Thank you, I will.

@Gamma Tech can you see my photos?

I took photos this weekend. I'll try the gunk clean out recommended by @Gamma Tech . As you can see, there's a 1/2 inch gap on one side when the other side makes contact with the frame. I tightened it down until it made contact at all points, but it's uncomfortable and I don't want to think I'm...

Thank you, Wes. I'll poke around and see if I can find a spring missing.

I'm the proud new owner of a not-so-new Gamma 6500 ELS and having come from an Ektelon Model H, there's a lot different about this machine that I haven't dealt with in my 10+ years of stringing. Specifically, the 4 mounting points that aren't at 6 and 12 do not contact the frame uniformly. One...

@Gamma Tech I'm the proud new owner of a not-so-new Gamma 6500 ELS. Can you help me understand what I should expect from the 2/10 and 7/4 o'clock mounting points? One side hits the side of the racket before the other and when I tighten it up to get firm contact on both sides, I feel like I'm...

What gauge did you receive? 17G Tension used for playtest: Full bed at 45 lbs. Regular string set up: Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 (17g) @ 40 lbs. Racquet used for test: HEAD Graphene XT Prestige Pro Power: I thought the power on ground strokes to be higher than I'm used to. I was hoping that...

What is your recommendation for tension, assuming this has any similarity to the v-torque you're familiar with? I like my Tourna BHB7 strung LOW at 40-42 lbs. But I always get nervous about stringing these test strings so low since it took a number of trials for me to find the tension I liked...

Tension used for playtest: 50 lbs. Regular string set up: I had experimented a lot with strings and tensions before landing on Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 (17g) a couple years ago. I string at a low tension of 40 lbs. Racquet used for test: Head Youtek Speed MP (16x19) leaded up to 12 oz...

What a great way to reach the community! Thank you for doing this. I have a question that has perplexed me about the different string patterns: I prefer a 16x19 set up vs 18x20, but I also notice that on a lot of the racquets I string, the spacing of the middle strings is generally tighter...

Ditto. I don't understand the obsession with mounting points. Your racquet would have to be REALLY screwed up in order for the head and throat mounts to be insufficient. Or, maybe you're considering pulling 120 pounds on your crosses...

Installation was a piece of cake. I had been stringing on the glide bars for a couple years, so I didn't know what I was missing. Now that I have the swivel clamps stringing is so much more enjoyable. My glide bars were starting to bind once in a while which just aggravates. I think, like...

Late to the game here, but that's a pretty machine. A legit successor and cousin to my Ektelon Model DE. This winter, I upgraded my set up with the Swivel Clamp kit and have to say that I can't imagine I could ever need another machine given the level of stringing I do. Put this on your...

Declined as an ambassador, as well. As was my playing partner. Too bad.

I got the email saying that they're choosing 16 ambassadors out of 25,000 applicants! Wow. That's some enthusiasm!

My favorite updated carol: All I Want for Christmas is my Babolat Ambassador Notification!

Thanks for getting this thread going. I'm a big fan of HEAD. The Penn Marathon balls are the best. My favorite racquet is my Youtek Speed MP 16x19 that I've leaded up to over 360 grams. I love the flex, the spin access, and the plow through with the extra mass. A question for you (and I...

Sounds good. I hope our enthusiastic involvement here wouldn't preclude us from participation among the 'general pop.'

Has anyone been selected as a Babolat Ambassador? I saw a Facebook ad the other day and decided to sign up. Don't know the odds of being selected though.

One thing I forgot to mention in my review, but i would like to get others' comments on: why, on these $200+ sticks do the manufacturers not include a piece of rubber worth mere pennies in order to complete the package?? Please restart the practice of including dampeners! Please!

Tennis experience/background: Played regularly for the last 10 years. Usually part of a couple doubles leagues and a singles league throughout the year. I play 4.0 doubles and 3.5 singles in the very active Atlanta tennis community. I have participated in a number of Talk Tennis playtests...

Thanks for the reference. I'll keep an eye out next time around.

I lost control of the SpiralTek and decided to string it this weekend with the supplied RPM Blast. The spin was impressive. I have a stringing question though: Only when I was done did I realize that the grommets and head guard must require stringing in a specific direction. The head guard...

10/13/2015: I'm really liking this frame. The aesthetic is beautiful! It is eye-catching and sharply designed. I have played (and won) two matches, and attended a practice over the last week and the racquet has performed really well in all situations. The Spiraltek strings are fine, but I am...

Good to know. I get nervous each day that I don't have a delivery.

WOW! That's a great selection. Thanks!

So excited! Is it going to come strung, or should I get a fresh set ready??
