Hi everyone First off, a huge thank you to all the experts and contributors here. Going through the threads, reviews, and detailed discussions on this forum helped me learn a lot about tennis stringing machines and really shaped my decision-making process. I truly appreciate how open and...

I bought a Gamma Ball Tube Hopper that holds 18 balls. One end collects the ball as you press it down on a tight rubber end. Does it take a while to break the collector end in or will I have to shave some of the rubber off the inner diameter of the collector to make it easier to press down...

Finally tracked down a Gamma Tradition 18 in nice shape after a bit of a search, and I'm fairly surprised by a rather large discrepancy between my measurements and the ones in the TW database. It's my first experience with the racket so I'm hoping a knowledgeable Tradition 18 fan might be able...

Do any have knowledge about this machine? Or experience with it I am currently stringing on Gamma Progression II els. How big of an upgrade would it be? I got offered a Gamma 9900 els stringing machine from 2016 for around $3600, is it a good deal?

Hi Guys. Looking for advice on these 2 stringing machines. I do travel about 20 weeks a year and portability is important but I also need to deliver a consistent tension. What would you suggest? Pros and Cons of both etc.

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...

Well, at this point I feel like I have read every thread I can find and still have a few questions - though I am leaning toward the Alpha Pioneer DC+. I am sorry if this has been covered recently but with the changes and tweaks to models from older models I was looking to find the most...

I'm using the Gamma Progression ST II to string poly at 56 lbs (Cyclone and Hyper G Soft 16 gauge). I have the screw adjustment for the linear gripper screwed all the way in (clockwise) but I still feel indentations on the strings caused by the linear gripper. Sometimes I wrap the string around...

I’ve been playing tennis all my life, and stringing racquets since high school. Im 45 now. I’ve been collecting Gamma points as long as I can remember. I decided to cash in a few of my points for a set of stringers tools. I mailed them in only to find out 4 months later that the program ended...

Hey all, Currently using Yonex Super Grap overgrip (tacky version) and thinking about experimenting with other overgrips. I do love the Yonex Super Grap (for me it is the perfect balance between tack, comfort, and durability) but I am looking for some cheaper, more available options and want to...

I have read every post as I am researching and just wanted to ask again since many posts are old and new clamps come out and parts change. Also some of you may have bought these models recently or if you like something else let me know. Looking to just string for me and will involve natural...

Hi all, I know there is a classifieds section for this, and I have this listed in there as well, I just want to get the word out there some more. My ad in the classifieds section is now on Page 8 so unless people are really weeding through there they might miss it and someone looking for this...

Hi guys. I am opening a small shop at our tennis club and would like to get some string suggestions. I dont have the space (and i dont feel its necessary) to stock 50+ strings. i would like suggestions on the following categories: 1. Power 2. Control 3. Soft Poly 4. Multi/Syn Gut (lots of older...

I have been stringing for over 6 years now and have had a Pro's Pro Pilot that has been somewhat troublesome and I'm looking for a new machine. I string mostly for myself but also do string for family and friends at my club. My budget is up to around the £1000 mark but for the right machine...

Hi Guys. I'm still searching for a good, electronic machine. I have limited space so would prefer a table top machine. I currently have a Gamma progression ii Fixed clamps (but it is plastic so i'm not fond of them). I will buy a Wise (or the pros pro mt-200 for the knot function?) and add it...

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 some one please help me choose me between Wilson pro Overgrip or gamma supreme pro Overgrip my hands sweat quite well .. I can say that my hands sweating rating is 7.5/10 so any one can help me in choose between them in terms of durability and tackiness as I don't change Overgrip very often...

Hello, Does anyone know if there is much of a difference of tension pull quality between these 2 machines? Or between these 2 types of pull mechanisms? Thanks in Advance!

Hi Guys. I had a hit with a junior at my club’s Pro Staff 97L. She complained she struggles to get power. The one racquet had Signum Pro X-perience 1.24 (i love this string) and the other had Gamma Moto 1.30 and she is trying other string. All strung at 54. I tried the racquet and it felt like a...

I’m looking to buy my first stringer, and I’ve narrowed it down to the Gamma and Alpha 6pt, fixed clamp drop weights (apparently I’m into the Greek alphabet). FWIW I already know how to string. I intend to do a small amount of stringing service with it—probably not enough to warrant the need...

I cant play tennis at the moment because the Governor's shelter edict has closed all courts. Time for some nostalgia... for me it is Gamma Boron string. I liked it in my max 200g and other frames. It was extremely control oriented, almost like a proto-poly but without the snap back and...

Hi all, I have the following dilemma. My hand works ok with a grip size L5 (4-5/8 inches) although according to all websites I checked I'd need even a bigger grip size. E.g. when I measure my hand with this method http://protennistips.net/tennis-racquet-grip-size/ I get more than 150mm or 6...

Machines - Gamma X-6FC X-6 Stringing Machine (Drop Weight) - Gamma Progression II ELS Stringing Machine (ELS) Background Used my drop weight for 2 years stringing at 56lbs. Upgraded to the ELS and strung my first racket @ 56 lbs and it felt WAY too tight. Strung the next at 51... still too...

So I'm in the market for a stringer. Based on my budget, and goals with stringing, I have narrowed it down to the two options. Which one should I go for? -What is better, Gamma's drum gripper or Alpha's linear? (In terms of ease of use, maintenance etc.) -Which company has better customer...

I thought I would share today's project. I have mounted my Gamma Progression 602 FC II turntable, and a Wise 2086 tension head onto a Seville 6 door tool trolley. This was inspired by some photos I saw posted here by another member in an older thread. What I used to do this: - Seville UltraHD...

Hi all, I am adapting my Gamma Progression 602 FC II Turntable, and Wise tension head to a workbench surface. With the original Gamma base, I have 360 rotation when using the dropweight bracket. The distance between diablo/string gripper and the racquet/handle is 15-20mm with the original...

Was looking to purchase my first stringing machine, and naturally was looking at Gamma's Progression ii 200/ X-2, but being in Europe I found 4 other interesting options that are in my budget but I don't see much written up about them: Challenger I Premium Stringer 3600 Pro's Pro Pilot Pro's...

Please vote for your favorite racquet company and tell us why that company is the best!

Hopefully someone can help me choose a stringer that is both good for a beginner and has the option to be upgraded into the future if I decide to do more stringing for others in the area. This I guess is better if it can be fixed with electronic tensioner from wise/etc. I also chose to exclude...

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...
