I strung my first Hyper Hammer 4.3 yesterday. I had to us a pathfinder awl on the crosses. Is there a better way to string the crosses?

I use a flashlight pointing from the outside of the hoop toward the center of the racket and bend over to eye level to see the light shinning thru to direct me to the grommet hole.
I know exactly what you're talking about. This is the frame with rubber grommets for the crosses. It can be at times very difficult to get a string through. There is no easy answer besides moving your client into a new frame!
It's because the HH4.3 has powerholes, which means the grommets are recessed within a cutout. They are annoying to string. It's easily solved by having a well lit room, and getting eye level with the grommet (as they can kind of "lean" to one side of the hole.LMAO!!! I bet that helps. You are about the first stringer I ever heard of that needed directions to a grommet hole.

I don't think they were rubber, just recessed.
I may be getting the series wrong, but if it was a 4.3, it was blue, and Wilson had one that wasn't in the powerholes series, but had a rubber set of grommets. I will see if I can find pictures.
maybe a triad? I can't think of any rubber holed wilson frames off the top of my head...

Definitely not a triad, I can see it in my head! lighter blue and grey, i am thinking of an oversize. the grommets on the sides were very rubbery and pulled out a lot. come to think, the whole grommet set was in many pieces. come on people, think!
Hyper hammer 4.0. Rubber grommets. Awful to thread from the inside of the frame, but easy on the outside. Hope this helps.
It's a silly tip but often helps. Slice the string diagonally. Kinda like threading thread through a needle; the thinner the tip, the easier
