    Back excercises

    Unfortunately, my back only hurts when I play tennis. It doesn't hurt when I play basketball, or do heavy lifting, etc. I do some back excercises, but I was wondering if any of you out there have had success with certain back excercises to strengthen that area?

    Gamma X-6FC question...

    I just got the Gamma X-6FC and I have strung two racquets so far. I have pretty much figured out most of it, but when I clamp the strings and return the dropweight to the starting position, it seems like the string pulls the clamp about a 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch. Is this normal? Also, the...

    What is the difference. I just got my new Gamma stringer and it came with Gamma TNT. I looked on TW, but all they have is TNT2. What is the difference?

    Crosses vs mains

    Are the mains what control the spin of the ball? (I assume the mains are the ones running parallel with the racquet handle?)

    Ok Gaines....

    You seem to be the most well-regarded in the forum. I am sick of researching stringers. Just give me your opinion on which of these I should buy and I am going to buy it. I have never strung before, but I break about one set of strings ever other week. Plus I will be stringing for about 3 or...

    Eagnas Flash 767

    I have finally narrowed my choice to either Gamma X-6FC or the Eagnas Flash 767. Flash is $100 less, which is nice. Both have 5 year warranties. Same features. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with either?

    Sponsored?

    I don't know where to post this, so I will post it here. Every now and then I see posters saying they are "sponsored" by companies. How do you get sponsored? I thought only the pros get this luxury?

    Newbie question!

    I am purchasing a stringer for the first time and I need to know which type of string to buy with it. I have a couple of RDX 500's that I normally had strung by my old tennis coach who has moved. I will be stringing for a few friends and family members too. Most of us are 4.0-4.5 players. I...

    Sub $400 machines

    I apologize if this has been asked 100 times already, but it looks like we have some very experienced stringers on these boards. I am someone who will string 1-2 racquets a week and I don't want to spend a fortune. In your experiences, if I don't want to spend more than $400, which stringer...
