Mounting and dismounting racket

[boo]

Hey everyone,

I've been stringing for a while now and along the way I've noticed that on a 6-pt mounting system some people will mount the racket by adjusting the 12 and 6 o'clock first, then adjust the 4 other posts (2,5,8,10 o'clock).

While some will do the opposite.

I'm thinking that to mount the racket it shouldn't affect the racket, but how do you guys mount your racket a why?

More importantly, this same concept applies for dismounting the racket...Here I think it can affect the racket's shape (the order in which you loosen the side mounts (brackets).

Do you loosen the 4 sides brackets first then the head and throat brackets? or the opposite? and why?

Thanks for your opinions and input!

Very confusing to read you may want to proof read that and change it. With my machine I use one knob to adjust the 12 and 6 o'clock supports. I use two other knobs at the same time to adjust the 2-10 and 5-8 supports. Depends on your stringing machine.

to release the racket exactly the opposite.

If I understand you corrrectly,
I adjust the 12 and 6 oclock mounts to fit the frame, being sure it is centered.
Then I draw the side supports so they support the frame loosely.(mine brings in both sides simultaneously)
Then I tighten all supports(or snug them sort of saying), so no wobble.
As to why, this was what the USRSA recommendations were, and so far there has never been an issue with mounting.The 6 point suspension mounting has always worked fine with no issues to date, and mounts very fast.
Oh. ..and for diss-mounting, I loosen up the side supports 1st,and then the 6 and 12 posts, as once in a great while(maybe 1 in a hundred), one of the side supports may be tight against the racquet to loosen, and all is necessary is to move the 6 and 12 oclock posts simultaneously away from the tighter bracket side and it frees it up.

I can't figure out how to edit my post, but you guys answered the question i had. Thanks!

That will not work for him, as you have to post a # of posts before you are allowed to edit.
