Last cross Blocked from Main knot

I imagine at this point your best bet is to forgo the last cross and just tie off to the cross above it. This under the assumption that it’s your racket and not one someone paid you to string.

Pull that main to the side and ease an awl through the path next to the knot. Then try again. Use pliers to hold the string rather than your fingers when you try to push the tapered point through. It can be done.

Possibly a Head Speed of some sort? On some of the them the top 2 and bottom 2 crosses are shared holes. As you’ve now found out really shouldn’t tie anything off on any of those shared grommets.

Path of least resistance now is probably as @loosegroove said, to leave the last cross out and tie off. It won’t hurt anything.

Next time tie the mains on the 6th main, not the 7th.

I was thinking most likely a Speed from some years ago. Don’t think it’s a Burn.

Surely the racquet can survive the typical "I play for three sets and CUT IT OUT" by all the thunder hands on here.

Then it can be done differently tomorrow.
You can play until the string breaks if you want. I would just not put tree strings in that bottom cross hole. You may even find you like it that way and you can string the racket like that from now on. I thought you were looking for a way to correct it.
