I modified this after some measuring for a couple of reasons I think are pertinent. Doing the 1st cross at 3rd sting down is closer to the frame support and deforms the head less, big plus. I measured it with a vernier gauge on a few frames with this pattern and USRSA, Parnel and another I cant remember who instigated it and noticed differing frame flex (was an MOD engineer for 12 years and I like to separate fact from opinion, just for my own OCD). Best results for ATW in regard to unstrung frame where starting the cross with long side (LS) on 3rd cross down from head. This is closer to the frame support, and it deforms the frame less. LS does outer main going down and finishes the throat crosses. Short side finishes last 2 head crosses. Bonus, less cross strings on grommets and no long pulls.
Always good to test things out and I often also modify patterns. This is a more tradition version of the UKRSA, more for demonstration purposes. Good to see you’re putting your engineering skills to good use 👏
On tennis I would usually do as a two piece to maintain better tension in mains and crosses, however if using the same string in crosses and mains, a properly strung ATW one piece can be very good, especially as the tension is very even on the side mains. It's good to have options.
They're good rackets control is decent. I'd say 149 usd is pretty good. That's the price they're selling for on Wilson's site though, so may be worth looking at that first.
It looks like you don't move the string much (in order to avoid string burn) when pulling the crosses through. Is that something you don't bother with depending on string material?
Hi there, yes I do move it, but concentrate on not pulling through too fast - more important with angled string like Hyper G. The closer to the throat you get, the less room there is to move, so you slow the pull through even more.

@@stringdoctor6238 yep. HNC Mech Eng BSc sport science. Never really get to use any of it. 🤦
so what is really the big advantage of stringing one piece over two piece stringing?

is this racket good? found a blade team v8 pre-strung for 149 usd, i am hesitant because i can't find any reviews online
