I'm sure at a 10% markup in price, racket companies can go back to their old methods and place their frames in different weight ranges.....bring back the L, L-M, M, M-H and H designations.....but this time 13.3 ounces is H and not L-M.

Pic's of my Comet 11/Wise set up.

Base clamps-Silent Partner/DG
Clamps-Silent Partner Aria/Opus
Mounting system, table, stand-Comet 11
Tension Head-Wise 2086

I'm going to try and send some to Al & get them on Photo Stronger. It's a nice set up. I've come to the conclusion that the Eagnas base clamps suck.

Geez, it's not easy getting photos on here. When you click on the insert image toggle, your option is to insert a URL address.
Any suggestions?

Ahh..I got it. I copied & pasted my whole thread from "Wise 2086-Tell us your experience" and the link's didn't copy.

It's a real pain getting photo's on here.

Thanks, thats a nice set up. Did you do anything special to get the 360 degree rotation? Also only three out of the four pics work, the top one doesn't.

I went to the auto supply store and got a wheel barring and put it under the table. The frame in the pic is my nBlade and has a 4-1/4 grip size. The height of the table accommodates every grip size I've encountered so far.

I am not sure he is actively maintaining that site any longer. I sent him some photos of my SAM Pro-Master last Fall - he never replied, and the photos never appeared on the site.

Take care.

I e-mailed Al 2 or 3 weeks ago and this was his reply:

Hi, Dan
Yes, I still accept them for eventual inclusion on the site. I can't currently make any promise on timelines to get them incorporated (due to my work schedule), but I have been accumulating (and still wish to accumulate) more photos to go on the site.

Stringing Machine Photo Library

Al has a pretty cool site with a lot of photo's. I'm sure it's like anything you start that ends up being good. It gets bigger than you. I started a Community Tennis Association about 4 years ago in the town I live in. I thought we'd have a few USTA league teams and 50 members or so. There is now about 400 members and 50 teams. Good things tend to morph into real good things.

Good to know! Thanks for the update. Perhaps my photos are in the stash he has been accumulating. IMO, his site is a very valuable resource for stringers and people looking to buy new machine, and I hope he can continue to maintain it.

Take care.

Here's a picture of my little baby. After using an Eagnas lockout machine for the past 4 years, I can really now appreciate the quality of good clamps and parts. Granted, I dont string too many racquets. Just string for myself and friends, but I really enjoy stringing as a hobby and just thought I would treat myself to something better having used something so bad for all these years.

Nice!! This is a beautiful machine. I'm green w/envy. Was it expensive?

[william7gr]

^^^^^ That machine looks AWSOME!!! I have never seen one like that before.

hi

It cost $6400aud. It is a nice machine and love the little things which it has like the electronic brake.

That was one of the reasons why I purchased this machine. The clamps and overall parts are totally awsome. I had a choice of purchasing the star 5 and I know the star 5 is top of the class machine but just wanted something a bit more unique looking.

hi jm

It is a dream to string on this machine. The clamps are great and extremely stable and solid. One of the best features that I also love about this machine is the automatic tension head raising. As you tension the string the tension head raises automatically which reduces friction as it gets pulled through the gromett.

Thanks for the compliment.

I was looking around on the internet, the gosen machines seems to have the same logo, yours is Xtreme Sports right? are they made by the same manufacturer?

Thanks for posting that pic. Mine is the xtreme sports that's correct. I was speaking to the distributor and he did say that a new model will be released called the rxv3 later this year which will have cosmetic differences and so e extra additional features.

The machine that you posted looks like what the new model will look like. That machine looks totally awsome. Wish I waited but for a home stringer I don't think it would matter as much.
