First, let me state that I am NOT trying to start a war here.
I just have a question for those who do NOT up tension on tie offs.
Is that argument that:
A. If you cinch up your knots correctly, there will be no tension loss, and therefore it is not necessary.
or
B. The outer strings rarely contact the ball, and therefore it is not necessary.
Or something else?
On a somewhat related note, on certain racquet patterns, particularly Prince and Babolat that tie for tie offs on a cross, I find there is not much room to do that arching motion Yulitle talks about. And in such cases, I find it considerably more difficult to cinch the knot up well. Anyone else experience this? Any tips for how to deal with it?
(The more racquets I string, the more I appreciate my Fischers; not only a joy to place with, but a joy to string as well -- but I digress!)
