    How long does it take to string a racquet?

    I string on a Gamma X-2, and I have also toyed with the idea of getting a stringer with more features. I always ask myself if it is worth it to spend the extra money to save a little time? So far, it is not worth it to me. It takes me 35-45 minutes depending on the type of string. The more I...

    Gamma 200 or Klippermate?

    I've used both. A quick summary: Klippermate seems to have better clamps, metal/vice grip types. Gamma uses composite clamps. Edge goes to Klipper here. Gamma has a ratcheting tensioner, klipper does not. Edge to Gamma here. Both are made really well and both will produce reliable...

    Table for machine?

    I use a folding card table for mine: The table supports the stringer easily and is light enough to move where ever I want and also easy to store when not in use. I also put anti slip material that is used under rugs on wood floors so the stringer wont move: The specs on most tables...

    Stringway/Laserfibre Customer Service Rant

    Go for an Eagnas, I hear their support is top notch. J/K.. If money were no option, I'd get a babolat electronic like a star 5. If I'm on a budget for a constant pull tabletop stringer, I'd get an Alpha DC plus. Keep in mind that you can always upgrade to a Wise electronic head later.

    Any chance your play was different after 3 sets of doubles(energy, concentration, etc.)? I know I'm not the same player after 3 sets, regardless of the strings. Just a little food for thought.

    problems with pure storms?

    Now I have had issues with the specs being different. I've learned my lesson and worked out a deal with my babolat dealer to get matched frames. Some an be 5-7 grams off and feel like a different racket.

    Tourna Big Hitter Black 7

    I hated it in a full bed, I tried 60/55/50 and my arm hurt after playing with each one. I was expecting it to feel softer than BHBR, but that's not what I felt at 60. It felt pretty boardy at 60, but felt much better at 50. More plush feel, but not as crisp as I would like. I decided to try a...

    New stringer ... please be gental

    My first bit of advice(i post this every time)is to invest in a starting clamp. They are so useful. Learn the pro or Parnell knot to tie off, they are much easier after you learn them. Make sure you weave one cross ahead, it will make it much easier to weave the crosses and it also makes it...

    How many knots?

    Stick with the starting clamp, trust me--your string jobs with the X2 will be much more consistent. The tensioning bar doesn't have to drop when you release the starting clamp, or even after you clamp/reclamp the floating clamp closest to the starting clamp. For the last cross, I use a scrap...
