    First time stringing with LUX BB Alu Pwr Rough?

    Dark Blue I have been trying to get this info myself. Unfortunately, the forum is full of conflicting information about whether the BB Alu rough is in the crosses or mains. Also the tension is up in the air. I am not a very good tennis player. In the 3.5 to 4.0 range and I...

    Wow!! Laserfibre price increases!

    Wonder_wall I appreciate the comments and the rational basis for your arguments. It helps me understand the different stringing machines better and feel good about my choice of a Laserfibre ms200dx. However, when you makes these points, diplomacy is not your forte. You are doing a favor...

    How much does LaserFibre MS200TT cost?

    prince neos is about 1200-1300. The Laserfibre ms200dx is about 1500 with DA clamps with constant pull and is a upright stringer and has a $100 credit towards new strings. This would make it a better value that the prince neos with an upgrade with wise tension head. Just a thought...

    Laserfibre - Tim Rocks!

    Barry I am glad that you like the Eagnas machine and I am happy for you that your are satisfied. However, why are you picking up fight by criticizing LF in a thread that has no relevance to Eagnas. We agree to disagree, so why keep pointing out the difference in a discourteous way.

    Why should everyone consider buying a Laserfibre

    Cruzer You make and important point. A Gamma Stringer with a Wise tension head is a constant pull machine and may be very good. I have no experience with it but respected authority -Hillix says it is good and I believe him. The LS MS200DX is a very unique constant pull mahince. It is an...

    On a positive note here are the reasons 1. Great build quality. 2. Value - price and quality put together. 3. Innovatiive methods - constant pull with gravity on TT and constant pull with a different string mechanism on Dx. 4. Great racquet mouting system - will beat prince neos...

    Why would anyone buy a laserfibre?

    Add-in and Couch You all have given me a great idea. The thread about why should any buy from Laserfibre is getting sort of ugly. Why not try something positive and thus I would like to start a thread that says Why should everyone consider Laserfibre.

    Why would anyone buy a laserfibre?

    Tim of Laserfibre I cannot agree more with this statement. Tim is definitely a great plus to new stringer and even experienced ones. He is very generous with his time, and knowledgable. It is a pleasure to interact with him. He is one of the main reasons I am so happy with the Laserfibre...

    ms200tt or ms200dx?

    Mr Stevo I have a ms200dx with SA clamps. I tried the DA clamps also but settled with the SA clamps. the ms200dx is a great stringrer. Very fast. The constant pull is great. For a novice I am able to string a racquet now in about 30-40 minutes. The machine is of very good build quality...

    Too many choices....

    Despite all that is said about Laserfibre, there is no question that their machine are some of the best stringers around. The MS200DX is a very good and fast stringer. It has constant pull without the time consuming drop weight mechanism. Also mounting system is awesome. String drawback...

    Knots

    steve Appreciate your point of view. However, I am having great luck with pulling the knots with the string tensioning system. There is much less loss of tension in the last string. Also so in the four racquets that I have strung with this technique, I have not broken a string. I have...

    Knots

    I was recently observing a pro tie a knot on a Prince Neos stringer with NXT 16 strings. After clamping the string with the fixed clamps, he does to ususal knot routine but instead of pulling the knot with a nose pliers, he puts the end to string in the tensioning unit and pulls on the spring...

    Why would anyone buy a laserfibre?

    wonder wall Your detail reply has some assumptions that I would like to clarify. DA - clamps - Base adjusting screw. I adjusted it quite bit to tighten the clamps and reduce drawback but no significant success for the first 4 mains. Prince neos in not a piece of garbage. It is your...

    Why would anyone buy a laserfibre?

    better than no drawback. Also when I put an ink marker after tensioning but before using the clamp and releasing the tensioning unit on the string near the grommet, and then go to the next pull, the ink marked spot does not return to the same distance from the Grommet. Has not bothered me...

    Why would anyone buy a laserfibre?

    As an owner of a Ms200dx I can this much. The machine is a kick ass stringer. The mounting system is solid. constant pull and string gripper and excellent. The mahince is fast. The string drawback is an issues but reluctantly I can live with this. Similar string drawback was present...

    my 200tt clamps keep loosening

    screw at the bottom of the clamp The screw at the bottom is only on the DA clamps. I have a ms200dx and overall happy with the machine but not happy with the clamp drawback. I have SA clamps and told tim about this and he sent to the DA clamps because that was the agreement before I...

    Service problems with laserfibre and eco Jorge, I would not worry about the service problems with Laserfibre. Tim is a solid guy. May not come thru in time all the time but overall service is great when it come to quality. I am very happy with the ms200dx. There are a lot of similarities to...

    How fast can you string a racquet?

    gmlasam and tedmeister Okay, I accept the criticism. I overstated my opinion. I can see how one can weave the crosses in about 8 seconds. That is awfully good. Like a skilled surgeon. With skills like these 20 minutes will be possible. Also, I accept that one can better with experience...

    Whats with Laserfibre

    Laserfibre and Tim Sullivan I take everything back. Tim is a good guy. Cannot be otherwise. I know he tries his best and sometimes cannot meet deadline but is honest. The ms200dx is a kick ass machine. Aside from the drawback I cannot find anything wrong with it and everything else is...

    Laserfibre service - dissappointing I now have the laserfibre ms 200 dx for about three weeks. At the end of the first week I had a long talk with Tim about the drawback and I wanted to try the DA clamps. I currently have the SA clamps. Tim told me that he will ship them immediately. He did...

    Alpha Apex and Prince Neos Owners:

    I have strung on the neos and I love the glide bar clamps. They are easy to move and they are single action clamps and also there is no drawback. Mounting mechanism is a slight weakness? but on the other hand it works and dose not obstruct any grommetts. I have no experience with the alpa...
