    Gamma X-2/X-6 gripper 're-setting' question

    Apologies if there already is an answer to this question - but on my search of this forum, I couldn't find one. I started stringing on the Klippermate a while ago, and I seem to be struggling with getting it to behave well with stretchy syn-gut/nylon - to the extent that sometimes the string...

    One Piece Stringing: Can it be done on a drop weight stringer? Ex- Gamma X-2 Stringer

    Hey there! I'm new to stringing my own racquets and have been loving the process. I've gotten two piece stringing down really well but I don't use a hybrid set up and I use Wilson racquets to which they recommend one piece. I was looking into videos on how to string one piece (most of the...

    Premium Stringer 7600

    Hi Guys. We have limited stringing machines in South Africa. We only get dirt cheap drop weights or the Wilson Baiardo. A second hand Premium Stringer crank just came on the market. It says it is 9/10. Does anyone have experience with this machine. Accuracy? Clamps? Etc

    Can a Klippermate dropweight replace a ratchet mech?

    I currently have a Klippermate. If I upgrade to a 6-point, fixed clamp, dropweight machine with a ratchet mechanism, is it possible to replace the ratchet with the Klippermate dropweight? Any thoughts?

    Pro's Pro vs. Alpha

    Hi guys, So I am wanting to get a stringing machine. Not just to save money in the long run, but it is also something I have wanted to be able to do for quite some time. After doing quite a lot of research, the idea of a manual machine + a Wise 2086 tension head sounds like a good setup. I...

    My little tip for dropweight machines: line level

    I have a Gamma X-6FC dropweight stringer. I'm particular, so I was frustrated with "eyeballing" the dropweight bar to determine if it was level and thus at the desired tension. My solution was to buy a cheap line level and zip-tie it to the dropweight bar. It may seem unnecessary to some, but I...

    Cover for Gamma dropweight stringer?

    A few questions: Has anyone found a cover which fights a dropweight stringer properly, either Gamma or other brand? Which if any of the Gamma covers fit the Gamma X-6FC? I've been told it's the MPMC, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to actually "cover" the stringer given the tension bar...
