    Help me not mess up my first gut string job

    I super glue the ends so as not to let them unspiral and has a stiffer end point to thread between cross strings.

    Cinching my parnell knots... why do they feel so loose until I release clamps?

    Do you rock it while tensioning to pull the knot to the grommet?? If you don't, there's no chance you can tension it properly as it just cinches at the spot away from the grommet hole

    Looking for the little yellow plastic pieces for a Babolat Star 4

    I had some that wore out on my sensor, I ordered a bunch didrectly from Babolat, but.. what I was able to do while waiting for the replacement was make my own out of cowhide.. about 3/16 inch thick. I cut them into strips that matched the backing, superglued it and it's worked great.

    Wilson Baiardo

    I purchased several sensors via Craigs list.. I did searches in tennis centric cities and areas.. Atlanta, florida, LA and I found someone going out of business in LA where he had posted move than several for very reasonable prices.. so, that's a way to check as well.

    Client accused me of paint chips / scratch

    Well, that's interesting, I"ve done hundreds of yonex's and Babolats and I don't recall ever chipping any paints, perhaps I just never noticed ... IDK.

    Client accused me of paint chips / scratch

    Seems to me, to be pretty hard to scratch or chip paint during stringing. I've strung many and I don't recall ever chipping or scratching a racquet, it would have to be very noticable if you did, not the scratch or chip, just the act in itself, that you slipped and scratched. However. a player...

    Stringing advice for beginner.

    Routine it.. Always align the racquet the same way, I always put the label up - Make sure - Start your crosses.. either over or under, but make it a habit of doing it one way or the other as it will just become routines and possible problems will easily be found -Get a very fine precesion wire...

    Do many rackets require crosses to start on a specific side?

    I believe, and I could be wrong, but if the racquet has the parallel cross grommets, they all have stringing instructions to start at one side since the grommets are designed in a manner which the strings only go one way.. well you can do it the otherway, but it would look silly. So if you see...

    Settle a debate for us

    I tried to play tennis left handed, was awkward at first but then I got pretty good at it. What I found out, was that it wasn't that you couldn't do it.. play tennis lefty, it was your left arm got really tired fast. now i just switch to left handed when I need a desperate shot that I couldn't...
