You ever hate putting in those vibration dampeners with the soft rubber circles on each side in the strings. With my arthritis I find it hard to get those little loops between the tight strings. Well not any more I used a string puller to make those little suckers slide in there slicker than snot on a glass door knob.

Irvin said:
I have no idea. I have bad arthritis in my thumb and can't play. Stringing is getting hard too. May have to go under the knife and don't want that either. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. But my grandson loves it. I think it is more the way it looks than the way it plays though if the truth be known.

Irvin said:
Trust me on this it hurts to just open my hand because of arthritis and you're just taking the word of somebody else. The faster I move my hand or the more resistance there is the more it hurts. Just keeping my fingers loose and shaking my hand hurts. The doctor said, "Don't do that." I've taken medications for about 10 years now and nothing really helps? I can tell you from my experience the more I use my hands to do something like stringing the better it seems to be.

I would suggest you be very careful making claims as to what your tool will or will not do. Good luck with your invention.

Irvin said:
But I think it's easier on the string to weave fan tension as you're fanning the string through the mains under the high and over the low mains. Speed of stringing is the least of my concerns.

Wow! Considering your arthritis, and "the least of your concerns", that is amazing. Kudos!

Thanks that’s exactly where it hurts. My other 4 fingers on each hand are fine so the only real trouble I have is pinching the string and or when I have to use my thumb.

You really should get this then. I was diagnosed with arthritis in my thumb when being checked for a wrist/hand injury. Went through physical therapy for the wrist and thumb. The PT recommended this (no cheaper knockoffs). I can now play tennis without it but for stringing (or any thumb detail oriented task) it is a must. I'm sure your arthritis is worse than mine (since mine was discovered early and isn't too bad yet) and my thumb joint is very uncomfortable if I try and string without it. Just consider it a $100 stringing tool that can be used for tons of other stuff. Well worth it. I wear mine at least part of everyday - it prevents the joint from getting worse.

Nice @Irvin .Great time with grommets included!
I quit replacing grommet sets on Babolat racquets, as it typically is a struggle, and not worth my time and all that effort.

This was the first PD107 grommets I did. There are 9 separate pieces. The lower side strips are the same the two crystal side grommets look the same but aren’t. That one got me I started with one on the wrong side. There are two side strips that connect the crystal strips on the side to the one at 12 o’clock and all five strips connect into the bumper guard. I’m glad I did one the next one will be much easier I’m sure.

def have to focus on these
when just doing 1 racquet, its easy, no matter if I go over or under as long as i don't cross over
with #series racquets, i have pay more attention to do the same to all of them
I check often as i string to make sure I go over or under like the first racquet..

respectfully disagree mr. @jim e :)
nothing more enjoyable for a stringer than to give a "beat up", frame some TLC!!
-light water scrubbing
-new fresh grommet kit!
-new fresh strings!

When my customer came to pick up her racket (new grommets, strings, and overwrap) she thought I gave her the wrong racket. LOL I thought she acted pleasantly surprised.

EDIT: Here is what the old grommet looked like.
