@Sackingsfanatic,
Even if you could/can find the stringing instructions online, I wouldn't necessarily put all my faith in them being correct.
Sure...
most of the time they
probably are correct, but I've caught enough errors/mistakes over the years to be hesitant in putting too much (blind) faith in them.
The skipped holes are slightly different on the new 2023 V-Core 95.
Previous iterations/generations just had "single skips" (i.e. 8H & 8T), which is
very typical of the majority of Yonex frames.
The 2023 retains the "single skip" at the head (8H), however, it now has "double skips" at the throat (7T
& 9T).
Now, as far as the tie-off locations go...
If we are to believe that TW actually tied off in the correct locations (in their review video), then (as you had postulated) the mains indeed tie off at 8T (which would be a good thing).
It certainly appears the the top X ties off at 6H and, in the video, the bottom X is tied off at 9T (bottom cross tying off onto the penultimate cross). This isn't a super common place for a bottom X to tie off, but it wouldn't be unheard of either.
Side note: Although it is fairly common (
if/when the frame has only "single skips") for the bottom X to tie off onto the 3rd cross from the bottom (11T for 16 mains, and 12T for 18 mains), this is not a typical location when the frame has "double skips" at the same end you're tying off at.
FWIW... although there isn't a
ton of clearance to tie at 9T (the 7th main is pretty close), there's a little bit more space than if the tie-off had actually been up at 11T.
Nonetheless, an even better bet (than the TW video) is being self-reliant on how to identify the correct tie-off grommets
yourself, rather than relying on (potentially incorrect) third party information.
Hence why I made this video...
Cheers, Wes
