I use a scrap piece of string and place it in the holes that 2 strings share so when i get to point that 2nd string is ready to push it in as i pull scrap out

This is a top video. Too many stringing vids just make every racquet look like they are a walk in the park to string and they never encounter issues. I get that when you're stringing for a living, but most people who just string for themselves and perhaps some mates will find these tips really helpful. I particularly liked how you used your bent nose pliers to hold and push. Much better choice of tools than normal pliers, where you can't get so close to the racquet and your string will bend. Haven't strung this prestige yet, well aware with older models on the same machine as yours. It became fairly normal with 3 coaches all with a prestige and stringing virtually weekly. Cheers 🎾🎾🎾

I am a television tennis commentator from Spain. Your KZread channel is the best thing I've seen about tennis in a long time. I would like to know where your store is to visit as soon as I return to the United States. Thank you for your great work and your great teaching ability.

Would love to see you make a quality control with head Prestige rackets!!!

I'm getting a Prestige soon and I string my own, so this video was very helpful. Thanks!

When playing with guts, this grommet was essential, since it avoided the breakage of the gut when it had contact with wet clay and it remained stuck to the frame of the racket. IT WAS A WAY TO AVOID HUMIDITY.

19:00. In those cases I use a piece of a firmer string (poly, cutted at an angle as you showed), when the synthetic gut crosses don´t pass through easily. That opens a path, and doesn´t damage the existing string.

I use a guiding hole finder it helps me out when I am in trouble finding it Harry you are the greatest !!

I am new to stringing and I own 3 of these bad boys, 2 of which need stringing and have not been looking forward to doing. I'm all set now though! Thanks!!!

Good technique and camera work as well.

Back in the day the only racket I had trouble with are the rackets made by fila, soI used a curved sharp scissor and splice the string at an angle almost paper thin always did the trick for me. But great instructional video.

Ive strung the original prestige pro 600 last year. Compared to modern babolats and yonexes it was more chalenging. However using a smaller gauge poly makes it easier.

Gettin' the people what they want. Thanks!

Sort of related question: how difficult is replacing the bumper guard/grommets on the Prestige MP? I've done it for the RF97 and found it pretty straightforward. I've been told that replacing the bumper guard/grommets on a Babolat, though, is a nightmare. Where does the Prestige CAP grommets fall along this continuum? Great content, by the way!

Awesome hack. Now I’m gonna get a prestige

Well, seems pretty hard to string. Btw, awesome channel! Would you do a pure strike line review?

I agree with him on how difficult to string the prestige, I once strung a graphene prestige mp and it took me around an hour to string it on a dropweight stringing machine

all in awl, it was a good hack tip 😆 👍

Brother what do think about Pro Staff 97s 2016?

What brand and flavor string are you using that you're having so much trouble with slippage?

Good video !!!

Great tips. Curious as to why you wait until you finish the crosses before tying off the starting knot? Also it would be nice to know more about you and your business, i.e. name other than “Mr. Spin,” location of your shop, on court demos of the equipment. Looking forward to your updated bio.

Not having a starting knot doesn't put pressure, created by a tensioned knot, on the starting hole and the frame around that area.

hi, I always make the double knot on the first cross string first on lose string. then with tensioning the first cross the knot and string goes tight at the same time. then you can set the first clamp on the other side of the knot and finished is your first cross string. therefore you have no space problems at the end with the clamp! ever tried this method? regards

You once talked about the 03 holes on Prince racquets and how they were a pain in the neck for stringers. And, it turned off key people for distributing the racquet. Does the Head grommet system have that same negative effect on sales and service for the Head snapping grommet system?

I play with Baolat pure aero-2017-18 version. Is there any special way for stringing this racket as most of the strangers here do it wrong in which the cross strings donot fall in the proper place in the racket grommet?

Camera person did a great job

May I know what's the recommended tension for this racket?

Thanks for sharing Where do you get your tubing? From time to time I have to tube and with the clear ones that are larger gauge they do make it more challenging. Something I like to do with the end of the string on tough ports put some lip balm on it. Now you get to find a use for a near empty lip balm container On that tight turnoff grommet, I like to do the Wilson Pro Knot. It’s not as bulky. As you said this is a demo. What do you like to string your demos with and what tension? As to appeal to a wide variety of players going to demo a racquet. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this. You are awesome! Could I learn the difference between electronic string machine and manual string machine from your perspective? Thanks!

@nostro1001

Electronic machine = constant pul, manual = lock out. An electronic machine is better for accuracy, that said if you're getting m using a drop or crank and string consistently, the result will be perfectly fine. It may not be the most accurate, but it doesn't matter if you're not stringing professionally. Just so long as you remain consistent. Obviously an electronic machine is faster and depending on the model may have a variety of options such as pre stretch & memory, that just make things easier.🙍 Cheers.

Harry: would new 2023 Prestige MP L 16X19 coming out soon also be a difficult to string?

Recommend string and tension for prestige MP? Update: after trying VelocityMLT, hawk touch, lynx tour, Cyclone. I settle on HyperG 17g @51 2 pieces string job.

after watching your stringing videos I'm realizing how lazy my stringing guy is.... now i know why sometimes I get ping and zing sounds from my racket.

Can it hold 60pund tension

When you're measuring out the mains (9 lengths x 2), don't you need some extra for the length from the last hole to the tension grip and for tying off?

Tide off ending knot cross to a main ?

All you have to do to lock the string in before you tie your knot is make sure you are above it on the outside, then loop it around the anchor string once and pull it across the racket until it locks in. Easy.

Another way to pull enough strings for 18 mains, is to pull the strings 9 times across the length of the racket 27 inches each time, and then pull it one more time from the end of the buttcap to around the top taper of the grip or to the throat and you should have exactly enough string for the main.

I like stringing 16x19’s with 1 skip, like a Pure Strike.

Yep, grommet threading nightmare especially when the light is bad. Stringing these bottom up is not an option? Threading in the first two crosses before tying off the mains strikes me as a way to save a lot of headaches. Why always head down? In the wooden era fair enough but nowadays? Surely okay.

You supposed to string top to bottom because some bs that that way it's easier on the frame. It all started actually cause first head racquets will break If strung bottom to top. I think that's the story not sure how true it is. Fyi i have experimented before stringing bottom to top a newer Wilson Prostaff and it worked well so far

Someone tell me why this racquet is any different to string?

please review, triax string

[26:13 and on], I sure hope MY stringer is as patient and careful as you are, when I bring him my Prestiges and Pro Tour 2.0s!!

I recently did a youtek prestige string job. Didn't pay attention to what model was it, but i didn't find excessively hard to string. The only challenge was threading the string into the channel, but way easier compared to a blocked string grommet. But i appreciated the hacks

Hi tennis spin

The real pain for me to string is the Prince O-port rackets for the crosses (when you don't have the tool).

Or, use the turn table brake and pull at a 3° angle to keep the string touching the o port side. I once did a granny prince os with them pr holes and wasn't too bad at all

It looks like a nightmare to string! What are the benefits of this grommet design? I suppose this is like the opposite of the old version pure aero headguard where the strings could be exposed after wear and tear?

forgot to add my opinion on cap grommet benefits. it increases the swing weight and stability of the racquet. imagine putting lead around the hoop. some generations of the prestige and even the radical came with standard grommets/head guard that only protected what was necessary from ground strike. you could change it out with the full caps and vice versa.

@@TennisSpin Really enjoy watching your videos, you put out some great contents! I know you compared tennis balls before but can you do a bounce test across different brands and also compare how they perform 1 or 2 weeks after opening. Another video suggestion is about the variation in weight and balance spec of the same racquet (from the shelf) by brand e.g. how much they can vary.

the "pathfinder awl" is a great tool for these stupid frames, yea I just bought a pair and I string myself, nightmare. about as bad as my prince 93 18x20

Omg! I was going to say the exact same thing!! Wilson Pro Knot removes the slack on the Main tie off. Wow! Can’t believe an experienced stringer does not know about this!

So to sum it up, pull an extra 10’ of string to keep cutting sharp edges? 🤪😂😬

Using 17g poly just fixes all of these issues, when you have a softer string in the crosses it can be a bitch though

Great video but even with your help the prestige is still a bitch to string. Thanks for your help. 👍

Why can't i just tie a knot with a machine?

Who the HELL still uses a double half hitch!?

ЧУВААК!! НЕ НУЖНО НИКОГО ЗДЕСЬ ПУГАТЬ,!! ЕСЛИ У ТЕБЯ ЕСТЬ РУКИ И ХОРОШИЙ ИНСТРУМЕНТ,НАТЯНУТЬ ЭТУ РАКЕТКУ ДАЖЕ НАТУРАЛКОЙ НЕ СОСТАВИТ ТРУДА!!🤣🌺🤣

This racquet is not any harder to string than any other 18x20 not sure what the point was. Also stop cinching knots with a machine.
