Thanks Albert. Great content as always. It’s pretty cold in Canada now so I might need to take a trip to Hawaii! I’m just a home stringer doing my own racquets but your tips are always helpful, speed but not to sacrifice quality. You look at every detail so that’s the sign of a perfectionist of your craft so really great for you to share. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Steven, Yes, you might have to join all the other Canadian snowbirds that come here around this time of year! It's funny how I need to think about what I'm actually doing sometimes since my techniques and methods have evolved over years of stringing. Even though you say you're just a home stringer, it's nice to hear how motivated you are to learn the craft of stringing! 🤙 Mele Kalikimaka and Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!!

[@TheJoeLisi]

Great Job Albert! Very helpful!! Can’t wait to see what more tips you have in the future!!

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Joseph, Thanks and I'm happy to hear this is helpful! I post content every Thursday and hope to keep going until I run out of stuff to share . . . lol 😆I'm open to content suggestions, so let me know if you have any ideas! 🤙

[@javierjimenez786]

Never thought of using the stringbed to keep tools closer... such a clever idea!! I would love if you could make a video explaining your super sleek weaving technique, and also some string handling videos... As an amateur stringer, I still sometimes get the string entangled while taking it out of the reel or set. Thanks for sharing your mastery of this art, Albert!!!

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Javier, I made a tutorial video on the Pulling Method of weaving for IART. I teach it by breaking it down into three progressions. If you're a Premium Member, you can check it out here. gssalliance.com/vimeo_videos/weaving-the-cross-strings-using-the-pulling-method/ If you're not an IART Premium Member, please check out their community of passionate racquet stringers, and what they have to offer! gssalliance.com/ As for the handling of strings, I'm posting a video next week on that topic. It's specifically tips for natural gut strings, but you can apply them to other strings too. 🤙

[@gtowsweet]

Those are great tips, I'll need to apply them to my technique. Thanks Albert Happy Holiday

[@AMstringing]

Aloha, Glad to help! This will give you some things to look forward to and practice! Mele Kalikimaka to you too!

[@ralphh5060]

Your new machine is beautiful. Great video again...i use most of these tips , but i did switch my wastebasket 😂

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Ralph, Thanks, and yes, it's a pleasure stringing every time I mount a racquet on my machine. But then again, I felt the same way when I had my Prince P7000 machine too! Stringing is like therapy for me, so it never gets OLD. And it's always nice when you can learn something NEW, even something as helpful as moving your wastebasket location! 👍 Happy Stringing!! 🤙

[@ralphh5060]

@@AMstringing it's funny you should mention the therapeutic aspect of stringing...I feel the same. Happy New Year !

[@AMstringing]

[@tactileracquetperformance]

Great tips Albert! Here I was focused on always trying to improve my weaving speed, when other little things like how I been pulling long string through the frame and repeated trips to the tool tray tying off knots have some room for speed improvements 😁 🤙

[@AMstringing]

Aloha, Thanks for watching! Yes, it's some of these small things that factor into the big picture! If you haven't seen this video, you might want to check out where I demonstrate the One-Ahead Technique, where one is more efficient than the other. Which loop are you using? 😃kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqmTYZx-rpqDq9U

[@dbk7238]

aloha albert. since you like prince racquets, im going to call you "prince albert"... thanks for the stringing tips. one thing ive noticed when i string, i spend time getting the loose end of the string that im going to weave is left dangling to the floor. my true tension machine has 4 spring clips, john balaban referred to as string-keepers, that i just slip the end of the string in so the tip is always easy to find. i'll send you a photo of it next time i get a chance. mele kalikimaka...

[@AMstringing]

Aloha DB, I guess I'll take that as a compliment! 👑🎾 The funny thing is my father's name is Arthur and my parents thought Albert would be an appropriate name for me. 🤓 I've never strung on a True Tension before but it's one machine that I would like to try some day. John Gugel in Orlando (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZqbi4ajorqIarM) has a True Tension machine and swears by it. I wish we had more time when we visited so I could have tried it then. Mele Kalikimaka & Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!

[@Javi_C]

Thanks Albert!

[@chuckgliderable]

Another great video, thank you Albert! Please can you do a video on ways to use the setting-off awl? Thanks mate! Your pulling weave technique is smoooth as silk! True expertise right there.

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Chuck, Thanks for watching and for your support! Thanks for your suggestion, I will keep the setting-off awl idea on my list for future content! I feel the Pulling Method is the easiest to learn and perfect. I made a tutorial video on the Pulling Method for IART. I teach it by breaking it down into three progressions.

[@chuckgliderable]

Your welcome mate! I had a go at the pulling method yesterday, and I have to say, I like it! It feels 'efficient' in terms of economy of movement and effort. I must practic. Pls keep the great content coming!

[@AMstringing]

@@chuckgliderable Great to hear! It will only get better and better as you practice more and I'm sure you're already looking forward to stringing your next racquet!!

[@nglfmark1]

Great tips

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Mark, Thanks for checking it out!

[@dzine808]

Great video as always Albert! What kind of pliers are those called that you used to cinch the knot?

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Jeff, Thanks for watching! The pliers are called Parallel Jaw Pliers. I talked about them in this video. Go directly to 17:50 in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfToGOrlsaWprssi=dGcP0rhTXey5jNZ3 🤙

[@adamcheung1232]

Awesome!

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Adam, Thanks for watching and I hope it helps your technique!

[@applesforakbar]

Great tips Albert, thanks as always for sharing! Question about flattening your tails so they're not so sharp - do you have any extra tips on that? Currently, I'm using a wooden dowel but I'm always worried about damaging the frame. Happy holidays!

[@AMstringing]

Aloha Akbar, You're welcome! As for your knot tail question, I addressed that topic in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIWskqqJfZuqqdEsi=ZlWVgImDHUIufj7u You can watch the video from 4:16. Mele Kalikimaka! 🎄
