I have justed started strining however all the raquets I have strung have broken soon after at the top knot that ties off the crosses, although it isn't the knot that breaks it is the string underneathe it, the up and down string. I first thought that it might be becuase I used the spike tool to wedge in the string to not loose tension when tieing off however when I stopped that they still broke, I then thought it might be because I pull the string too tight (as I used the tensioner to pull it), although the last raquet I did, I didn't use any equipment and I pulled the string just enough and the strings broke at the knot soon after. I'm not sure of the name of the knot I make, it is basically a loop around the string then I pull the string through and I make two of those.
I would appreciate any advice as at the moment I am stuck and I don't want to string another raquet just for it to break at the knot as it wastes string and my time.
