Accidentally I bumped into Klipper's web site and found out that they've got Yonex's racquets' stringing pattern, but it's interesting that they're doing it with one string, but I've heard from this news groups that Yonex will void the warrenty of the racquet if you're not stringing with 2 strings, which is correct ? By the way, is there a default tension for the Yonex racquets ? Or the stringers in the sporting good stroes string with the tension as they like ? Jason

To my knowledge no. But I could be wrong. Ask your nearest Yonex dealer. > By the way, is there a default tension for the Yonex racquets ?

They usually look at the racquet. Somewhere on the frame, there is usually a set tension. However, I know that certain company do declare there warrantee null and void if the tensin is set higher (and sometimes lower) than the set tesion. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Allan Gordon Carleton University Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour; Welcome to the basement.

But I could be wrong. Ask your nearest Yonex dealer. I believe that Yonex insists on stringing with two piecce. However, I string my Yonex RD-7 with one piece, and there is no problem. I tried to get replacement because I hit the ground, but didn't get it it, since the racket hit the ground. > > By the way, is there a default tension for the Yonex racquets ?

Each model has its own range. > Tell the stingers at the store. They usually look at the racquet. Somewhere on the frame, there is usually a set tension. Somewhere on the frame there should be recomended range. Ussually 55-65lbs. Regards, Predrag

Actually, Klipper's web page suggests the pattern is two strings because they give you the length of the main and the length of the cross......On their one piece patterns they give you the total length of the string and the length of the short side.... They do, however, have note that tells you how to take their 2-string pattern and perform a one piece stringing. Question: I play with a Wilson Hammer 5.5 and everytime I took my racquest to my local pro shop for stringing, they used a one string pattern even though the stringing recommends a two string pattern. So when I started stringing a few months ago, I also used the one piece pattern. Are their advantages and disadvantages to one string versus two strings??

There shouldn't be any difference at all if you're stringing the mains and the crosses at the same tension. I'm not sure why Yonex is so gung-ho about the two-piece string pattern. All the Yonex racquets I've ever seen have been strung with one piece. Some advantages to having two-piece stringing done is the idea of two different tensions. I like having my crosses strung two pounds lower than my mains. I find it gives the string job a more consistent and even feel. On the other hand, I get mine done a little bit unusually, with a one-piece string job and two different tension settings. It works, and I like it a lot, but don't ask me how or why. -- Mike Hoye

Normally you will find the tension range of most racquets on the throat of the racquet. If you cant find it on the racquet as your local tennis shop if he can tell you the range. They all will have a stringers guide which is available from the US Racquet Stringers Association. This guide provide sting patterns and tension ranges for all racquets manufacture the previous year. If you are stringing you can join for about $60-70. This includes a copy of the stringers guide. Also if you join the association you will recieve bi monthly updates on new racquets.

Technically speaking there is a difference. However, the difference is so small that it is impossible to feel the difference. The difference is in the ability of the string to maintain a consistant tension. Tension loss increases with string length.

Manufactures who require 2 peice string patterns versus 1 peice patterns often has to do with the hole size and pattern. For example when Wilson released the 7.2 Prostaff the hole sizes were to small to trad for the tie off point. This was later corrected.
