Weaving the Cross Strings

Weave the cross strings over and under the main strings being careful to alternate the weave 
direction of each consecutive cross string so as to be opposite of the previously installed 
cross string.
Once the fi nal cross string is tensioned and clamped, tie off at the appropriate hole specifi ed 
by the racquet manufacturer. Remove the frame from the mounting system by loosening the 
shoulder supports and frame supports.

Pulling Tension

Wrap the loose section of string once around 
the roller and insert the string between the  
diamond dust coated string gripper plates. 
Pull the string perpendicular to the gripper 
plates  while  slowly  rotating  the  tensioner 
crank clockwise until the brake lever pops 
out of the latching block. The string is now 
tensioned and can be clamped in place with 
the remaining fi xed clamp.
Repeat the above steps until all main strings 
are installed. Tie off ends of main strings as 
per  racquet  manufacturers  recommenda-
tions.

Clamping the First Main String

Secure the tensioned main string using the 
remaining fi xed clamp. Repeat the procedure 
for all of the remaining main strings and tie off 
following the racquet manufacturers recom-
mendations. 
Follow  the  manufacturers  recommended 
stringing pattern for one or two piece stringing. 
This will determine the starting point for the 
cross strings. If applicable, tie the fi rst cross 
string using an appropriate starting knot.
