Learned a lot from this video. I picked up on a few tips. Thank you

[@istanford813]

I’ll do another one with crank tension head

Nice channel - I like your live tennis footage, really great up-close perspectives. I also have the neos 1000 and Wise setup and wanted to share a few things I learned from others that you might also find useful. LMK if you disagree with any of these comments, I'm always trying to refine my technique and am not the definitive truth on the topic!! 1. Looping the string around the wheel before putting it in the tensioner: I don't think this is necessary (especially at lower tensions), but does allow you to have a lighter clamp/grip setting on the tensioner which in turn does less damage to the strings. This is particularly useful when stringing with gut which can be very fragile. 2. If you are going to loop around the wheel before tensioning: per one of the other comments, I think you are better to either loop over the wheel to reduce how much deflection there is on the string bending around the frame, OR take the string under the frame if you like to loop around the wheel from underneath. You are taking the string OVER the frame, but then starting the loop UNDER the tensioner wheel - I think it would be better to go OVER FRAME--->OVER-WHEEL, or UNDER-FRAME--->UNDER-WHEEL and not mix. 3. Cross strings: you definitely should tension all of the cross strings individually and not try to tension the top 3 together. There is a really interesting experiment somewhere in tre TW forums that measures how much tension is lost due to the friction of the main strings and also the angle of the grommet (straight tension pull results in more actual tension that the racket corners where the tension is being pulled at a weird angle through the grommet). Pretty amazing that the same pull tension results in a significant actual tension difference as it is, so trying to pull 3 strings together will be nowhere close to the intended tension I dont think. 4. Cross string starting clamp: per another comment, I think the frame is protected more by using your normal clamp next to the frame and then putting the starting clamp against the neos clamp. That way nothing touches the frame and you are using the stronger hold/clamp (neos) closer to the point that the tension is being pulled from, and only using the starting clamp for some extra margin. 5. Pulling cross strings/avoiding friction/burning the mains: one great trick someone showed me when you use your off hand to move the cross strings while pulling them through is to hold the string firm at the end you are pulling from and then alternate. It is much faster because the string never back-tracks as it does if you dont hold it firm. Not sure if that makes sense but essentially the sequence is: 1) hold the string firm with your right hand, 2) use your left hand to slide all the cross strings down towards the throat (which because you are holding the short end firm, partly pulls the long end into the frame), 3) then pull the string through with your right hand, 4) repeat steps 1-3. I found this technique is definitely faster but still avoids the string friction/burn. Thanks again for the channel and taking the time to share!

Thanks for the comment. Fabulous input and advice! This is a fantastic avenue to talk about everyones stringing technique. Anyone who wants to tell us about your technique plus comment. I honestly would love to hear it. Thank you

Now that you know how to string a racket, can you string mine

[@DamianTran]

I have a neos as well... After you added the wise 2086, have you noticed your strings stay more stiff and tension is more stable versus the crank?

[@istanford813]

With the Neos the tension continues to hold your tension after you unclap the string. The LED let’s you know. So in a way it’s a peace of mind. The crank holds well too. I think as long as the string doesn’t slip I assume the tension stays.

Hello bro, this is a very good video but let me tell you that you’re making big stringing mistakes. First of all when you pull the string in the middle of the racket please let the string goes under the frame and not over. This is really important because every time you let the string goes over you’re damaging the frame.

[@istanford813]

Thanks for the input.
