Sorry, but no. Those are not the knots the Yonex string team uses. What was used in this video is just a double half-hitch, which is basically a beginner knot. Yonex calls for a "Parnell" or "Pro" knot. It's an old channel, but these are probably the best stringing videos on KZfaq: kzfaq.info

So good news is I can do away with the starting knot that always comes out different every time and takes longer. Releasing the base first is a new one for me so I will start doing that. Having the racket face the same way every time is also new and a good way to have a consistent starting point. I dig that. I do skip string ahead on the crosses but I did not' know why I should do it. I assumed it was for speed. I am a home stringer and thanks for these tips!

Hi, I just saw this video and I hope you can help me answer this question. This was really well done. And I see the logic in everything. However, I don't have a constant pull electronic machine. But rather a simple hand crank machine. My question is: How do I straighten my crosses if I am using a hand crank machine? Currently, and I hope this isn't blasphemy, I pull my crosses in order to straighten out my crosses. Here is my work flow: 1st pull -> hand straighten the cross as much as I can -> release -> 2nd pull to take away the slack from the straightening. Thanks! Appreciate your content! :)
@imateapot512 жыл бұрын
Since nobody answered I will. I have a crank, a wise tensioner for the crank if I want, and an overpriced electric. When I do the constant pull it is easy to straighten the crosses as it is being tensioned - with two hands. When I do the crank I straighten them after it locks out. One more reason crank will have less dynamic tension then a constant pull at the same reference tension. The USRSA take on crank vs constant pull is just account for the 5 or 10 percent difference in tension, and don't worry about it. Just straighten the crosses after lockout and again when you are done. No need to pull twice just because you have a crank, and double the time it takes to string the crosses.

@woerwaks Жыл бұрын
Awesome vid - Thanks! All of the criteria that are expected makes logical sense, except i have no idea what the benefit or precaution is regarding the point of “no starting knots”. Does this have to do with spreading the tension as evenly (or at least symmetrically) across the frame to prevent the frame warping to one side or the other? It seems to be the motivation behind the 3-4-2-2... mains point.

Buy yourself a tabletop drop-weight stringing machine. You can get one for around $300. Best investment ever, and pays for itself after 8-10 restringings-then all savings from there. I string in front of the tv with mine, or while listening to music. It’s relaxing, saves money, and I don’t have to drive to and from the tennis shop and wait for a multi day turnaround period.

The way Yonex want you to do it is what ATP guideline to string the racket. Stringers stringing inATP tour and grandslams are all using this technique else its not qualify to string for them. This is what i was told. I am a stringer too. Since then, I have been using this method to string the racket to do it so called the right technique. Of course there is many ways of doing it all depend on individuals. But most important is every racket you string has to use the same technique to maintain consistency for every racket.Thanks for the video.

Now, my question is, can i use this very exact method of stringing shown in this video only on Yonex rackets or is it applicable for every brand like Head, Wilson, ProKennex and so on. Obviously if i have 4bridges in the heart of the racket, i will begin the mains from the top, but other than that will i find always a Tie Off Hole in the near of the last string?

What do you do if the grommet hole is difficult to pass two strings in order to tie off your cross to a cross at the top and the only wide grommet is on a main in a Soft mains / stiffer crosses setup? Would you -Tie off on the main instead. - Enlarge the cross grommet - Route the string to a bottom cross to tie off? Not sure if there are any other options.

Nice threading style! Enjoying all your vids btw. US based? Been stringing on and off since woody & T2000 racket days. Back then we always strung rough side up - logo down, knots rough side. The Babolat era changed all that I think, or was it earlier? Here in Japan we have had Yamaha and Kawasaki rackets too. Mizuno still produce and Bridgestone too, until the end of this year, we hear. If you don’t mind. My questions are: 1) how often do you get a request to string ATW nowadays? 2) what percentage of customers request 2 piece vs. 1 piece Thx.my answers would be 1) less than five percent 2) 60/40 2p/1p

Keroppikun 1. About 5%. 2. Most people don’t request. They just want it strung. Since we do a lot of hybrids 2 pieces more. Probably 80/20. I love Japan. I go every year for the past 6 years. Thanks for watching.
