I was just stringing a Yonex RDS001 Mid with SPPP (1.18mm) in the mains @ 60 lbs - then doing the crosses with some Gosen OG Sheep Micro 16 @ 58 lbs. I strung up the mains...no problems.
As I was on about the 12th cross about to clamp it, ....SNAP!!
TWO of the SPPP mains broke(on the side I was about to clamp). I didn't think I was overdoing the tension (I like my racquets strung pretty tight but..).
I know the old "string poly 10% less" rule but I pretty much was. I usually string my mains @ 65 so I dropped it to 60.
Anyone have this happen before? The SPPP hasn't ever been in extreme heat or anything (though I do live in AZ). Anyone ever have problems stringing SPPP at around 60 lbs?
