Mike's break. As for your 4 break, impressive. I thought I was doing good by breaking 2 at a time. I guess I'll have set higher goals next time. haha

<p>If the grommet is the cause, just replace them, or get some string tubing to use in that spot. The tubing is a little easier to deal with, so that's what I use:</p>

<p>I'm not sure of a time frame of my strings breaking, because I've never timed it. But it seems like I'm always restringing my stuff. Thinking about getting a few more racquets just so I don't have to restring them immediately.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Normally I can get 5-6 sets out of a 15L gauge, and probably 3-5 sets with 16. I won't even use 17g anymore. I'd end up spending more time stringing than actually playing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've played 3 sets on my newest 15L prince topspin job, so I'm guessing it'll probably break at some point in the next match. Broke a string yesterday with the 15L, and I think it was the 2nd or 3rd match I'd played with that racquet. </p> If i was your stringer i woul…tag:tennisopolis.com,2011-05-15:1869403:Comment:5926002011-05-15T20:48:49.294ZAlan Christiansenhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/AlanChristiansen
If i was your stringer i would drill out that grommet and replace it. Strings just dont break there unless the ball hit the frame and crushed the string there(bad grommet) or the string was exposed on the outside of the frame and a court scrape did it. I always use head tape on my frames because i play on hard courts, and it always helps.

<p>I play around 3 times a week for 3-5 hours each time. On average I probably break strings twice every three weeks or so when I'm playing at that clip. </p>

<p>i just noticed the scratches on the frame where the string broke... it might also be the headguard not being deep enough so when the racquet "accidentally" scrapes the ground part of the string that's exposed gets scraped as well. </p>

Strings aren't supposed to pop near the grommet like that. I agree with those who said either bad grommet or stringer error. A legitimate string break would usually happen on the mains or the crosses near the center not near the frame like that.<br/>

it could also be your racquet stringer not adjusting the string clamps properly switching from a 17 gauge to a 16 gauge poly string job. so when he clamps the crosses which is closer to your grommet the string appears roughed up or almost square which weakens the clamped spot.

strange spot on the side like that, although the string looks roughed up, could just be a weak spot also. I have one kid who miss hits high on the head and breaks them quickly but not that spot. If I use 17g I get about 4-6hrs, 16g a little longer but big time tension loss.
