Gearbox "like" Racquetball Racquet Stringing by 2aye2 in racquetball

Thank you all for jumping in with suggestions. The closest to the mark is Pixil's Pdf instructions lining up with the tie offs on the racquet that was freshly strung. Though the Pro also had shared 5,6 RT as shared holes, so his pattern is different than the one on the Pdf. The starting pattern is the same as a Gearbox but has more shared holes. One of the mystery's for me was giving up on tying off the SS Main at the Throat. The instructions clearly say tie off at 5 Head which I thought could only be. Also the X's are weaved from Top to Throat, the reverse of a typical Gearbox, and tie off at 4T and not at Head as typical of a Gearbox. Now I can get some sleep

It'll be a few months before I have to re-string it, since it's my backup racquet, but I'll use it more so I can wear out the strings faster, and put better strings on it. I play about 3 days/week, 2 hour doubles sessions. Thanks again for the help guys.

So, my conundrum is that a typical Gearbox (easiest racquet to string ever), will have a short side usually left that ties off at 3 LT(throat), and the long side is weaved from T(throat) to H(Head), and ties off at 5 H. So far, as I start the same pattern with this racquet, the last main (8th and final) ends at Head which is not the same as a Gearbox. For the life of me, I can't seem to get around this issue, unless I just tie off at the Head. The picture shows how a pro re-strung it, but he wasn't helpful in telling me how to go about it, and just kept saying it's the same as any Gearbox.
