One piece stringing with two different tensions !!

[esrb]

The stringer screw it this time.....I always string my LM Prestige with 57/53 (M/C) two piece.
I left my stick at the pro shop (with the indications in a paper) and this guy did the job: just one piece and the different tensions !!!!
I did not noticed at the moment:
1 what should i do?
2 Will this damage the frame?
3 How will the tension perform?
4 Can i say that the tension is "average" 55 lbs?
5 Should i kill the stringer??
TIA

It doesn't make a difference one piece or two piece. The tensions won't equalize, there is enough friction to them different. It will play the same as a two piece job at 57/53. So the answers to your questions:

1) Nothing.
2) No.
3) The same as two piece 57/53.
4) No.
5) No.

good answers! haha.

I have no personal experience in this dilemma, but ambro's comment seems to be viable. However, I'm a little skeptical about how the string would have absolutely no tension transfer (between the M and C) when hitting.

 

[A.T.S.]

Next time try talking to the stringer personally and point out that you want it strung in a two piece set up.

yea...ambro is right...

there's enough friction between the grommets to maintain tension. some people actually prefer that...

now...i'd be worried if the racket was a head or yonex and it wasnt strung ATW

However, I'm a little skeptical about how the string would have absolutely no tension transfer (between the M and C) when hitting.

With string to frame friction and significant angles of string to hoop, "tension transfer" should not occur.

i agree with the posters above. Nice and concise ambro

Did you ask for two piece?

 

[xtremerunnerars]

Where are the knots tied? Your stringer may have done crosses bottom to top, which i'm assuming based on the apparent lack of knowing about two piece.

Make sure you tell him you mean two piece in the future and that stringing crosses bottom to top is dangerous in most cases.

Time to find a new stringer. HEAD recommends their racquets be strung 2 piece--any competent stringer knows that.
