To determine whether the mains start at the top or at the
bottom of the frame, count the number of holes in the
open throat area. For 4 or 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
or two-piece string pattern. One-piece stringing means
that you will use one continuous piece to string 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 of 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 hybrid). The string must be cut
to accommodate the appropriate length for the mains
(usually 20’). The rest of the string set will be used for
the crosses.
The center frame supports (6 and 12 o’clock positions)
divide the racquet in half. Looking at the racquet from 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 1st right main. Thread the two ends of the main
strings through the 1st left main and the 1st right main.
Do this at the throat and head of the racquet.
