Badminton Stringing - POV, no talking, 4 knots, Yonex Arcsaber 11 Pro 

pro's do that

Thank you!

Thank you! I’ve just been practicing for a long time. I imagine my fingers and string riding the “wave” of main strings, I don’t know if that makes much sense but I will try to make a video about stringing crosses one day. Let me know if you have more questions though!

The reason to pre-weave one of the crosses is so that the main strings will be already offset so when you go in to weave the next row it makes it a lot easier since the main strings are already slightly moved up or down and all I have to do is to push the head of the string through the opening. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PHDv1NZFqBA.html here is a video where there is a better angle of what I'm talking about with a bit more detail in the description!

The tension for this racket would be 26LB. When buying a racket, usually the listed tension is the median of both crosses and mains e.g 24lb means 23lb mains and 25lb crosses. Hope this helps!

@@badmintonstuff thank you!

That is intersting, I might try that one time!

I learned from watching videos online and also from the stringers at my club. I would say that if you are intersted in stringing for youself or for other people buying a machine and just figuring it out would be the best way to do it. As for wich machine you should get, I suggest to get any machine that is in your budget and not too old. The main features I would look for is a 4 point or a 6 point stringing machine, either hand crank or eletronic, and one that has its own stand since I find it to be eaier to move and place. LMK if you have anymore questions and I'll do my best to answer them!

@@badmintonstuff ya i also asked on reddit and my friends in the last couple of days, apparently there really isnt any course to teach this, thats wild! i thought there would be a course for everything. so knowing that, im a bit hesitant to start this hobby cuz buying a machine first without knowing whether ill enjoy it is quite an investment considering even cheap second hand ones are hundreds of dollars, almost 1000, and i dont really have the spare cash right now, so...i will have to see, and maybe wait for a steal on the 2nd hand market. my original plan was to learn the basics in a course, and if i like it, then ill buy a machine to practice and eventually string my own

Are you pulling 2 strings at the same time? If you are only pulling 1 string then there is a high likelihood of it snapping. It might also be because your knot is not good enough and it snaps at the knot. Hope that helps!

Got it, thanks so much! Turns out it was because i was pulling just 1 string😅

@@nigelyap6820 Maybe this video helps, I think this by far is the best knot to do for cross start, it doesn't hold on the string below and it's strong and big enough to be pulled: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wDp8Vt5h-pg.html

For the cross I use about 184-188 inches (467-477 cm) of strings and for the mains I would use about 205-210 inches (520-533 cm) of string from the reel. You can use less string to restring a racket but this is the most efficient amount of string for me.

In my short time as a stringer for badminton, it depends on if you have starting clamps to support. Mains usually require 7 racket lengths + handle. Crosses usually require 6 racket lengths + handle. After you measure them, feel free to measure how many "arm pulls" you need by using the string you just cut. IMO, it's easier to just state racket lengths.

Usually, 27 pounds is not going to break a racket unless it is a very cheap replica. Make sure that the replica that you have is of good quality and if you deem it to be good then you can string it at 27 pounds. When you string crosses just make sure the tension is 2 pounds higher than the mains so for 27 LB you want to string the mains at 26 and the crosses at 28. Hope that helps!

Starting from the middle ensures that the tension is evenly distributed on both sides of the racket. Also it's not good to tension just one side because when tensioning the racket, the racket warps it a little bit, so if I were to just do one side first it would warp the racket too much and it might break since the other side isn't under stress at all.

That my friend, is exactly what Abite is lol. If you use bg 80 for the mains and Abite for the crosses it basically becomes areobite. The strings will last longer but it won't feel the same as complete asonic . I recommend you try bg 80 for the mains and asonic for the crosses and see how it feels and then test other strings as well, just make sure that the cross string's gauge is thinner than the mains. Hope you have fun!

@@badmintonstuff I plan to use BG70 pro for the mains instead of BG80. 80 isn’t near as durable as the 70 pro

I have never heard of BG70 pro before, but as long as it is thicker than aerosonic then go for it! I usually use bg80 since it gives a similar feel to aerobite.@@MrDoordude125

@@badmintonstuff tried it and the first game I used it my two middle main strings pulled through the frame of my racket completely pulling the grommets through the outer portion of my frame into the middle the frame. Very weird never seen anything like it before. Could this be from mixing these two strings ? Or more likely just coincidence?

might you be using the Victor Jetspeed s10 or s10 enhanced or s11? It is most likely a coincidence in my opinion@@MrDoordude125

I am not sure about this machine since yonex doesn't sell it anymore but a machine like this would generally cost around 4k - 8k usd.

It’s to ensure that the tension is spread evenly throughout the whole racket as I’m stringing the crosses!

Thanks you! I started making video because I wanted people who are just starting to have more videos to refer to. As for the tools I’m using, I just use whatever came with the stringing machine at my club (it’s very old) but I reckon anything you can find laying around or buying some basic pliers and awl from amazon works just as well. Hope this helps!

Hlo sir I am biggest fan of you Your video are instructing Being your biggest follower on RU-vid and Instagram can you give away nextage racket to me

To keep racket shape

tks. but the MAIN longer than CROSS. It means Tension on CROSS higher than MAIN. so we can use juz 1 tension to keep shape. right? @@HarrisRu

If you use the same tension on main and crosses it still makes the racket more round than oval. The normal way is to just string a crosses at a higher tension than the mains to ensure the frame goes back to its ovular shape

Racket does not factor in how muhc it costs to restring. It is only dependent on what strings you want plus the labour fee. Usually for bg 65 it would cost $26 including the string and the labour!

​@@badmintonstuffwow 26$ , in my country bg65 we string around 5.5$

It took me about 1.5 hours to string my first racket without someone helping me and just using youtube. It took me a month of stringing almost every day to get to about 20 minutes per racket!

There are a lot of ways but all of them are very janky lol. It's not impossible just very very inaccurate, inefficent and just not good at all haha.

It's the fluorescent lights humming lol, but thanks for indulging!

it’s white noise. it’s relaxing.

NIce! How is it?

Thank you! I will focus try to pay more attention!

There are stringing patterns that don't need to cut the strings but the most common method and the Yonex approved method is the two piece pattern. On my channel, I do have a few videos where I string single stringing pattern rather than the Yonex 2 piece pattern as well!

Just for you my friend, the next video will be a POV

@@badmintonstuff aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa love you so much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
