Wise 2086 as a Pro Tensioner

[dgdawg]

I'm interested to know if there's anybody out there that uses a Wise 2086 in a pro shop, or as a tensioning system on a professional stringer?
My mobile set up is: the new 6004 table, mounted on a Gamma X-ELS base with a Wise mounted to that base as well. It's actually a really sweet, little compact powerhouse.

I know I know, quit rolling your eyes lol... I'm still obviously still sitting on the fence here. I love my 700, and I love my 6004 mobile build. Due to health issues, I really need downpress clamps and I'm just trying to figure out what's going to be my personal best way to go. I'd really like one rig I can use in my basement as a stand up machine, or break it down quickly, take it on the road and do some mobile stringing when needed......BUT, I WILL NOT jeopardize quality in an effort to achieve what I'm looking for. I'd love to know some professional stringers thoughts.

(if I could figure out how to get pictures on this damn site, I'd drop a pic of this build. I'd also take some advice on that)

For the pictures you need to upload to an image hosting site (imgur is a popular one) and then paste the link here.

For the question, you may wish to qualify what you mean by professional. ATP level? ITF? A shop who serves anyone who walks in with a racquet and some cash? It will probably make a difference to the responses.

Certainly the WISE is good enough (as a tensioner, but mounted on what?), but I doubt you’ll EVER see any pro (ATP/WTA) tournament stringers using such.

Kind of a loaded question.

As a pro shop machine, no question it is just fine (many are still using a Neos/lockout).

You don’t seem like someone that the topic is going to really concern…

Remember, it’s much more about the archer than it is the bow/arrow.

Here I was thinking you were on the road to doing a little modification and putting down-press clamps on the 6004 setup…

I'm going to......long story, and people are obviously tired of listening to my act so I'm just saying.... I'm 90% sure I am going to put down press clamps on my 6004 table

Sweet. Since it’s already been done and I’m also interested….. please report back regarding your success.

I will..... I'm 95% sure I'm going to put those bases on my 6004 table.

Reading my OP's, I neglected to specify...... I wasn't necessarily asking if "it can be done", although that's how I phrased it. I've read and viewed vids of it being done. I was more interested in learning how well they actually work on the 6004 table. Do they glide as well as the bases that come with the 6004. Mine is less than a year old. It's an upgraded version. The table/towers/clamp bases come from the same factory as the Baiardo. The table on the 6004 is "bead blasted" and the clamp bases are designed with this in mind and are as smooth as butter.
Anyway, I'll gladly post my experience and opinion after I've done it.
