctly or you'd end up with adjacent same-weave crosses. Anyhow, after the 3 crosses ending up at 11T on the short side, over to 12T up to 11H and do the remaining crosses going down. Tie off at 13T or further down. I usually try to find the closest possible hole. FWIW. P.S.: T: Throat. H: Head.
You're trying to tell me you didn't find any useful information in that post? Don't try to give me any more of your racket warranty claims.
LOL! In other events, I have four D600s on order and they will be here late next week (I think I already posted that). In the mean time, I got another Woven 7 to try to see if I can get used to it as I believe it's closer in specs to the D600 than the W11. But we all know how "specs" go...
wait a minute... -D600: 89, 295, 680, 8,0-8,5 -w11: 91gr, 295mm, 680mm, 8,0-8,5 -w7: 91, 295, 675, 8,5-9,0 -w10: 88, 293, 680mm, 8,0-8,5 ? you sure bout the w7? shorter and less stiff than the other 3...
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, you crack me up, is your memory going now? I did not say anything about shorter (racket length) but since you mentioned it, yes, the 7 is a tad bit shorter than the 600 and 11, as stated in your specs and yes it's definitely more flexible, as stated in your specs as well. Remember, the SOTX stiffness rating is, the higher the number, the lower the stiffness. Read post # 55, your post, non-related is # 56: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=356054&postcount=55 Regardless of specs, the 7 is definitely more flexible than the 11 and 600 in my hands.
the poitn was: if you want soemthign 'closer' to the d600. (judgign by specs) wouldn't the w-10 work better? why did you think I included the woven 10? I figured you could've drawn that conclusion...I should've been more clear: Don't you think the woven-10 is closer to the D600? (closer than the woven-7?) How's that? clear as mud?
Jerry: I typed a relatively long reply and then looked back at it and decided it was just silly (as are many of your posts). I was going to delete it but decided to submit it anyway. Guess what? My browser crashed and I lost the post; God is telling me something. Regardless, I'm done going back and forth with you. Every time I post something I have to (unnecessarily) defend and explain myself further. In addition, many times you ask questions that are many times non-sensical and you bait me with other stuff and perceived technicalities. Well, no more. Finally, to make this post back on topic: before my four D600s get here, in the interim, I had access to a Woven 7 so I took it. I did not mention nor did I have access to a Woven 10, that's why it was not mentioned. I will try the Woven 13 as well as Steve at www.ibuysports.com tells me the 13 is very similar to the 11 but stronger because of the super carbon. Anyway, I have four D600s coming soon so that's that.
well, OK...it's all good., I'll try and stop myself... I was just asking...and was curious about the d600...Because I´m still a bit ticked off I´m not getting one (Sotx couldn't deliver any d-rackets at the time I ordered ) I guess I'm a bit over-anxious at times, when it comes to badminton... *peaks at Ibuysports* they sell the D-series?
I think you've really misinterpreted Jerry. The way I read his posts he is just trying to help, and he is very eager to know everything about every racket, every string, every grip, etc. I bet if you woke him up at 6am after hard night out, he would still know every balancepoint and length of the entire SOTX line-up. He just loves to discuss equipment, like you. You don't have to defend yourself against Jerry (he's probably much smaller than you, so that would be an easy task ) But when you say you got a W-7 to compare to a D600, he's just saying that a Woven 10 might be more similair. He doesn't say you've got the wrong racket, he just found out that a W10 might be more similair to the D600. And basically, he is asking you if you agree... And don't forget, he is very, very, very jealous (and so am I, for the record) he doesn't have so much equipment to test... That's why he is asking it to you! You've probably played with more rackets this year than he will in his entire life (sort of...). Or maybe it's just us neanderthalers....
A bit off topic.. Yah, concur also...i get the same feeling(in a non-negative way) abt jerby also after experiencing the same & reading a few of his posts ..Well, another thing is, if i or anyone else look at the profiles(if it's really a true) of both jerby and to a certain extent, his buddy Erwin, i think it's normal to see both of them probably have more youthful exuberance and enthusiasms than many of us(at least myself and DinkAlot), which is kool & dandy..hehe ...i can imagine...
According to his profile, Dinkalot is only two years old. You should really learn to respect the eldery (in other words: us) dink!!
"Oops!...I did it again!" I'll say dinkalot definitely 'did it' more often than Britney Spears, for sure.
not to amke it personal...but my 'discussion' with you definatly had a point...I just wasn't able to explain it right. anyhoo, I'll try to behave..and get a point into every post starting from the next post...
