Your string question
My string always breaks at one eyelet - what can I do?
Sandra's expert tip
Hit better and avoid frame hits 😉 – All joking aside...
The stringing is always very sensitive at the eyelets, because at the moment of contact with the ball the string cannot move at the edge and may be bent at the eyelet. In the worst case, and depending on the force of the ball contact (e.g. during impact), this can also happen with fresh strings. Before stringing, a good stringer checks whether the eyelets are still intact, because depending on their condition, the eyelet can tear and thus lose its protective function. If the eyelet is defective, a Teflon tube can help or, if available, replacing the entire eyelet tape.
If the bat is still very new, you could send the bat to the supplier.
