Weaving Natural Gut and Poly Hybrids

[StringWeaver]

When stringing hybrids of natural gut and poly there is a significant risk of the poly strings damaging the more delicate (and expensive) gut, particularly when the crosses are woven and pulled. Our friends at Guts and Glory Tennis recently posted a live Facebook video demonstrating how they use the StringWeaver tool to quickly weave and pull natural gut crosses through poly mains without twisting, burning, or notching.

Note: You'll need to replace the asterisks in the link with "Guts and Glory Tennis" written as one word.

I would also add that avoiding kinks in the natural gut is critical.
