Hopefully, you have the Prince flying clamps.
I don't even want to think about doing racquetball on the Neos 1000 without them!

BTW, I'm the only stringer at my Sports Authority and I have to fix bikes and sell tents too!

Saving grace?. We just got a new Prince 5000 and they were going to throw away the old Neos(!!!), so that's now in my home, along with my Eagnas Combo 810.

Stringway ML100

Averaging about 20 per month, as a home stringer. Is more a hobby than anything else. Would like to string more, but living in the country side doesn't benefit this hobby much. Majority of racquets are from local High School players who I offer a special stringing bargain.

Yes, I used the old flying clamps...

It strung very quickly as the pattern is extremely open.

old LaserFibre - it is exactly like the Stringway ML90 - almost 6 years old and still a great machine. Fixed double action clamps and a turn table break.

I don't really enjoy stringing as much as I used to, but I do love to try different setups and strings. Constantly cutting out strings.

Average 1-3 Racquets a week. Must be doing something right, my club is wanting to ditch their previous stringer and contract me.
