Hard weave

Q: I am a new member trying to learn as I go. I have been asked to string an Ektelon racquet with a “hard weave” technique for the crosses. I have been unable to find a definition or description of “hard weave” in my Stringer’s Digest. For that matter, easy weave. Would you please enlighten my on what the terms mean.

A: Technically, a “hard weave” is when you install a cross string over raised main strings and under lowered main strings on frames with staggered grommets. However, some stringers also use “hard weave” to refer to installing a cross string over a main string that has been raised by an adjacent cross. It is described on page 41 of your Racquet Service Techniques book.
