Here's a video suggestion for you Harry - string 3 or 4 racquets at the same tension & string for Coach Gu, using different stringing methods (e.g. 2 piece, around the world, sergetti etc.), and see if Gu can tell the difference and which one he liked the best.
This is great! Always love your videos and wish there was a shop like yours in my country so bad 😍😍 We can't even buy over grips or strings lol so quite often we try not to play too hard in case the strings snap 😅
This is awesome Harry. It could even be better for the racket and evenness of tension as your last 4 tensions pulls are on each side of a square. You should name this the HarryTS method.
I saw another guy do it but i really like it! Your graphics, lighting, sound and personality are better. Thanks for the hack. I will try it on my ProStaff 6.1 N Code 90 16x19 on the future.
What I usually do, if mains come out bottom is not called atw I believe, but something with pattern v2 I guess. Just finish short side and make knot. Long side skip last main, so you get out on top and then start weaving crosses depending on your string pattern (even crosses = start odd = cross 1 or if odd numbers of crosses = start even = 2). That's the only thing I have to remember. Then weaving all crosses, followed by the last long side main (and in case of odd crosses, the first cross). Works for me and its quite simple. The other patterns aren't intuitive resp. Easy to remember for me XD
Good video. The pattern is very close to the UKRSA ATW method that I (and a lot of others this side of the Atlantic) use. The only difference is we hold the second to last short side main with a starting clamp (instead of tying it off at the top), then string the crosses with, leaving 1-2 unstrung crosses at the bottom. The remainder of the long side goes back up to finish the last long side main and the single unstrung cross at the top, before getting tied off at the top. The short side is released from the starting clamp, and finishes the last main on that side, as well as the 1-2 crosses at the bottom of the head, before getting tied off there. But if I'm stuck without a starting clamp I'd probably copy what you did in this video.
Tried that on an older babolat pure drive team Harry, no way could I get through a hole at the top 1-6 grommets to tie off the short side, so It was back to a clamp on the outer!🥴 Remember it for the later ones though!👏👏
It reminds me of the way André's racquets were strung, but with different strings, because the outside string was a different colour, wasn't It? Would be great if you could explain how Agassi's racquets were strung!! Grat vídeo once again!!
Interesting pattern. The last two mains on the short side were subject to additional 10% pull as you tied off top and bottom. Wouldn’t this cause an imbalance ?
My mains always end up being 30% more than the reference tension once I am done with crosses. If your desired tension on mains is 55, wouldn’t you set your reference on mains at around 42? I do two piece btw.
Will there be a procedural difference between 16x18, versus 16x19, with your method? This video is for 16x18, right? What if your mains are designed to end at the top of the racquet?
I personally string the around the world differently so I'm not too sure if Harry's process would be different depending on the pattern. If the mains end at the top of the racquet then there is no need for the around the world. The purpose of the around the world is to prevent stringing the crosses from the bottom up.
The USRSA says tie off the short side after all the mains. On the long side while on top with the second to last main, start the crosses. If the racquet has an even number of crosses start weaving at the top cross and if an odd number start at the second. This is so the last cross ends on the long side. Then weave the last long side main and tie off if no crosses to do or weave the first cross and tie off. No starting clamp required also.
Hi! Thank you for your vídeos. I might have a topic for another video. I do not have pain problems on my arm but I chose multifilament string because I am playing once a week and I want something that can hold tension for long and I also like the sensation of the confort. Now I have my prostaff V13 with full bed of Tecnifibre Triax at 25kg tension. I allways hear on your videos that what makes spin possible is that the string can move and I observed that now my strings have big dents so the strings are kind of sitting there and very restricted on movement. Is that going to kill the spin potencial? Are multifilament strings good mantaining tension but poor keeping spin once those dents apear? I would love to hear from you a recomentation for a string with my needs ( some confort, some spin and keeping those propierties for long). Saludos desde España!
By leaving the top cross and both final mains empty it did not mater which side the final cross ended up on (19 vs 20). Many ATWs you have to string the crosses out of synch and it is easy to mess up the weaves or have the final cross come out the wrong side. Of course why not just do two pieces these days.
great string job. one day I was putting the crosses in and doubled back to the hole i just strung(in the hitting area) and ended up with 2 crosses per hole, and wonder how would this play??? but didn't finish the racket that way but for sure wondered about it
Hey harry why not do the same thing only 2 piece. Just tie off after u do the 14 mains then start the crosses with a new piece of string . Do all the crosses and tie again after the around the world.
@@brianchia cheers broski, i wasnt sure if i needed to measure 8 mains. Also my racket string job needs to start from the top because of the 4 grommets in the throat. This configuration will force my crosses to start from the bottom, which I want to avoid. Any advice on how to get around this? Actually now that I think about, maybe leave the last 2 mains on each side instead of 1?
@@nugget6292 finish your short side. String 7 mains on long side, if its 19 crosses, string crosses from 2nd. If 20 crosses, string crosses from 1st. String crosses top to bottom as usual. For 19 crosses, finish the last cross and then string up the last main and return to 1st cross. For 20 crosses, just string the last main and youre done
It's interesting but you have a problem there . Actually you have two 😂😂. You realize that you have 10% on the last two mains on the same side. That imo will deform the frame (bend it more) on your short side. To make it really effective i think you should add 10% also on the opposite mains just to have the perfect balance on the frame, doesn't matter if you don't have any knot there😉
Your way is not symmetrical. Yes your way works but you have a main that's a knot and one that's pull tension. If you look at ukrsa atw or how Richard Parnell do it. The main at tension and first cross and last cross are knots. If I'm the player for sure I won't able to tell the difference. When you do it two pieces it's symmetrical, last mains knots, first and last crosses knots. Around the world can be done many many ways, but to have symmetrical only two ways. One from Mr. Nolan or one demonstrate by Mr Parnell
using two knots limits tension loss, easier on the frame and if you are using a reel you can save almost 2 feet per string job which may not seem like a lot but you could gain one extra string job potentially as well over the course of using the reel.
When you string one ahead do not pull the string all the way through as that causes you to have to find the end and that takes a second. You are wasting time.
If it was better for the racket the companies wouldn't string in one piece. Also if you string like this bloke is you invalidate the warranty so if you send a broken racket back to the company they won't change it. I've been a stringer for over 40 years and a video like this is pointless.
Your first sentence doesn't make sense. Rackets can handle one piece and two piece perfectly fine. And as long as you string evenly the mains to have the forces evenly built up there is no issue. Your point about warrantee is total bs. This around the world stringing method is widely used, not invented by tennisspin and doesn't have any warrantee issues. I'm an aerospace engineer with experience in composite structures and there is no reason this method would be bad for the racket, so warrantee wise, if companies would make an issue, they are scamming you out of your rights
@@LarzB Having run tennis shops and sent rackets back for customers which haven't been strung at the manufacturer says it does matter and how man y rackets have you returned to companies.
@@davidglover9210 in what country do you work? All proper rackets are not strung from the factory. Rackets (the real cheap or junior versions excluded) are strung by the retailer, not the manufacturer. You claim warrantee when there is something wrong with the racket that with normal use would not occur. Stringing is with the method around the world is normal use and will not break or damage your racket. If it does, then there is a flaw in the racket that is valid for warrantee.

Love these stringing videos
nice. i am going to try this method
nice, but would not 2-piece be easier ? and have same good tension ?
I only use double half-hitch knot in thick strings. What do you think about other knots like the Parnell knot? are they necessary?
I saw another guy do it but i really like it! Your graphics, lighting, sound and personality are better.

Interesting pattern. The last two mains on the short side were subject to additional 10% pull as you tied off top and bottom. Wouldn’t this cause an imbalance ?
Can you do a video on box pattern? And also discuss the pros/cons of box pattern?
My mains always end up being 30% more than the reference tension once I am done with crosses. If your desired tension on mains is 55, wouldn’t you set your reference on mains at around 42? I do two piece btw.
Not so sure it’s ideal to have two main strings being tied off on the same side of the racquet but an interesting spin on an ATW pattern.

If your mains are coming out top, then just finish short side + knot and also finish other side, followed by starting on first cross.
Can't be done with an old crank machine or can it? Starting clamps?
Does It result in any difference in final bed tension with other methods ?
This is very similar to UK RSA ATW. But with theirs you need the starting clamp. Really nice job!

How do we know if buying a string machine is worth it?
Can you do the Lendl stringing method?
Doesn’t W up just wear out the knot grommets unevenly?
Off topic, but do you know of any tennis backpacks that are lined in white? All my stuff 'disappears ' in my dark-lined bag.

Easier than the original ATW

How does this truly around the world method work with 2 piece stringing?
The double half hitch is a terrible tie off.
so what's the real advantage of STRINGING AROUND THE WORLD ?
Prevents stringing the crosses from the throat up, a general rule of thumb is to always string the crosses from the top down.
I think it is about only having two knots while still being able to start the crosses from the top and not needing a starting clam.
why not just cut the string and have 4 knots? is this better for tension? what's bad about using starting clamps?
Every knot loses tension and stresses the grommets.
using two knots limits tension loss, easier on the frame and if you are using a reel you can save almost 2 feet per string job which may not seem like a lot but you could gain one extra string job potentially as well over the course of using the reel.
Buy a racquet with 8 mains at the throat.
When you string one ahead do not pull the string all the way through as that causes you to have to find the end and that takes a second. You are wasting time.
Only thing that stinks is u have to measure it out like u are doing a one piece.

Nobody cares
