50-50 Stringing Pattern

You need a starting clamp for 50-50, either that or a flying clamp. And if you have an odd number of crosses, start on the middle cross.

Hi Yulite. Great videos. They've helped me a lot. Just a question...why can't I start my crosses using just the clamps (just like my mains)? I don't have a starting clamp but i'd like to do a 50 / 50 pattern.

Also...where do I start if an odd number of crosses? Thanks.

If you are talking about starting, I agree. Otherwise, you need to have JUST the starting clamp on it to progress through the crosses.

It is suppose to be IDEAL for O3 racquets, I agree. :D

Hi Yulite.

Just a tip. Use teh clamp with teh starting clamp, you risk dammaging strings just useing a starting clamp alone.

Its also a good patern for Prince O3 frames ;)

No. You still need a starting clamp. Try it.

seem like why you need a starter clamp is because you are using a swivel clamp machine. if you use gliding bar machine, you probably don't need starter clamp, and it will be just like stringing mains.

I have no idea. You should contact Gamma.

Hey YULitle, i have the same stringer as you. How do u calibrate your stringer? I have a digital fish scale and i know where the knobs are under the tension display, but how do u set everything up?

If you are using gut crosses, a 50/50 will ensure that the freshest gut is in the middle of the bed. With a normal 2 piece, the gut that ends up in the middle has been dragged through mains on its way down.

I see no reason to use this method at all, actually.

is this a pattern that you only use if you have concerns about the integrity of the frame or would you use 50/50 for everyday stringing?

By first, I mean the center cross. :D

I don't think it matters. If you are concerned, just do the first and then act as if it wasn't there. Do two towards the throat (for a total of 3.) Then do four towards the head (for a total of 7.) And back and forth like your mains.

When you have a racket with an uneven amount of crosses (let's say 19), you don't have an even amount of crosses left after you do the first two. Do you leave 8 crosses to the head and 9 to the throat, or vice versa, or doesn't it matter?

16x19 as in one piece 10/30 complete video on how to.

if you watch carefully, the racket he is stringing is a Tour 90 which mean a 16x19 pattern....come on man video made it so simple already

Hey, how do u string 16X19's?
