We've all done it...you'll be fine. Play with it and get your moneys' worth out of the strings and time invested. You'll remember the mistake next time you string and chances are it won't happen again.
Wouldn't charge the client if it was a paid job. Your own, sure, play on, no diff. Me, I'd have to fix it because that's where I hit most of my shots, but that's a matter for the tips and techniques forum
If it was a player I strung for, it would never leave my place without me restringing it. I would be embarrassed to give a racquet out that way. Giving it out for free would not be an option, as stringers reputation has great value.
true dat. It depends on the client. Some of the guys I play with would be delighted to get a free string job. ( I am not a pro but string for family and friends only)
You could play with two identical strung Yonex's like you have pictured, one with the correct last cross, the other as you show it, and without looking to see which is which I'm willing to bet you couldn't pick the one strung with the incorrect last cross...the only thing you'd have going for you is you've got two racquets and a 50/50 shot at it.
i've played *without* the last cross string, because i miscut the cross string length, it was my only racquet, didn't have time to restring the cross before my match... occasionally an odd bounce (but arguably would have been a bad shot anyway)... but playable
Yes if they are weaved the same. More often, it seems that just a main is missed (for me) versus the entire cross being mis-weaved. Harder to detect (but not difficult of course…)
I also notice that my mis-weaves are near the end of the job, so last couple crosses or so. Logically, this makes sense also….
