Racket Stencil Art

Nice work Abe, very purdy indeed.

Reminds me of a rising red sun type logo

And the Aqua/Teal Blue towel grip to finish things off

I saw a piggy face on someone's racquet before... I couldn't play the game, because I was laughing so hard at their racquet, and lost.

Can that be ruled a distraction?

 

Actually I would like to know that myself, but I think it's legal, as companies can put their logos on there. Can anyone confirm that?

I wonder what else I can put on my other rackets... Maybe I'll attempt the chinese flag next... somehow =P

 

i stenciled the yonex logo onto my old Carbonex 8 SP just to see how it would look. I used acrylic paint though, so i think it won't last long.

 

Nice !!! That's exactly what I'm looking for : The Yonex stencil Card (AC 418EX)

Do you have this card or did you make it by yourself ? If you bought it, could you tell me where you get it?

I need this item for more than 6 months now ...

Thanks

 

I made the card myself. You can download the stencil from the Yonex UK website. I printed it out, cut it out, and then put onto a harder surface.

You can practice hitting the sweetspot easily with that racket! .

 

Indeed!! That's where my Nanogy string broke last time =P Trying BG80 right now.... I'm sure it will be pretty quick to break...

 

so, to get a pattern onto your strings, you need to get a piece of cardboard, then cut it out, then you place the cardboard over the racquet, and paint away?

btw, does acrylic paint damage the strings?

 

Thanks a lot !!!

Thanks to you I directly printed the card on a resistant/hard paper and I just have to cut it out right now

My friends are gonna be happy now. They will have the Yonex logo on their racquets. (It won't change their level anyway )

 

haha...well...if the logo on the strings gives them a confidence boost, maybe it does change their level of play. It's all in the head. your welcome, by the way.

 

can anyone help me out?

 

Prefer stencil ink. However, for frequent / hard hitting players, a permenant marker can do the job as well. They going to break the string long before any chemical show significant effect on strings.

 

but is acrylic paint ok to use on the strings?

 

i don't think it's a problem...though i could be wrong. one thing i have noticed is that acrylic paints come off pretty easily. (i mean it scrapes off pretty easily)

 

I have no clue personally, I just used the ink from the ink/yonex logo stencil kit that you can buy.

 

oh, can you just buy it in those yonex suppliers?

 

Brilliant! sorry i don't want to be a copy cat but that's so sweet! I'm gonna stencil that in right now! what did u use? yy red paint or what?

 

Yeah, I used the red ink from the yonex stencil kit. the one from here

although I got it from a different website at the time

As for copying, it's fine, I don't really mind haha. I'm just glad someone likes it And I'm sure someone out there in this large world of ours has probably done something like it in the past... maybe =P

 

i did a spiral on my ns9000x, looked like a lollie

 

That's an awesome idea! You should post a pic Maybe I'll try that one =P
