STRINGING THE FRAME
Pulling Tension
While holding the string gripper drum with
your hand, lift the tension bar to approx. 45
degree angle and let fall. If the tension bar
drops below horizontal, repeat the above
action until the bar comes to rest parallel to
the racquet. The set tension will be reached
when the bar rests horizontal.
If the bar comes to rest above horizontal,
release the string and re-pull tension.
Manually forcing the bar into the horizontal
position will greatly increase string tension
and may result in racquet damage.
Clamping the String
Clamp the tensioned string to the next adja-
cent string using the secong string clamp.
Release the tensioned string by raising the
tension arm.
Repeat the procedure for all of the remaining
main strings and tie off following the racquet
manufacturers recommendations.
Starting the Cross Strings
Follow the manufacturer's recommended
stringing pattern for one or two piece string-
ing. This will determine the starting point for
the cross strings. Weave the first two cross
strings and pull tension as per Step 3. Clamp
the cross strings as per Step 4.
