Enjoyed this!

[@CKYew]

Awww, thank you!! I'm sure Alan will be happy to hear this too!! Have you checked out Part 1 czcams.com/video/_FW2LnSMwww/video.html ?

Awesome interview! I love to play badminton and am planning to take my passion to the next level learning more about strings and stringing. Hopefully, I will get to string my own rackets soon, like getting under the hood of the car and start tuning stuffs. What's the your advice for some one like me? What kinda patterns should I start with? Will my fat fingers mess up knots? Does the stringing machines matter? Cheers guys.

[@CKYew]

Heyyyyy, good to hear you’re enjoying the content!! I’ve got content which is exactly kinda planned for the questions you’ve just asked and I’m getting round to getting everything available to make them! And no, finger sizes won’t mess up knots 😂😂😊😊! Stringing machines are like cars, it depends on what you’re aiming for, just to get from A to B or you want to have the best features and ergonomics?? And budget forms a big part of the equation too!

What happened to the quickfire?!

[@CKYew]

I couldn't squeeze it in :( I might do a separate video about it if people are up for it! 🤔🤔🤔🤣
