Looks great. Who makes this stringer?

Ash_Smith · 09-29-2010, 04:42 AM

^^^ It's a Silent Partner Opus in the US, over here it's branded as a Tyger, who are a big European Tennis brand. It's manufactured in Taiwan by one of the usual OEM suspects! Touch wood so far it has been impeccable and is incredibly well put together (fantastically heavy!).

Cheers

Great looking machine, Ash--really nice.

Ash_Smith · 09-29-2010, 05:11 AM

^^^Cheers, it makes my 30+ year old Ektelon DE sit in the corner feeling very sorry for itself!

^^Great machine Ash. I have a buddy who owns the Opus. As you say, it is fantastic and very well built, although his has drawers for storage. Not sure if yours includes the drawers and you opted to not put them in.

Ash_Smith · 09-29-2010, 05:46 AM

^^^ Hey Rick, yeah, mine has the drawer but the whole lot weighs a ton anyway so it's easier to transport to events with out the drawer attached!

How married life treating you?!

Ash

drakulie · 09-29-2010, 05:52 AM

^^hahah. Married life is good. We are preparing to buy a place at the tennis club where we met, so are very excited. Other than that, been stringing like crazy, including at the Nike National at Cris Everts tennis Academy a few weeks ago.

Here is my buddies Opus. He was stringing my kps88: His screen name is MDQM.

My stringer is not quite as nice, but my view wins!!

drakulie · 09-29-2010, 08:45 AM

^^Great view.

How do you like those base clamps?? Are they solid, smooth, etc?? I was thinking of buying a pair as a back up pair for my babolat Star 4.

jim e · 09-29-2010, 08:46 AM

Well; heres my view from the window just next to my machine. I could move the machine out on the deck like you do, but thats not too practical, especially in the winter!

the clamps are fine, although i'm sure they're not as smooth as some of the "finer" units. other than glide bars and floaters, they are the only ones i've used.

ignorance is bliss.

tbuggle,

Congrats on your machine and a view few can afford.

Ash_Smith · 09-29-2010, 12:15 PM

Hmm, can't compete with those views, may have to fire up the G4 and get some photoshop action on the go!!!
