JET Method or JayCee method suitable for Pure Aero

[andy2667]

Hi I am a newbie in stinging. Just bought a Stringway ML100 with a double flying clamp and two triple flying clamps for home use. Now start to learn stringing before getting my new machine in the post office.

After searching for a while, it seems that the JET or JayCee method is the way to go. I am now using Yonex Ezone DR98 (16x19) and my wife is using Pure Aero (16x19).

For a 16x19 racket, to sting the mains, the JayCee/Jet Method require skipping no7 mains and go directly to no 8 main without tensioning, then loop back to no 7 using a double pull with higher tension. To this end, the knot should be tied at no 6 main.

For the Yonex DR98, the recommended location of knot tiding is at no 6 main. Thus, this is inline with he JayCee/Jet method. However, for the Pure Aero, the recommended location for tiding the knot is no 7 main.

For the Pure Areo, if I tie the knot at no7 main, it seems that I cannot follow strictly the JayCee/JET method? Or I can tie the knot at no6? Or the Pure Aero is not suitable for JayCee/Jet method and I have to use the conventional method?

Also, my wide is using multi (Wilson NXT Control) for her Pure Aero. Will this type of sting (Multi) suitable for the JayCee/JET method?

Sorry for my dump questions. I have no experience in stringing before. Would appreciate your comments/inputs on the above.

Thanks

1 For the JET method you do not double pull any strings.

2 If the JET method is the way to go why are you having trouble with it?

3 Using a soft multi have you planned on how you will get your string through double blocked holes?

Like on your other thread. learn to string conventionally first, then once you have that down where you get consistent results then try other methods of stringing if that is what you want.
learn to string conventionally first.
Once you get the feel for stringing, dealing with blocked holes, getting familiar with your racquets string pattern, characteristics of handling the string you are using, etc. etc. then go into different stringing techniques.
BTW , for the Pure Aero, Babolat recommends the racquet be strung 2 piece, but if stringing one piece method, short side must be installed on side marked "short side" ( at 5 o'clock) , If stringing 2 piece method starting knot must be tied at 5H on side marked short side.

The main reason for skipping from 6M to 8M, then installing 7M and tying off at 6M was to get the last main closer to the tie-off hole for less tension loss on the knot. Since the Pure Aero already has you close, just go 6-7-8 and tie-off at 7. You can follow all of the tension recommendations for JET and still be OK.

Yep, yep.
Precisely what @bigmatt said.

Are you sure it does have something to do with tying off the outside main?

I learned the technique from John Elliot himself. I'm sure you know it, and that there is more to it, overall, than that. However, the tie-off/hole skip problem seemed to be the OP's question.
You can't string every racquet in line with the technique if you want to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Thanks all for the recommendations. I think I would better off starting the stringing the conventional method first. After getting some experience, will try other methods then.

Thanks

Thanks bigmatt for advising this. Even I should get start using the conventional method, I think it is no harm in asking more about other methods. May I ask one more question about the JET method using flying clamp?

For a 16X19 racket, the JET method normally require doing the 8M first then go back to 7M, then tie the knot at 6M. Using a Triple flying clamp, I think I can do the 8M after finishing the 6M by clamping 8M agains 6M. However, under this situation, if I proceed to 7M then, the triple clamp will block the way for this string (7M). How to finish the 7M? Could I just route the 7M string by touching the triple clamp? Or there are other means to finish the 7M?

Thanks

I have never used the triple clamp: my machine has fixed clamps. However, if you do it in the manner you describe, you won't be tying off on the recommended main tie-off hole.
I don't really think it matters, but it may matter to Babolat if there is a frame problem.

Thanks.

Then I think the JayCee method is suitable for using flying clamp or fixed clamp while the newer JET method is more suitable for fixed clamp.

Seems to me you could still do what amounts to a Yonex loop on the last couple mains. Switch the main tie off with the bottom cross tie off - tie off the mains at 6t, and tie off the bottom cross at 8t. No?
