To Andy: I'll echo what everyone else has said, it's nice to see a company take such a vested interest and time to get so involved with the community. I've been out of the loop for a few years due to one thing or another, so I have just recently learned of the departure of the Prestige Mid...

It just means that the first racquet was strung 1 piece while the second racquet was strung 2 piece. Just two different types of methods but all in all the difference is minimal in terms of feel.

I purchased 2 Head Youtek Prestige Mids from TW and they were able to match all 4 stats including flex and matched both with only an inch or two of lead tape. I would say Head is by far better in quality control than Wilson or Head right now.

I do believe that the racquets were numbered in power. As in the Triad series for example, T1 was much more powerful than the T5 as well as the T4 being still noticeably more powerful than the T5. As far as the OPs question... It isn't really one as he is just referring to a generation of...

Not gonna bash you or anything but you still go around and giving advice and things that end up just stating exactly what the previous posters do. And if you have had the progression for close to 6 months than you should have more than enough experience to not post trivial questions ie starting...

I can tell you for a fact on racquets like the Pure Storm Ltd and the Youtek Prestige Mid, it is a tight fit for the first and last cross. You do have to push the mains out of the way to have it fit right.

I personally would opt for a Revo 4000 over a Pioneer DC+ for the fact that adding a wise is easy and such that the wise goes bad and you have to send it in for repairs, you have the crank to fall back on. It's not a permanent change, just temporary.

That's some awesome news right there. Glad we could be a help to you. And as far as advice in the future, you got it. Enjoy the machine, Zhou

Dude, do your own research. I spent 2 minutes using google and what I already know to find the page describing the apparatus. Google --> Alpha Tennis --> Stringway --> accessories --> the apparatus is on the bottom.

Bottom line, don't worry about how fast you string, I string in about 40 minutes for my Prestige Mids and I take care making sure I use proper technique. I don't string much anymore as I have other more important things to take care of. I rather have someone take 1 hr to string my racquet...

I find the mounting system to be just fine. I purchased mine from a very early batch when the very first few were being shipped over so I actually have two different mounts as they can be taken off and adjusted. I find them easy to use and it makes mounting a breeze. I talked with Mark regarding...

Good luck with your purchase. I bought my Apex II almost 2 years back and I have never looked back. Mark is a fantastic man to work with and made purchasing a breeze.

I find the Solinco Tour Bite and Vanquish hybrid to be nice at 54 lbs. I recommend putting Natural Gut at a minimum of 57 lbs. It flies at 54 lbs.

As far as strengths go, I really enjoy the solid feel of the racquet. But for this racquet especially, your technique has to be relatively solid as off center hits can result in a floater. The racquet makes you think about your movement as you really have to be able to have clean contact with...

We got a winner haha. But to answer the actual question. Star 4 for the portability, 5502 for its godliness, or the Wilson Baiardo. 5502 just takes the cake though.

I recommend the Alpha Pioneer DC+. If you are willing to put down the money, the Alpha Revo 4000.

Out of curiosity, what about the Youtek Prestige do you find to be unstable?

As far as what he is doing at the end, he is straightening the crosses.

1) wrong forum. 2) The real question is, what are you looking for in this stringing machine? Answer the following questions: - What is your budget? - How often do you plan on using the machine? - Do you plan on stringing for others?

I have pretty much fallen in love with the YouTek prestige line. Great racquets that are solid all around.

Only reason I don't think that is necessary is because most people use a leather grip if they are gonna replace the original. Also TW has already done a great job organizing the grip section.

I know it may be troublesome, but maybe adding the grommet purchases under the racquet section. So say you want Head grommets for say the Prestige Mid, you click on the head racquets section, then the Prestige Mid and have an option for ordering either the frame or the grommets.

I honestly hope you are joking...

From my experience, the sweet spot is pretty much already at the tip of the racquet considering 10 crosses are in like the first third of the racquet.

Read the post right before his.

I'm just ordered a set of Solinco Tour Bite and am gonna put it in one of my Prestige Mids at 54 lbs. The string comes Wednesday. I currently use what I have in my signature.

Seriously? Post something that is relevant to the topic, not repeating someone else's post. As far as Tonic vs VS, I personally use Tonic as it is cheaper. The playability of both are magnificent strings. Also all Babolat Natural Gut is high quality, so there is no question whether the...

The key isn't upping tension, it is being consistent. I personally don't change the tension and set it to what I want. So 54 lbs is 54 lbs. The key is that I am consistent when it comes to clamping. Stringing isn't only about the machine but the ability of the person using the machine. An...

No. Reels are not sealed as for ease of removing string.

Think about it.... Single action is quicker = Prince Neos 1000 (Glide Bars) Dual action is almost every other stringing machine out there ie: Alpha Revo 4000, Babolat Star 5. Some stringway models have single action glide bar clamps.
