I love this stringer!

Do you think there is a reason she has two strings tied off there. I mean did she have to splice your strings - six knots?

Yeah, this is almost guaranteed to be a bridge, or a "hacked on" last cross (or three)

I think she may have ran out of string to reach the proper tie off grommet.

And tied a DHH? I doubt it.

Rule of thumb, the closer the tie off from the last exit, the better.

In this case its pretty far from the last main. 2 knots on the same string doesn't make much sense and the second to the last main is right there and big enough for cross tie off. Did she give an reason why she did it this way? This looks pretty bad IMO.

I've seen this many times actually. I've even seen a starting knot on a finishing knot

Well then if you follow thr rules you wouldn't be tying off two grommets farther down the racket.

From Microgel onwards, Head have made it super-easy by actually writing 'Tie-off Main' and 'Tie-off Cross' on the frame, along with the dots to tell you which grommets are for mains.

I never understood why other Manufacturers have not made this a standard as well. Makes it easier to string and easier to check for someone that just gives their racket to someone else for stringing. Also it should be in the Manufacturers interest to have people use the right tie-off grommets

i pretty sure prince dose the same for there frame

The knot will probably hold up, but let her know you found it. If she doesn't offer up something like a refund or free restringing, I would suggest going somewhere else next time.

Hope for your sake (and the frame and strings) she didn't have to use an awl to make room for all 3 strings I can just hear the popping and cracking.....ouch.
