mildot,why would you ask us to agree about something when you have no earthly idea if its true or not. did he even tell you why he does that? the 400# part? i know, but do you? and no, i don't do it.
Gibblet,
I’m curious if you don’t pull 400 pounds on string because it’s your preferred method or is it that your equipment isn’t capable of doing it? Straight up question...will your equipment hold 400 pounds? From what I have been researching sounds like the 400 pound pull brings nothing negative to the table if you’re using the 452X. Since it takes out the break in period of the string, I see that as a good thing. That alone would eliminate many of the issues you brought up earlier.
As far as the 200 pounds hold weight on serving, I was under the impression that this is done so that when the serving is complete and the tension is backed down, the serving will then relax and be drawn tight against each wrap to help hold it in position. I’m not trying to step on any toes here…I want to learn how to do this stuff myself for future growth and knowledge of this industry. Just seems that 400 and 200 would be an all around good starting point. Relax!
