hello HI ,I mean sock like the pair you use every day ,you put the racket in the sock I find some in toronto last year ,usualy made in Japan or asia!! can't find it in europa,thinks ,MING
Do you mean those towel sleeves that you just put over the handle? If yes, then they are no good as they do not give you enough friction because they are too loose.
yes My friends here are looking for them,they can change easily,I prefer the thin grip yonex you buy by 3 in a pack!MING
imo, most stringers do it as labor of love. If one do the math, the stringing labor is far less than minimum wages, and that including their own work space, their own work equipment, their own utility bills (electricity, property tax, etc).
A my dad got a 6-point drop weight. together with yy-fly clamps. and soem other kit.... i do it in 40 minutes. and it feel smore confident: -a: shops aroudn here ask 20 euro's right now it costs me 4 at most... -b: shops tend to do it wrong around here -c: i make a nice bit of money. fun savings..my next racket will be bought wiht my stringing money (i charge 13 euro's...less for friends) -d: it's quicker for me. no waiting three days for somebody. -e: i can experiment with strings/tensions
you do including string and grommets and job?? it take one hour for me,I did around 50 for the moment , MING
well i'm not replacing all the grommets, just the really bad ones. I'm still not the fastest i've ever seen..but i'm satisfied. IMO anything within the hour is good. when i started it took me 2 hours. stringing every main, and every cross. tripple checkign the weave-work, and weaving slow.
my answer is C...always go to a shop. I have no idea how to string rackets nor am interested in learning the fine art of stringing.
I string in my living room. Though I store the machine on a bookshelf in my study. The most dangerous part is moving the machine to the living room. If I ever drop that ton of metal on my feet, I can forget about playing badminton ever again. I had the machine for 6 months, it has paid for all my 200m reels of strings and it won't be long before the machine will pay for itself too. The best part is the most valuable: the machine gave me the ability to find my optimum string and tension for free, and transformed me from a beginner to a competent club league player. Those I play with benefit too, as I observe their play and gradually tune their string/tension whenever it is time for them to restring.
My coach strings by hand, so he strings for those who ask. $20 CAN a pop, $10 if you bring him string, $3 for repairs. Because he strings by hand, he's able to get a much higher tension, as well as more balanced tension.
OK, now this is a completely untrue statement. You cannot string by hand and get a higher and more balanced tension. My stringing machine can string to 102lbs., you're telling me a person can do that accurately by hand at a much higher tension and be more balanced, unpossible!
Could your string a badminton raquet at 102lbs without breaking it?? Sure, your stringing machine can string up to 102lbs, but you would never do it. Because he uses his hands, he can feel the balance of the strings, allowing him to produce more balanced strings. I've never had a strong-job done by machine as well-done as my coach.
Well, while we're picking out typos, I may as well point out that nothing is as unpossible as it seems.
