I can curtainly!

Thanks! I try to be!

It took me about 1.5 hours to string my first racket without someone helping me and just using youtube. It took me a month of stringing almost every day to get to about 20 minutes per racket!

Sure!

Yonex voltric 70 e tune

It's time for me to do both

Thank you! I'm sorry for not being more active

Thanks hahaha, it hasn't snapped any strings on me so far!

Yea, super smooth

That is intersting, I might try that one time!

Starting from the middle ensures that the tension is evenly distributed on both sides of the racket. Also it's not good to tension just one side because when tensioning the racket, the racket warps it a little bit, so if I were to just do one side first it would warp the racket too much and it might break since the other side isn't under stress at all.

pro's do that

I learned from watching videos online and also from the stringers at my club. I would say that if you are intersted in stringing for youself or for other people buying a machine and just figuring it out would be the best way to do it. As for wich machine you should get, I suggest to get any machine that is in your budget and not too old. The main features I would look for is a 4 point or a 6 point stringing machine, either hand crank or eletronic, and one that has its own stand since I find it to be eaier to move and place. LMK if you have anymore questions and I'll do my best to answer them!

@@badmintonstuff ya i also asked on reddit and my friends in the last couple of days, apparently there really isnt any course to teach this, thats wild! i thought there would be a course for everything. so knowing that, im a bit hesitant to start this hobby cuz buying a machine first without knowing whether ill enjoy it is quite an investment considering even cheap second hand ones are hundreds of dollars, almost 1000, and i dont really have the spare cash right now, so...i will have to see, and maybe wait for a steal on the 2nd hand market. my original plan was to learn the basics in a course, and if i like it, then ill buy a machine to practice and eventually string my own

It's calming!

Personally, no. It's expensive for beginners, too stiff for most beginners, and too head-heavy for most beginners as well. In addition to all those factors, the shaft is so stiff that you do not know if you are using the right technique when using it, especially for a beginner. If you are still wanting the Astrox 99 then you should look into the 'play' or 'game' model. Both of those give off about the same feel but it's a lot less stiff and much easier to use while also being a good intermediate racket. Hope that helps!

That my friend, is exactly what Abite is lol. If you use bg 80 for the mains and Abite for the crosses it basically becomes areobite. The strings will last longer but it won't feel the same as complete asonic . I recommend you try bg 80 for the mains and asonic for the crosses and see how it feels and then test other strings as well, just make sure that the cross string's gauge is thinner than the mains. Hope you have fun!

@@badmintonstuff I plan to use BG70 pro for the mains instead of BG80. 80 isn’t near as durable as the 70 pro

I have never heard of BG70 pro before, but as long as it is thicker than aerosonic then go for it! I usually use bg80 since it gives a similar feel to aerobite.@@MrDoordude125

@@badmintonstuff tried it and the first game I used it my two middle main strings pulled through the frame of my racket completely pulling the grommets through the outer portion of my frame into the middle the frame. Very weird never seen anything like it before. Could this be from mixing these two strings ? Or more likely just coincidence?

might you be using the Victor Jetspeed s10 or s10 enhanced or s11? It is most likely a coincidence in my opinion@@MrDoordude125

Usually, 27 pounds is not going to break a racket unless it is a very cheap replica. Make sure that the replica that you have is of good quality and if you deem it to be good then you can string it at 27 pounds. When you string crosses just make sure the tension is 2 pounds higher than the mains so for 27 LB you want to string the mains at 26 and the crosses at 28. Hope that helps!

I honestly have no idea, but it is not particularly heavy.

The reason to pre-weave one of the crosses is so that the main strings will be already offset so when you go in to weave the next row it makes it a lot easier since the main strings are already slightly moved up or down and all I have to do is to push the head of the string through the opening. th-cam.com/video/PHDv1NZFqBA/w-d-xo.html here is a video where there is a better angle of what I'm talking about with a bit more detail in the description!

Racket does not factor in how muhc it costs to restring. It is only dependent on what strings you want plus the labour fee. Usually for bg 65 it would cost $26 including the string and the labour!

​@@badmintonstuffwow 26$ , in my country bg65 we string around 5.5$

It's the fluorescent lights humming lol, but thanks for indulging!

it’s white noise. it’s relaxing.

I am not sure about this machine since yonex doesn't sell it anymore but a machine like this would generally cost around 4k - 8k usd.

about 173 inches for the crosses and then about 200 inches for the mains!

Same question😊

I lose both the clamps just to ensure that the tension spreads out more evenly throughout the entire racket when tensioning the crosses!

@@badmintonstuff i see, isnt the already strung crosses losing tension then? For instance 3 crosses down

@@StringSwoosh I do not think so because if every time you pull and it's the same tension every time then why would the past rows lose tension? Also when I let go of both clamps, if the machine senses that tension drops it will tighten it even more to make up for it if you know what I mean.

Of course!

It is supposed to be like that! It saves a little bit of string and it looks more unique while also not hindering the performance of the racket! The pro player tai tzu ying plays with her racket strung like this! She was the one to really popularize the stringing style

The official yonex method is 4 knots and it's the most common method. The 2 knot method is no different than 4 knot but it might hold tension a little bit better since there are less knots for the string to lose tension through but besides that I don't see a difference and it's up to the stringer or player's preference

@@badmintonstuff Thank you!

There are a lot of ways but all of them are very janky lol. It's not impossible just very very inaccurate, inefficent and just not good at all haha.

Just for you my friend, the next video will be a POV

@@badmintonstuff aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa love you so much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Stringing is not easy but it feels good I finish!
