I just wanna say thank you CK. I've really been struggling recently, I've tried EVERYTHING, I thought i'd never get passed this, this video has been nothing short of a god send. I was asleep in minutes :) xx

One of the best person who explain about badminton stringing techniques

For the share grommet, instead of using a small piece of string, I use a piece of ribbon to lift the blocked string because the ribbon is wider and stronger.

So I just watched Tobias's video with the Yonex Stringing team (The Art of Stringing Part 2). The video from 2022. They've modified the way their cross string, especially with high-tension and with Aerobites..

1) The starting knot on the cross strings at B6 no longer wraps around the main string to prevent breakage.
2) When you reach to about 3 or 4 crosses left near the top of the racket, string from the *top down*. And instead of tying off at A5/a5 and wrap around the main string, tie off around A10/a10 onto a cross string.

I've just started to do my strings like how they do now. I have to say it feel a little more confident, less iffy than wrapping around the mains on either end.

A suggestion to prevent starting mains from slipping is apply a starting clamp beside the machine clamp so you won't have to hold the string during the first pull.

how do you get into stringing from scratch? Don't know where to start, what machine to get etc.

Thanks for all your videos. I am a stringer, but have never done badminton before. I got a request to do a badminton racket, and the customer gave me a pack of string, and he requested it to be done as a 1pc job. So I counted 11 mains for my short side and then left the rest on the other side to do the other 11 mains, and this racket has a 22 crosses pattern it looks like. The racket is MMOA, Ace Power 1101.
I finished the 11 mains on my short side, and did the 11 mains on the other side and went into the crosses, but I only made it to cross number 12 before I ran out of string??
I didn't cut that much string off when I tied off the mains on the short side... I even picked up the string I cut off, and that gave me an additional maybe 5 crosses, I would have still been short.
The pack of Ashaway ZyMax 66 Fire Power said 10M... I'm pretty confused why the string ran out.
Maybe it was just a bad pack, or I am missing something with the way badminton is done compared to tennis/squash rackets that I am normally accustomed to...
So I ordered two packs of Yonex BG66 UM for the customer instead to give to him, in case I run into the same problem, I will tie off the long side, and just do it as a 2pc job.

Hi thanks for the detailed video. Quick question - you mentioned you hold your fingers by the clamps to check for any slippage. Has slippage like that happened to you before, and if yes, how do you fix it? Thanks in advance!

[mchengalath]

Thank you for this video. For a 72 hole racquet, where do you start the cross, on the left side or right side? Yonex instruction is to start at the right side, that would mean 3 knots would come to the right side while 1 knot to the left side, which is not the case for 76 hole pattern!

[Bieffe]

I'm trying to find the Yonex stringing guide u mention in the video. You mentioned you gonna provide the link but I don't see it. Thanks buddy.

[johnd]

Hi, thank you for the excellent video. Would you have a link with stringing devices reviews? I have a stringing device (a very old one) with a rotator and I would like to buy a new one with parallel pull that is more precise. Mine now is really not precise and I want to be more precise in my stringing work now. If you know of a website or good video explaining the different stringing machines and which one is best (not for professionals) but more for own family playing. We tend to do new stringing 6-8 times per months...

Thanks for your help ;).

[Deincrosse]

Would you mind doing a video on how to replace grommets and the tools required?

[kupfeli]

Instead of using a flying clamp, you could swap the last two crossstrings, so first go through the last holes, then the secondlast holes, pull em both and you can use the normal clamps on the string you pulled. basically same mechanism as for the last two mains, but now you do it to get more tolerance for the clamps (dont need clamps for the last crosses, only for the secondlast crosses, as you pull that). Hope that helps.

[sitwy]

what's the reason why you need to put the little short string on the vertical string? I am just start learning how to string my own racket:p

[Dan-jkld]

Hi CK, I've just started stringing my own badminton racquets on my dropweight machine (same machine that I use for my tennis racquets which I've been doing for a while). I've had string break on me twice when pulling tension (1st time was exbolt 65, the second time was exbolt 68). Am a bit confused (and frustrated) as to why it's happening as I would have expected the strings to be able to hold up (I'm only stringing at 23x25lbs)...

Do you know if it's common for strings to snap during the process of stringing? Trying to work out if it's usual/my fault/how to avoid this in the future :( Would you have any insights as to what's happening or how I can avoid snapping issues?

[ryancheung]

I want to learn how to string but don’t know where to start… how did you begin your stringing journey?

[ATELIERDUCORDAGE]

There is something in my opinion that could make it even more consistent. It's about your crosses and it's the wayi do it on my tennis racquet wich is kind of the same technique except pulling the 2 las strings together. So the advantage of this technique is that you can pull 10% more on the knots and make it even everywhere. But if you use a starting know it won't be. The way I'm doing it is to block the first cross with a flying clamp, weave 5 or 6 crosses and then come back and pull with the same 10% on the cross or the first 2 of them? What do you think?

[lotannaoscar]

Thank you Ck for the video. Is awesomly detailed. Please can you share video on how to string a Tennis Racket?

[jimmyung]

I used your technique for the shared holes. But I am so scared to pull up any harder incase I main the main strings near the top. Do you require some level of force when pulling up for space to use the shared holes ?

[stevegriffiths]

Hi I know this is an older video but please can you tell me what side supports you use on the machine? I have the same machine but the stock supports that are not the best! Thanks
