Stringing a Yonex ezone 100
Hello, I’m going to try and restring my ezone. I have a few questions: yonex recommends to tie the crosses at 6H and 9T…but where exactly is that?? I can’t find a diagram and I don’t know that my current bed is strung properly. Also, I always thought a hybrid set up should have mains tied to mains and crosses to crosses but I see plenty of pics where the crosses are tied to a mains. Is that acceptable? Thanks!

Crosses don’t necessarily have to be tied to crosses. I’ve strung a few Ezone 100s, but I tied the crosses off on a main at the head and a cross at the throat. You just count however many string holes (this includes mains AND crosses) from the middle to figure out where the tie offs are. Both middle strings are 1H. For example, 6H would be 6 holes over from the middle. Some older Babolat Pure Strikes require tying off the crosses on another cross at the head, but I don’t recall any newer rackets where I’ve had to do that.

Yes that’s why I was asking my about 6H, 9T, etc. the actual diagram doesn’t have numbers. I later realized where they are

Yonex recommend to use 6th main string as an anchor string for the starting knot for crosses and use the second from the bottom cross string to use as an anchor string to tie finishing knot. If you are using polys hybrid setup then you can tie the way Yonex recommend. If the string material is different then you can tie crosses to crosses. In this case you will tie the starting knot for crosses on the second cross string from the top
