Thank you sir for taking the time to prep this video. Me and my daughter just restrung our first racquet together. It was my Death Star racquet. Thanks!
Thanks for this, I strung for a racquetball tournament this past weekend, and prior I had never done an E-Force frame before. Going in I knew I'd get one eventually, so I took down some notes on a little piece of paper of the order/colors to do for the mains, I made my own little "cheat sheet" that I tapped up onto my machine. I could have just looked in my RSA Digest, but I was too lazy to go get it and I was already watching your video, ha! I ended up doing 4 E-Force frames
So glad you found it helpful! E-Force is great because all of their frames are basically the same pattern and they more or less have the directions written right on the frame!
I got an E-force Chaos racquet to string. I string 99.9 percent tennis. It kind of looked strange that one side of the 4 tubes was quite a bit higher than the other side of the 4 tubes. What I discovered is that one side is not attached. Is there an way to reattach a group of 4 tubes?
Exactly the same issue I mentioned at the beginning of this video, and probably not uncommon. I've been careful/lucky it hasn't happened to me yet. But as I understand it if you remove the grip and the metal pin in the handle the tubes can actually come out and you can replace them. How, exactly? I don't know, as I haven't gone through that process. But you'd have to call E-Force directly and see if they can send you the replacement set. Alternatively, you could just use some normal tubing (like I use when grommets are broken) and stretch it out a bit then feed it through the handle. This would alleviate the stress of the string rubbing directly on the base of the handle a bit and keep some of the vibration-reducing properties. Good luck!
@@Luk3d4wG I used a broken awl (tip was broken) stuck the point in and hammered the pin out. The piece the tubes stick in had to go out the butt. I stuck the tubes in and slid it in and hammered the back in pin in. I got help from someone at E-Force.
Platinum is monofilament and oxygen is multifilament. Generally, multifilament is preferred in racquetball for its softer feel, possibly slightly higher power, and the ability to see the strings fray as they get closer to breaking. With that said, I think 90% of players probably wouldn't actually feel the difference in how they play in a blind test. I've played both extensively and I generally prefer stringing with cheap string frequently rather than expensive string less frequently (although I have a stringing machine, so...) But generally when people ask me what I recommend, I say "if you have to ask, I'd suggest the cheaper string and just restring more frequently rather than paying +$15 for multifilament". Fresh strings feel like they make a much bigger difference than mono vs. multi (to me).

Is there much difference between eforce platinum and oxygen string?
Platinum is monofilament and oxygen is multifilament. Generally, multifilament is preferred in racquetball for its softer feel, possibly slightly higher power, and the ability to see the strings fray as they get closer to breaking.

I use dish soap instead of the synthetic grease to lube the tubes. Poet and don't even know it.
