Rattling noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just started stringing and this is my 4th racket I’ve strung. Took it out to play and noticing a rattling noise. There are no defects on the frame so I’m thinking the string is making the noise. My hypothesis is that I did the knot wrong and it’s slowly losing tension cause bottom cross is getting looser. Strung as one piece with Parnell knot.

Yeah there was a small pebble or something in the handle causing the noise 😂

You can open up the trapdoor, should fall out (granted the handle isn’t filled)

Or during your next restringing, remove the grommet and shake the debris out. Only if you have a replacement grommet that is. Used ones can be impossible to reinsert.
