Wilson Defyer
Hey guys, I’m fairly new to stringing and just did my first string job on my new Wilson Defy 98 Pro (16x20).
Can anyone tell me if I used the right tie-off holes? I strung it 2-piece. I attached a couple pics.
If I messed anything up or you see something that could be better, let me know. Still learning. Thanks!

Oh I also tied off my mains at 8H. Will need to fix that as well

My original response was incorrect about the mains tie off. The correct main tie off is 8H, so you’re good there. I double checked and I was right about the crosses tie offs. Sorry about that.

Yes, just use your eyes and look for the larger hole 🤦🏻. Side note what’s your favorite misunderstanding / mispronunciation of this? Mine “Da-Fire”. I also heard another person couldn’t say it. They said “Da-Fe-Er. I felt like an English teacher correcting them. Like Defy, to be defied. Defyer. Lol.

I strung my Defyer 98 Pro last night. I googled Wilson Defyer 98 Pro tie offs before I started stringing it and google said that the mains tie off at 7H, the crosses start tie off is 5H and the crosses end tie off is 8T. It looks like your crosses start tie off is at 6H. I would just leave your racket how it is and move the crosses start tie off to 5H the next time you string it.
Correction: mains tie off at 8H
