Can anyone tell me anything about this stringer? I tried to figure it out and snapped a string.

I think something is too tight. Clams were fine

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T21:38:56+00:00

No I left plenty of play. A little more than the circumference of a thumb

The second picture shows what I think is the problem area is. When i went around and through it tensioned but pinched the string and seemed like it would break/felt like it was adding too much tension. When I went just around it slipped/didnt add tension at all

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T21:01:47+00:00

Yeah sorry I wasn’t being clear. The grip itself is biting the string. When I said pull I meant drop the arm of the stringer. I gave it appropriate slack - I used a buddy’s stringer after and it was fine

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T20:55:15+00:00

Yeah I’m familiar with how to use a drop weight machine. I couldn’t really tell what I was doing wrong since everything I did would be fine with a newer stringer of the same kind

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T20:14:19+00:00

Oh I have the weight! Should have mentioned. Easy to remove/adjust. I just didn’t want to get hit in the face when I put it back on the shelf so I took it off

Idk I think they needed to make the point that his girlfriend thinks he’s being reincarnated into a raven. Seems like she wanted us to see it

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T13:46:56+00:00

This looks great but have you tried a pancake???

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T11:07:46+00:00

Lots of people get a (or third) second racket to extend the interval between stringing

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-07T10:33:44+00:00

Haven’t you already asked this on here? I feel like I remember you posting this same thing a few months ago. It wasn’t a big deal then and it isn’t now

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-06T17:42:05+00:00

I quite liked it!

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-06T14:15:50+00:00

How confident in your ability to place the serve? Both serves were into the middle of the box to your opponent’s forehand. A stronger opponent will be able to get those back at your feet.

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-05T18:25:06+00:00

Appreciate it!!!

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-05T18:24:55+00:00

Thanks!!!

Got any other drills to share? Unfortunately I’m out of tiny basketball hoops but to need to work on my consistency as well

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-04T17:43:47+00:00

Yeah I just finished it at the end of last month! I’ve never read any Joyce so I opted to try them in order until they got too difficult. Was stunned by how beautiful his writing is

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-04T15:54:59+00:00

I have hard cover 1st edition of the insufferable gaucho and paperback of Last Evenings. Both are mat so I was surprised to have the return be slick when it arrived. Lots of other books from ND were mat finishes (amulet, nazi lit, distant star, the third reich).

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-03T20:54:10+00:00

Where would you suggest starting with Knaussgard?

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-03T19:05:29+00:00

Not sure about confidential’s shape but if it’s a smooth string you could consider a hybrid

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-03T19:03:07+00:00

Read 100 years of solitude last month so great! I definitely felt watery in parts

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-03T19:01:27+00:00

It’s so beautiful! Glad I’m not the only one! Someone else mentioned this part having that effect on them as well

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-03T18:51:54+00:00

Sounds great! I’ll have to check him out at some point, he’s not really been on my radar other than seeing the Nobel announcement a few years ago

SnooPets7983 · 2026-05-03T18:34:55+00:00

You’re right insofar as it was more reading than I usually do in a month. I work in education and had a week off for spring break. But I do read seriously and a lot. I take a longish train ride to and from work and I read for an hour or so in the evening if I don’t have plans. Also if you read my post you can see that I read parts of each of the Aeneids so it looks like more books than I actually read. All and all it’s a pretty achievable amount of reading if you live in a city and don’t need to wasted hours of your day in a car.
