Not a big sample size, but c'mon. Frames within 3 grams (0.1 ounces) of each other? And within 1/4 inch (2 points) balance difference? Not bad at all.
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. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/DSCF2421.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/DSCF2422.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...DSCF2430-1.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/DSCF2435.jpg __________________

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? ![]()

http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showt...=252252&page=4 It's a real pain getting photo's on here.

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.

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. Al Ruscelli 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.

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.

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.

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. Rl |

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. Rl |
