HOW TO START YOUR MAINS USING FLYING CLAMPS, NO STARTING CLAMP NEEDED, NO DOUBLE PULL - PRO STRINGER

[@123a-o5d]

Why is this method preferable to clamping at the throat, and then pulling from the head and clamping to a helper string at the head end? The butt cap pull seems like extra effort, I can't see the advantage.

Great question! One reason is that it depends on the string pattern. Racquets that have more strings going through the throat will benefit from a buttcap pull, for example. Some racquets start at the head, and some at the throat, so that too will impact where you clamp first.
