Warren, You are partially correct. However, my system does not employ "over-shoots", (whatever that really is). To better understand it you need to read the article. I would like to add that, through a process of trial and error and string scale Breaking Strength calculations, thus is the basis for my system. I don't believe the "over-shoots" theory is valid and is/can be a greater source of breaking strings. I hate replacing strings, in the field! I'm going to search my archives and see if I have a workable copy of the article. If so, then I will be happy to send to any who are interested. (It is much too long to post on the list. Besides, I have too many that are "ticked" at me for whatever reason(s) in some of my previous posting(s). I don't want to anger the "Gods" again. <G> Joe
