The brake is used primarily when tying knots and when calibrating. The turntable should
turn freely during stringing tensioning to allow proper alignment of the racquet.

anchor string (a string that
is already installed and
tensioned) and a tying
string (a loose string end
that is threaded through the
same hole as the anchor
string and wrapped around
the anchor string in a
self-locking pattern).

For tight knots, it is also
desirable to use tennis awl
to pull on the string. For
safety, pull down which is
away from your face. Also
for safety, it is advisable to
wear protective eye glasses
while stringing.
