@ g4driver ~ thanks for the posts, however, (I hope), do you agree that the bumper and grommet cover going around the new Babalot Pure Aero is drastically different from that of Wilson, Yonex, Prince, etc, is correct? The new Pure Aero has a cover and very deep channel/groove going around the racquet, and the tensioned blocking mains very tightly conform to, and stick inside this groove, which FOR ME exacerbates the problem.I have three Pure Aeros and don't recall have the slightly problem stringing my Pure Aeros with 1.30mm Gut mains and poly crosses. I have strung my Pure Aeros with Isospeed Cream 1.28mm mains and 15g or 1.40mm Technifibre HDX Tour which is thicker than 1.30mm natural gut and had absolutely no problems stringing a fat 1.40mm multi in the crosses of a Pure Aero. The Pure Aero isn't the issue IMO. Been stringing frames about 9 years now and use the same method YULitle uses and StringSnot. Rarely need an awl except to install Babolat Grommets.
I'm just a tennis player and HOBBY stringer for only a few years who prefers to string my own racquets. Even at low tensions and with 17g Natural Gut, Poly, Multi, Syn Gut, AND all the recommendations and suggestions on this thread, if I stick a (sharp) awl in and around the blocking mains, I still can barely even create an opening for the blocked hole. What am I missing?Getting 1.30mm Natural Gut though any blocked hole on a Pure Aero is easily accomplished by an experienced stringer.
