Double pulling
Question:
We string both tennis and racquetball frames in my shop. For tennis frames, we always pull each string individually, and we never have a complaint. For racquetball frames, we sometimes have to double-pull -- pull two strings at once -- from the head. If we pull at the customer's desired tension, he often feels that the racquet is not strung properly, is "weak," the strings move and need to be adjusted after each shot. I've found, however, that I get a much better string job if I set the reference tension 2 pounds higher than the customer requests. My machine is properly calibrated, so why is there such a difference?
