To determine whether the mains are at the top or the
boom of the frame, count the number of holes in the
open throat area. For 4 to 8 holes, start at the top of the
frame. For 2, 6, or 10 holes start at the throat. You must
also determine whether the racquet requires a one-piece
stringing or two piece string pattern. One-piece stringing
means that you will use one continuous piece of string
for the whole racquet. This is where 25% of the string
length will be used to string the short side (one half of
the main strings). The other 75% of the string will cover
the other half of the mains and all the crosses. DO
NOT cut the string for a one piece string job. Two-piece
stringing means that you will use two pieces, usually the
same string set (unless it is a hybrib). The string must
be cut to accommodate the appropriate length for the
mains (usually 20’). The rest of the string set will be
used the crosses.
The center of the frame supports (6 and 12 o’clock
positions) divide the racquet in half. Looking at the
racquet form the butt end, the first hole on the left would
be considered the 1st left main and the first hole on the
right would be the 1
st
right main. Thread the two ends of
the main strings through the 1
st
left main and the 1
st
right
main. Do this at the throat of the racquet.
