Easily end coil memory
I hate fighting coil memory, so I found a way to get around it. I hang the string out straight with a three-pound lead weight attached as a load. If you don’t have a 40-foot-long room, attach one end of the string to an eyebolt at one end of your stringing area, loop the string around a one-inch dowel on the other side of the room, and then run the end back through the eyebolt. After one hour of stretching, I get zero coil memory. It takes about 15 seconds to attach the string, and will shave several minutes off each string job.
