Help your starting knot

The knot at the start of the cross strings, when two-piece stringing, can sometimes get pulled into the grommet when you tension the first cross string. This especially happens if you’re using a 17- or 18-gauge string. Before you apply tension, place a starting clamp on the tail of the knot. You’ll find you won’t lose half the knot in your grommet, and you’ll have better tension accuracy on the first cross string.
