My time at Wimbledon is done. I posted some photos: www.facebook.com/JamiesProStringing

1. I rarely use it. 2. It wasn't necessary on this racket.

I've been posting daily pics on my instagram if people are interested: https://www.instagram.com/jamie.pethick/

Me.

I have a Snauwaert Fibre Composite La Grande. Looks very similar to the one you have to string. I guess it could be the same pattern. I can only assume that mine is strung correctly. It is done in an 18x19 pattern. For the mains, there are no skipped holes at the top, and the 9th hole is...

I'd argue that we've both seen worse. I'm thinking of someone we've both had the misfortune of working with on several occasions...

As Paul mentioned I have emailed the lead author of the study, explaining my point as both an exercise physiologist and racket stringer. I have yet to have a reply. Obviously lowering tension is something we all know is better for the arm and is something we would recommend to players with arm...

That is, without a doubt, one of the worst looking rackets I have ever laid eyes on.

Thar paintjob looks similar to Adidas' ill-fated attempts from a few years ago.

I'm not a fan of the USB. It wasn't something I was interested in having when asked about features back in 2011. I think it's an unnecessary technological addition and an extra thing that can go wrong.

1 2 3 There you go. Had it confirmed by 3 independent tour stringers. If you want even more tour stringers to confirm this, I'm sure uk_skippy will also back me up.

Someone sensible on this board. Good (and rare) to see :) Unless there has been an absolutely seismic shift since last year, then I am right. All your maths is just hypothetical. In all of the tournaments I have strung, only a handful of players have pre-stretched poly. There is no way that...

Those are two separate statements.

He didn't say that 50% pre-stretch their poly. If you take the players who use gut, then it probably is 50%. When it comes to polyester it would probably be less than 10%.

He changes all the time. I've strung for him at tournaments where he practically changes back and forth every day!

Instead of trying to be quick, focus on being smooth and fluent, and minimising any extraneous movements.

This guy strikes me as someone who would go "up the alley".

Seeing a tournament stringer work like that annoys me. Having a video published online of his poor practice annoys me even more.

I would wrap the string around the diablo twice when pulling tension. From my experience, the Star 5 can have problems with some polys snapping on the machine on the mains. Since I have started wrapping twice around the diablo I have had no issues.

When I'm at a tournament I have a constant supply of tea.

I strung for him at Wimbledon qualifying and he was not using a Pure Strike. He was using a Pure Drive.

For reference, DT on Dustin Brown's racket was a mere 47.

Many more players are now requesting 2 piece stringing at tournaments. Not that stringing an ATW pattern is that diffcult, but doing 2 piece makes things a little easier. It's pretty much standard practice to do at least one cross off the short side before tieing off when doing a one piece...

Solinco Tour Bite. 32kg.

This is correct.

Angelique Kerber uses Pro Line II in 1.20. The Bryan brothers use Prince Beast 1.20 in their crosses.

What he was wearing at Queen's was atrocious. A true crime against tennis fashion.

He seems to be not playing with ALU Power for many years. I strung for him back in 2009 and he was using BBO then and he still is now.

Pretty sure it's ALU Fluoro.
