Stringing the Mains
Follow the manufacturer ’s recommended
stringing pattern for one or two piece
stringing.
To determine which end of the racquet to
start installing the string count the number of
grommet holes located in the throat bridge.
If there are 2 or 6 holes start main strings
at the center 2 holes of the throat bridge. If
there are 4 or 8 holes start the main strings
at the center 2 holes of the tip.
To begin stringing the main strings, thread the two ends of the string through the two center
holes at the appropriate end of the frame and continue through the opposite center holes.
Thread one end of the string through the adjacent grommet hole and pull excess by hand.
Secure one of the strings using a string clamp.
STRINGING THE FRAME
CAUTION: NEVER TENSION A STRING WITH YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN
THE STRING AND THE STRING GUIDE AS SERIOUS INJURY COULD RE-
SULT IF YOUR FINGER IS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE STRING AND STRING
GUIDE DURING TENSIONING.
PUSH ANY BUTTON IN CASE OF EMER-
GENCY.
Pulling Tension
Remove excessive slack in the string before
applying tension. To apply tension to the main
string, wrap the string clockwise around the
String Guide to ensure that the proper tension
will be applied to the string.
Insert the string between the String Gripper
Plates and pull the string towards you at a
slight angle to the front gripper plate to help
engage the string. As tension is applied, the
Gripper Plates will engage to grip the string.
For adjustment of the parallel plates, see “Set-
ting the Gripper Plate Spacing” on page 25.
