The suggestion of 48lbs for me is still too Tight. The Trick of stringing the racquet is that All Woodies are 18x20 stringing and you will need about 32/34 feet.. so knowing where to start the cross and knowing three shared holes on top & bottom is the Trick. I should have done 40lbs Tim
Yeah, not knowing the pattern ahead of time will make it really hard. 48 lbs is too tight? That's too bad, but it will probably relax over time or an hour of hitting.
