I like the idea of bumping the centre tension up by walking the tension out when restringing the crosses. I’ve tried a couple of times pressing the strings to even out tension but it’s tough to get it even if there’s just one real dodgy string on one side. I’m also worried pressing too hard will over tension the strings. That’s one thing about the Jaycee method that puzzles me, he really stresses to avoid over tensioning but then walks the tension out. It feels to me that I have to apply a lot of force to shift tension around from string to string.
I respect whoever developed the Jaycee/JET method. Using SM I observed that, by dropping 3 or 4 lbs at #4, 5 and 6 mains, the tension across the string bed is more even. And I like how these string beds play. I do not have to measure each string length and run the spreadsheet or buy the sheet from xxxi then adjust tension about 20 times while stringing (only 6 times). Only slightly more work is needed and I feel that I achieve a very good playing string bed. Although the article made it sounds like a very elaborate process that needs A LOT of training. I feel pretty comfortable going through the process after a few rackets. Of course I can only claim that my method is inspired by Jaycee but not the real Jaycee.
At at the end, you just have to do what you feel is best. For me, unless I am rushed to finish a stick, I routinely would do Tension advisor, using the softest dynamic tension to find the main to cross tension, make quick adjustment and record on my note. Then string it. All my own playing stick gets the treatment. When I remember to ping the center mains and not liking it, then I would walk it. When I cut out the cross string to restring, I would walk it. With Kevlar, I use SM to check. With regular string I ping.
One little trick I do is that when I clamp #2 and 3 mains, I do not put the clamp right against the frame. I use Gamma progrssion DW with fixed clamp. Knowing that the small distance between the clamp and frame is not tensioned after clamped, I try to keep that distance more constant. Thus far I align the clamp to the 6-12 o'clock mount. So by leaving about equal slacked sting at #2 and #3, I effectively lower their tension and made them more equal to #1.
All strings at high tension would stretch out. That is the nature of the string. Higher the tension the quicker the creep. Either you do not raise the tension or to minimize you do it quick. Push and let go, that is it. Molecules needs time to slide pass each other, so minimize the time.
It is fun to ponder but .. no need to worry. Try it and see. If it does not work, repeat a few times, and you will learn something. What you learn from your experience is priceless. Given that you have a sound method and some ways to take measurement.
Have fun!
