i emailed alpha today to explain the problem and got a reply within a couple hours saying the string is probably bad and offering to replace all the packs that broke on me. just wanted to post a little kudo to alpha for the great service they've provided to me over the past month with the...

thanks for the replies. one more thing before i let this thread die... to my knowledge i did everything the same on the successful jobs as i've been doing with the bad ones. i'm quite sure i'm never kinking the string, the clamps are properly adjusted, and the tension is correctly set (i...

thanks for the advice fellas. kevo's ideas are interesting, so i'll try them before possibly contacting alpha. i'm hedging my bet that kevo is right and i shouldn't be letting the string keep stretching on each pull. it just seems to keep stretching further and further until it thins out and...

george is gettin frustrated maybe some of yall could help with this problem i've been having. i just bought a new alpha pioneer dc plus (drop weight, fixed clamps) last month as my first personal stringing machine (some of the members here were a huge help to me in making the machine...

i see, i'll email them. i did plan to get myself a calibrator and calibrate the machine before my first string job since i don't know how much the "factory calibration" can be trusted. is it possible to calibrate without a turntable brake? could you maybe use some other fixed object to pull...

make it so thanks a ton, yall. the advice has been most helpful, and i've narrowed my choices down to the hercules 610 and the pioneer dc+. they both seem like the kind of machine i'm looking for at prices i can swing (barely), and it sounds like the extra 80 smackers for the alpha would be...

just out of curiosity, what kind of string tensions do woodies generally take? i have never had my slazenger restrung and it's not printed on the stick. one of my hitting partners and i like to play woody matches on occasion just for fun, so i may actually need to restring mine sometime soon...

thanks very kindly for the helpful replies. i'll give wilson pro a try. i know there's been a million recommendations posted here, but i found few if any posing the specific questions i have about the machines i'm considering. i found a couple vague posts about the mp hercules 610 with...

i've improved to the point where my strings break enough to make a stringer worth getting. never done any stringing before. i've done a lot of research including reading tons of helpful posts on this forum, and i'm looking to get a good quality, long lasting, frame friendly tennis racquet...
