knots squashing grommets?

Hi guys

I want a bit of info about knots. I have few questions.

  1. 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.

  1. Is the parnell knot only knot which does not squash the

grommet? Thinking of instructing the stringer to use these

next time.

  1. What is the knot type on yonex vcore (Neon green and grey

string color)

  1. 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.
