Talk Tennis - View Single Post - would pulling the strings twice be better than pre stretching?

I have to agree with drakulie.
'Better'?...no.
Different?...yes.
Both will give a tighter stringbed, but for different reasons and with a different effect on the overall life of the string.
There are many techniques that will produce a tighter stringbed, such as straightening the string while you pull the cross.
'Better'?... a matter of opinion.
Consistency is still the key.
