    Thanks for the insight. Sounds like the technology has some room for improvement.

    Yonex Precision 9.0 Stringing Machine

    3. Never seen on in real life but the Babolat racket station ultimate link seems like the most advanced machine money can buy. Specifically because of the electromagnetic clamps. Not sure how well they work since it looks like they are not offered with the evolution / evolution tour models. Or...

    Complemental accessories to Gamma X-6FC

    At least you tried. I agree with everyone else, I’ve only ever strung while standing. Good decision on getting the gamma stand. Expensive but well worth it since it’s made for the machine and serves the purpose well. Believe it or not, I once tried this alternative...

    How to adjust gripper plates on a NEOS stringer

    Was the tension mechanism ever disassembled? Just throwing out ideas but you might be missing some bearings. The bearings sit on a gradient slot on the grippers. When pressed forward the gradient causes the plates to close. Another possibility, were the gripper plates installed incorrectly...

    Complemental accessories to Gamma X-6FC

    Dodo- excellent choice on the machine. all the hand tools are already listed above. I would recommend xuron or craftsman mini pliers and cutters. For craftsman you don’t need the who set. Just the shorter needle nose and the diagonal cutters. I didn’t see this mentioned, but do you have plan...

    Stringing Machine Recommendation

    Have you considered the gamma progression 602 FC? It’s a drop weight machine so The wise mounts right on to the base of the machine. The conversion looks and feels more like an OEM electric machine vs the wise / crank conversion. After selling your alpha if it’s worth anything, you’ll only be...

    Stringing Machine Recommendation

    I strung on one for a college team and it held up well. It handled 4-10 racquets everyday. The tensioner is heavy duty. Never had issues. Very little maintenance. Even the racquet mount pads held up. The one complaint I have are the clamp bases. They are easy to over tighten. When you do, I...

    I got a Baiardo L yay!

    Congratulations! Out of curiosity, did the previous owner happen to tell you why they sold the machine? I wonder why with only 300 frames on the machine they decided to sell it. Has it been confirmed that the xpider clamps will fit on this machine without modification or special ordering?

    Large racquet stringing help

    - thank you for finding a video showing the adaptor. I also think highly of the adaptor because I own an alpha ghost 2 and was not able to mount an eforce racquetball racquet. Alpha doesn’t have any solutions for this issue. The adaptor is a great solution because only a small percentage of...

    Large racquet stringing help

    Based on Wes’s experience sounds like the mounting towers were not adjusted all the way out. Loosen the screw at the base of the tower to max them out. Hope this comment helps in someway: the Babolat star 3 machines had a 6:00 throat extender. Best way I can describe it is a tuning fork like...

    The Nike Vapor Tribute Thread

    Some memories: - anyone remember the weird chicken pox issue that happened on the vapor 6? The shoes clear upper would develop light red spots over time. I believe it was due to contact with sweat. - if you ever get your hands on a pair of vapor speeds, don’t wear them or at least don’t wear...

    Nike 2024 General Thread

    the color of the shoes clashed with tiafoe USO outfit. They stood out to me. Any other thoughts about the new model? I’m interested if it has a full length zoom like the gp turbos. Is it just me or does the shoe look like it has severe heel drop? This shoe looks like a running shoe (nike...

    Anyone buying the leather version to play in? Im wondering if the leather produces and pressure points. Also with the toe guard being leather, how does it hold up?

    Babolat packaging plastic

    Is it common knowledge that if you remove the back label from the Babolat string pack the string comes out easily? Unless this is no longer true. To me the Babolat packaging is a great example of attention to details. Also well as for the look being more premium. If the string packs bother...

    Do you need to reset the lockout machine to zero pounds after you use it?

    How long ago did you purchase the model H and how much did it cost? I have sitting around that needs a new home. OP: All the replies here are valid. To sum it up, In theory zeroing can prolong the life of the spring. In practice, the spring will most likely outlast all other parts of the...

    Head Speed Pro 2022 vs Wilson Pro Staff 97 v14

    Lots of selection now in all black color. Wilson has the noir line and head just released the black/ grey speed line. For me it’s hard to compare the ps97 and speed. The people that I’ve met would never switch between these to frames. Stated in other words the person who likes the speed would...

    No love for the Pure Strike

    Agree with all the comments above especially that Babolat focuses on the drive and aero as their flagship. I didn’t see this mentioned but similar specd frames are a crowded market. It’s like picking toothpaste or spaghetti sauce. For what ever reason (not simply because it’s better) the blade...

    Nike Zoom GP Turbo official thread.

    Thank you everyone for reporting on the sizing. The last GPT pair I wore were men’s retro Agassi colorway. They started out small in the toe box and smaller to size (seems like due to extra cushioning in the uppers). From the comments, sounds like they fit the same or similar. In the past or...

    2 point mounting system dangerous?

    That is an over dramatization. Both mounting systems have survived the test of time. If used correctly, your life or limbs are not at risk with a 2 point system. Exploding racquets are mainly caused by stringing compromised frames, improper technique ( pre, during or post stringing) or stringing...

    Best strings Pure Strike 18x20 III GEN ?

    I agree with Casper. Thin, soft poly feels the best in a dense pattern frame. I’m indifferent about the texture or shape of the poly. I would also recommend Tour bite soft or poly tour pro neon yellow in 17g or 18g.

    Is it worth getting "budget" natural guts?

    Last I’ve tried knock off natural gut was 10 years ago. Same story then. In consistent guage. The string was not coiled together well you could unravel it easily. And yes it broke during installation or during the first hit. Due to the poor quality I never dared to string it with high tension...

    CB 10 pro, CB 14 pro or something else? Stringing machine experiences needed.

    I’ve never come across that brand but it looks like a carbon copy of Gamma machines. The CB 10 pro is a copy of the gamma progression II 602FC. It’s a great machine. Excellent choice of upgrading it with a wise head. When you do that it feels like a factory built electric machine as opposed to...

    Help! Multiple cracks on top of racquet

    Just like DAK said, if the machine has 6 pt mount, you must use all 6. NEOs 2 pt has a unique design where it secures the racquet at 12 & 6 by pinching it. If you prefer 2 pt mount, Gamma has options for their machines and prince 7000 machine has a 2 pt mount option. I believe that turn table...

    Head Speed MP Strings

    I’m still searching too. I’ve tried YPTP neon yellow, tour bite, confidential and sonic pro edge.all play great but I think I’m looking for something stiffer. I like higher tension to get more consistency / control from the string bed. For lead. I have placed 3- 4 grams on 12:00 to get a...

    Neos new glide bars?

    Curtennis- if I’m reading correctly, JC states that there is no way to refurbish the clamps? Did you try cleaning the clamps and bar? Or you can do a band aid fix for now. Maybe stick some over grip on the clamps to help them hold. I figure it’s worth a shot while you are waiting to order new...

    2019 & 2016 Aero grommets interchangeable?

    Are the 2019 pure aero grommets interchangeable with the 2016 pure aero? Referring to the standard 100 sq in 10.6oz model. I don’t see any grommets available for the 2016 aero

    alpha revo 4000 metal tensioner bar advice

    Did the seller say anything about how it happened? I have never seen that type of damage before. I’m guessing the it was dropped and landed square on the tension track.
