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 at the tip of the racquet.
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.
String Clamp Operation
The String Clamps are a dual action design
where the String Clamp and Clamp Base
operate independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the String Clamp and place
the string between the jaws and depress the
String Clamp Lever to secure the string. The
clamping pressure applied to the string should
be adjusted to provide suffi cient pressure to
secure the string when subjected to the desired
pulling tension. The textured surface of the
teeth provide for increased friction between
the clamps and the string to allow for reduced
clamping pressure while securing and holding the string under tension.
Note that excessive pressure can damage both the strings and String Clamp.
STRINGING THE FRAME
Clamp Base Operation
To lock the String Clamp Base to the Turntable,
rotate the Clamp Base locking lever clockwise.
To release the String Clamp Base from the
Turntable, rotate the clamp base locking lever
counter-clockwise.
The locking lever should be tightened enough
to prevent Clamp Base slippage on the Turn-
table when the desired tension is placed on
the string. To adjust the Clamp Base refer to
page 23.
