Stringing Burn 100s CV

[LaZeR]

Seriously f'n HATE stringing Burn 100s CV... "Shared holes 7T and 8T" WTF was Wilson thinking?!? https://www.wilson.com/sites/default/files/Burn 100S Countervail 2017_0.pdf

And, if you tie off at 6, that means SIX covered holes (3 on each side). I can't even get the awl in... ANY WAY TO FIX THIS??

You tied off at 7T good luck getting that bottom cross in. An ATW pattern could clear up some of your problems.

Yep. There absolutely is.
2 different solutions - one solution is for full bed (1pc.), and a completely different solution for when needing to hybrid (2pc.)

However, I don't think it's the best use of my time to go out of my way to help individuals who post things like...

No kidding, but ALL THE OTHERS are listed by Name AND String Pattern in the first column, so at first glance I missed it.

WTF are SO MANY stringer types on this forum NOW so f'n arrogant, condescending, narcissistic, & feel compelled or have a desire to come off as insulting f'n dix??

Now you sound exactly like @ esgee48 acting like a pr|ck. Lotsa y'all sound like u have a$$hole in your DNA! lol

I think Karma had a great deal with that racquet coming your way.

Awww - SO CUTE - poor, l'il, condescending, narcissist, clinging to religion & guns, feels revenge glee!

... I mean, it's a chart - not rocket surgery.

As you alluded to in an earlier post this ain't "rocket surgery" - however believe you meant to write "rocket science".

For future reference, as it applies to "helping individuals", the purpose is rather defeated when accompanied with a plethora of disparaging, insulting, snide comments & remarks.

Used an awl on one side of the grommet and one of those pointy tool things on the other side.

That is a method and I believe that pointy tool you referred to is a pathfinder awl. That’s the red and black tool that came with your Gamma. That is a way to get you string through but using an awl is a good way to nick the string and break it if you’re not careful. Forcing a pathfinder awl in a blocked grommet is a good way to break off or bend the metal portion. Were you able to get the string through 7T with the knots?

Woosh

This Ain't Rocket Surgery - TV Tropes

If it's your own racquet and you don't mind messing it up a little then that's fine. But forcing a third string into one grommet in someone else's racquet gets a big "yikes!" from me.

If you're being paid for it, at that point you need to undo the knots and start over with a fresh set of strings

String my own racquets in order to go out & play tennis coz otherwise you have to drive to a stringer, leave the racquet for days, drive back again to pick it up, pay at least $25, and most places have kids doing the stringing. THINK I've more than covered stringing costs several times over...

Tying off at 7 was a mistake coz I was initially referencing a different Burn's stringing instructions (and KLIPPER IS TOTALLY WHACK), but don't think anything was "damaged".

Were you able to get the string through 7T with the knots?

Yes sir - satisfactory job as far as I care... LOL As you may see from the pix the grommet is slightly stretched in both directions, but that's the same string bed as the original pix in the OP. PS >>> I'm also pretty sh|tty when it comes to tying knots.

Only concern right now is if &/or when a new grommet strip might be required given this is a discontinued racquet. In fact, Wilson, and most manufacturers for that matter, are no longer producing ANY 16 cross string racquets. Prince, I think, will continue with 18 cross strings.
