Everyone complaining how this is "free" advertising must be playing with rackets that are all one solid color without any discernible writing or logos on any part of it. It's not painfully difficult to identify what kind of racket someone is using from one court away with or without a stencil... You all must also be using other tennis equipment/gear without any sort of logos on them - no Nike checks, no Adidas stripes, no Asics or Babolat lines, etc. Smh
I'm kinda no free advertising guy. No car dealer bumper sticker on my car, no tattoo on my body, no brand stencil on my strings, clothes with smallest symbol i can find. So unless they pay me to advertise, no way i'm going extra length for that.
I don't get why people stencil their rackets if they aren't sponsored or paid to do so. You've spent all this time finding the right string and tension, but decide to cover it in paint?
I used a babolat stencil ink to put a white W on my confidentials and let it dry overnight. This created a coat of paint over the strings (not actually stain the string) that got rubbed off after 4 sessions of play. That's actually not that worst part. The worst part is the way the paint dried up made the strings stick together where the main and crosses meet. For the first hour of play my ball was flying everywhere because the strings where stuck together. Maybe this works better on other string types but definitely does not work on confidentials
Hi. How can I remove the extra ink on the racquet. I over did it and some ink went into the frame. What should I use to remove them.? thanks for your advice.
I would like to ask for some advice on deciding whether or not I put stencils on my rackets. I am one of the guys who think stencil ink could somewhat affect string-to-ball and string-to-string friction values, which is closely related to spin potential and playability because strings in the stencil part are obviously coated all around with stencil ink. For example, RPM blast is known for its' special coating technology on the surface to make more spin potential. Doesn't stencil ink affect performance in a bad way at all?
You’re freaking me out.... just as I purchase a stencil, you release a video...... 🎼 “ da da da da, you entered into the dimension of the Twighlight Zone 🎼 Sorry but I think you need to go back to your stencil BA course... you should have had the top of the W on a line..... thank god I don’t get you to do mine..... you would be very expensive because I too would get you to do it again.....
How often do you have to restencil these? I find that after one hitting session all the inks are gone and I have to redo it. I’ve used the babolat and turna black ink with similar results.
That all depends on how much/often you hit the balls with the logo. I advice Head racquets myself. The Head logo is way out of the way of the sweet spot, so you won't hit (and smudge) the string logo as much as many of the other brands (if you're lucky ;-) ).
@@ivanmichel6832 They do, they come with the logo. Can you not see the difference between buying a branded product and adding a logo with zero utility to your product so you can play pretend that you’re a big boy player on the ATP tour? It’s so embarrassing.
@@TomSmith-gw6fn What utility does the logo on your shoes add when the manufacturer does it? It is an aesthetic. Similarly, many people like to add the stencil logo for aesthetic to match the brand of the racquet. Who are you to judge?
Hi I respect your work and Chanel.Would it be possible once à month to put a spin and recreate a pro tennis 🎾 recreation and collaborate with people who have the information if you don't have it or with viewers.
Are new rackets off the shelf with the manufacturers symbol on the factory strings just stenciled in the same way? Are new strings that you buy from for example Babolat or Wilson already printed with their symbol etc or does it need to be requested or done manually?
From your experience, would it be better to use the stenciling ink or maybe even use car spray paint to paint the strings? I don't want it to fade after the first game.
Spray paints usually leave marks on the tennis balls (been there, done that!). If you use Wilson / Yonex stencil ink you can immediately play after you've put on the logo and it leaves zero marks on the balls 👌.
@@abdurrahmanshah6069 The stencil ink wears of pretty quickly if you hit a lot of balls on the string logo. Spray paint lasts longer BUT is not an actual option in reality (IMO), because it gets black or red stripes all over the tennis balls. It just doesn't completely dry, I think, so it keeps rubbing off on the balls, no matter how long you wait before using the racquet.
Don't even bother with poly strings, lasts 2 min. Badminton strings handle stencils much much more nicely. Tennis multifilaments are okay but still not great
I agree with Groth, either do it right or don't bother at all. It's no hassle at all to get it the right way up. It takes one second to look at the butt cap, that's all. I get that it's a personal preference if you like to have the brand logo on your strings or not. I like it. So I stencil my racquets the right way. Just like Sam Groth would.
For starters you don't want something cheap that'll flake off after one hit. You also don't want to use acrylic which is thicker (and heavier) and could have an affect on the ball and strings itself. You want something thin. If you use blank ink you could away with a sharpie instead of buying specific ink but if you need white it gets trickier to use a non-paint marker that isn't thick.
Models don't get refreshed every year... At best you can expect a new paint job but the racket itself doesn't get refreshed until about 2-3 years after release. Nadal's racket now is just a "Rafa" paint job of the banana Pure Aero that came out in 2019 that he already used. Maybe this year or next there will be an entirely new Pure Aero (technology-wise) model released but yeah, rackets last a few years between new generations.
Is it ok if I paint the strings with a permanent marker? Not in the striking zone (sweet spot), but below where there no contact with the ball. Does it affect performance o or the life of the strings? I was thinking about the 2 lines at the bottom like pete sampras' racquet
Could you do a video of how to customise a Pro Staff 97L v13? It has a thicker 23mm beam, but a tad light at 290g. Is it possible to increase the swing weight to approximately 325g?
I think roughly every 1g of lead you add at 12 o'clock position, the swing weight increases by 5g. For every 2g of lead combined at 3 and 9 will increase SW by 5g. So you may want to spread the lead at 9, 3 and 12 position depending on how you feel comfortable with your balance.

I will just reverse the butt cap to do the trick if the stencil does not match !
the frame will not match
Would red ink work on black string?
How can you paint the entire thing
Does ink prevent string sliding?
No
Do you have to use white strings to stencil?
No, you can stencil on any string colour, just use a stencil ink colour that stands out
Where do you buy custom stencil?
I got one from Tennis Warehouse
Raquetart.com
I don’t even need ink, I just put the stencil down on the strings and fart on it, that usually does the trick
Yes, but people don’t want craters in their racquets from your supersonic nasty farts.
I agree with sam
If my strung racquet dosent have the logo stenciled on it, it just looks wrong. Like there is something missing
I'm a no stencil kind of dude; the crap it does to the balls...

The stencil makes you feel a part of the team of the company and the player that's your role model.
The Fudge wrong with people. It’s only a stencil! Not like you’re sponsored by them. I personally hate stencil, the ink leaves lines on the balls.
every time for the introduction, does it not feel like he wants to say: "where we put our spin on your balls"?
Approximately how many racquets can be done with one ink in general, does anyone know?
Has anyone ever noticed that the strings dont seem to slide as well with ink
I don't get why people stencil their rackets if they aren't sponsored or paid to do so. You've spent all this time finding the right string and tension, but decide to cover it in paint?
Ink doesn’t effect the strings or tension
If you have to ask if the Wilson needs to be aligned then you probably shouldn't be stenciling 🤣😁👍👊
Perfect timing.
Can you do a video on how pros decide what tension to string at for a certain temperature day?
There’s no standard.
Why is this guy barking at me?
The problem is, the colour goes away in 10 minutes in a match...just fades away

Stencil really effects to the strings when u take a spin and effect directly to your sense. I think no need to use it.

Which stencil ink you like the best? I see you are using Gamma! almost all of them wear off quickly! Babolat was the worst one.
I will do it if the tennis racquet sponsor will give me a free racquet.
Though I like doing it free hand cause if comes out wrong it's funny. If not it's pretty cool.
Love the channel!
Could you please make a review vid about budget stringing machines. Range of 200-400usd
Thanks.
personally i want to stencil mine but the shit it does to the ball..... I dont like to hit orange balls
When the ink wears off on the strings, is it fine to restencil the strings over the previous ink?
No, you have to restring and put on new stencil.
It’s fine to restencil over the ink.
No, you have to buy a new racquet

Depends on the colour
I think stencil is distracting to play with, unless a sponsor pays me to have it on, I wouldn’t care for it.
If a stencil distracts you you should probably work more on your technique lol
What kind of ink is that?please suggest me
I mean u could just turn the butt cap around🤷
Maybe the other side was stenciled correctly 😅
No, that is illegal and against regulations.
I agree with Groth, either do it right or don't bother at all. It's no hassle at all to get it the right way up. It takes one second to look at the butt cap, that's all.

Dead serious 💀
U could’ve just spin the buttcap around to match the stencil.

Does it affect performance o or the life of the strings? I was thinking about the 2 lines at the bottom like pete sampras' racquet
It’s fine
But the two lines on Sampras racquet was due to him using babolat natural gut, so it was a sponsorship reason.
