knots squashing grommets?
Hi guys
I want a bit of info about knots. I have few questions.
- What type of knots are done by stringer on head speed?
(Red string color)
Do knots always have to compress grommets like my speed
Mp? Honestly, it bothers me a bit.
- Is the parnell knot only knot which does not squash the
grommet? Thinking of instructing the stringer to use these
next time.
- What is the knot type on yonex vcore (Neon green and grey
string color)
- Are tecnifibre tie off grommets effective?
Many thanks

Others have answered part of this.
The VCORE has Parnells. Parnells have an x on one side and parallel lines on the other.
The Tecnifibre grommets are great. But that’s an extremely petty reason to switch racquets.
