How do you count crosses and mains on a tennis racket?

Question

I am trying to string a Wilson Hyper Pro Staff 5.0 midplus 95, so I went to Wilson's homepage and looked up the stringing pattern and it says, "start stringing at the throat, mains skip 7H, 9H, 7T, and 9T. Tie off Ms at 6T. I know this means skip the 7th hole at the head but were to you start counting at the head and the throat of the racket to find which one is the 7th hole? Same for the crosses, were do you start counting at? My stringing instruction book and multiple websites didn't cover this, I'm sure it is easy, any help would be greatly appricated!

Answer 1

You have it right. The top two (head) are considered 1H and the bottom two (throat) are 1T.

Since you feed both sides of the string in the bottom or top the two holes are considered 1. So I feed my string into both holes on the top and begin with the right string. You go clockwise and skip the 7th hole (7H).
