Stringing a racquetball racquet

[Craig Sheppard]

I have a Klippermate that has served me well. I need to string a racquetball racquet now however, which I've never done before. I've heard you can do this fine with a regular stringer. Is there anything particular I need to know about stringing a racquetball racquet? I'm not sure if it has a fan pattern or not. If it does, do I need to do anything different?

Thanks,
Craig

Yes, they can be strung on a regular tennis stringing machine. The issue with many of these frames now is that the strings go down through the handle and around a pulley or other such mechanism. Yes, most of them have fan patterns, which you should be able to handle o.k. with flying clamps. There are some experienced racquetball stringers over on the GSS message board. I am sure you can get some help over there.
