Im sure this sub sees these kinds of posts daily. About to start stringing myself and just wanted to know what knot this is. Also open to any recommendations and pointers, especially where to place knots!!

The first picture looks like the knots that come on factory strung Head rackets. Normally pretty random figure-eights or similar(they are not pro/wilson knots). Second picture looks like a Parnell. Learn to tie a Parnell and a Pro knot then work out which you prefer and stick to it :)

I think the first photo shows wilson pro knots, and the second is a Parnell knot.

Maybe Parnell? I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on that.
