How will the customer be able to prove anything based on the word of someone else? Especially when they're not as knowledgeable about stringing? Makes more sense for the stringer/expert to do it. I had a set of string that was 36 ft from solinco in my only string issue I've had. I sent an email and said hey it's 37 feet and they sent me a replacement. What would a customer do if I said it was short? Contact solinco and say someone else said it was shor?
it's easy
take the string and talk to the brand / retail
when strings break because of wear & tear, you'll see that they were used
have a look at your racket, the more you play, the more difficult it will be to move the crosses, and you will notice that the main strings are 'eaten up' at the place where they intersect with crosses
if all this is missing, then it was either a faulty string, or a huge mistake of the stringer, but stringing is an easy task, so among these 2 relatively small probabilities, it is more likely that the string snapped due to faulty string
Once again just whatever OP had said the first time. Stringing may be easy but what if the guy miswove, it snapped during multi prestretch (didn't even know this is a thing), clamp issue, etc?
nope, strings don't snap because of missed weave
missed weaves will allow the strings to bend more, therefore they will provide for more power & spin in the game
google spaghetti stringing and how the regulation of modern stringing became a reality
No not all. I said I know more bad stringers than good. You skipped the part where I stated this stringer could have said a string snapped. How would anyone know the difference? Easy out.
ask for the string. easy
not sure what you mean by "more bad stringers than good"
and then again, stringing is a easy task, little can go wrong there
so if you know more bad stringers than good ones, then either your expectations are wrong, or there is something massively wrong with people in that area
now, I know a 'bad' stringer, but this stringer is not bad cause of bad job, but because I never know how much time it will take to get my racket back. In some cases it was ready the next day, in some other cases it took 3 weeks. So I just ordered a stringing machine and now I string for myself.
Stringing was also the way I earned my pocket money as a junior, and I learned it by doing, without any Youtube, without any experienced stringer teaching me, etc. so it is a fairly simple task, and a highly repetitive one, where little can go wrong, otherwise I would have destroyed strings and frames while learning
