STRman said:Dx,
It depends on what kind of stringer that you have for tensioning the first cross. Some clamps will allow you to tension the first string but if you have something like a Klippermate, you will need two crosses pulled before you can anchor the clamps. That's because the Klip vicegrips need two strings to grab onto.

Actually, a technique commonly used with flying clamps is that you can use a scrap piece of string to bridge the gap in the other teeth. This allows the clamp to have it's full clamping force (although less anchoring) to clamp off without a spare anchor string."

Have you been able to do that with Klip flying clamps? I tried it once and it just slipped no matter how tight I set the clamps. Seems like I was using poly at the time. I never tried it again.
DX_Psycho said:crap. i thought you strung all the mains and then starting knot and then finished at the bottom. well i ended up starting at the top of the frame instead of weaving the bottom cross and weaving the last main cause i thought that was only for ATW.
oh well. i ended up with 3 knots at the bottom. will this deform my racquet?
DX_Psycho said:ok then. that's how i thought it was done, but when i got my prestige, it was strung two-piece nad it had 2 knots top and 2 knots bottom.
