stringing machine

Hey everyone, thought this might be interesting so wanted to share. Months back, I bought a used Eagnas Comet 11 for a pretty good deal. While it worked fine, it was a crank stringer. I coveted the accuracy and ease-of-use of an electric constant pull stringer, but a Wise 2086 was out of budget...

I have base / tensioner for the 600-ES or 650-ES (believe it the same base), looking for the turntable / racquet mount and associated clamps. I've contacted Tourna if they had spare parts for this model and currently, they don't (did in the past). Are there any other vendors out there that might...

Hey everyone, I recently started learning to string my own rackets using a six-point manual crank machine, but I’ve noticed something odd. Every time I string my own racket, the string bed tends to vibrate a lot during hitting, and the vibration travels all the way down to the handle, which...

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I just bought a Babolat Star 5 for €1900 in top condition. It has no scratches at all and was only used privately. The tension counter shows just 78 (about 2850 string jobs). Do you think that’s a good price? The seller showed me his invoice – he bought the machine...

I'm using a Pro's Pro Tomcat MT 400 but recently I've had issues with the slippage and the clamps moving more when releasing the tension. Last week I've replaced the diamond dust coated inlays in the clamps and while the grip is better now, I still have to clamp unnecessarily hard to keep some...

I'm looking to upgrade from my X-2 stringer so I can have fixed clamps and a gripper that doesn't seem to slip as easily. The main issue I have is the tension loss I experience with the X-2 and flying clamps. I have to string 10 pounds higher than my intended target to actually hit my tension. I...

Looking to pick up a Tourna stringing machine. Does anyone have contacts that might be able to provide wholesale pricing?

Hello guys! As a guy who always breaks strings, i want to get a beginner friendly, not so expensive stringing machine, so i can save some cash. I live in a smaller europian country, where I don’t have lot of options, so after searching for a while theese are the two machines i found, that would...

Hi, I inherited machine and see something strange, I think support are too low relative to the puller, so racket can not rotate freely. which also means that for throat strings I can not put them under the frame. Do you think it's right ? Thanks Mario

Hi! I have been doing some research but still can't decide which stringing machine I should get. I will be starting a stringing business and I'll be stringing around 10-15 racquets a week. I want an electric stringing machine to save time and have mainly been looking att the Pro's pro Tomcat...

I'm looking to buy one of these 2 budget drop-weight machines and I'm wondering if there are any differences between them. The only thing I can see from their website is that the StringMaster comes with some pliers while the Hornet might not. I couldn't find much else online about them. Does...

I have an Eagnus crank machine that I got for $350 few months ago that has worked for me and has strung 40 or so racquets. Ive only ever had problems early on by my own mistake. So I just bought 2 new ezones and while pulling the crosses that bottom end of the racquet slowy slides in the mount...

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.

Hi all! I'm a new user here but have been reading these boards for years! I'm a professional stringer for 20+yrs now and about to start a new business in California (USA). I've used a Tourna 650-ES for years, but also had experience with the Wilson Baiardo, Babolat Star 5, Gamma 7900 ELS, and...

Hello all. I have the possibility to buy an old Babolat Sensor Expert Dual. According to seller it works fine but haven’t been used for 5 years. It has strung up around 9500 rackets according to the display. Around 30.000 Traction Cycles. I know it’s hard to say exactly, but what would be a...

Hey folks, first time poster here. I'd like to purchase a tabletop stringing machine (I don't have lots of space in my apartment sadly, but I'm amenable to a tabletop setup with a foldable stand or a cart or something). This will be my first stringing machine. I'm mostly looking for...

Hey everyone, I’ve decided that I want to start stringing my rackets and, obviously, I need my own machine. I’ve searched in the forums and seems that my question is not uncanny, but also seemed that it was mostly “not so actual” advice - it could be, but with inflation and all… So, I’m...

Hey everyone. I've done 3 frames so far on my new Tourna CS-350 stringing machine and it feels like I have to mount the racquets extremely tight or else the racquet will move when I pull tension (more noticeable nearing the end of the crosses). I notice that even when the racquet feels "tightly"...

Guys, what would you recommend for starters? stringing mine and friends racquets so not a lot of volume.. but prefferably electric for the ease of use and making it more of a pleasure.. i had a look at PPs Tomcat MT 400, Stringmaster 400 or SuperstriT70 etc. Considered also Tourna 300 cs but...

I have a great stringer professional where I take my frames, but I am also a frame collector and I like to play with different frames which makes it for an expensive experience if I want to play with polys and re-string every so many weeks. So, I was thinking … I either get the most basic...

Hi, I string on a Gamma Progression st ii and have noticed sometimes when I put tension on the first mains when starting a racquet the 12 o’clock support becomes loose and the frame moves slightly away. Please see video for an example: https://youtube.com/shorts/KuwJ7x0Bw1E?feature=share To...

Hi All, I'd appreciate any help with this issue. I changed my clamp bases from the standard Spinfire to Spinfire Automatic base clamps. Every 3-4 racquets I need to tighten the base clamps as they begin to rotate back a little, likely resulting in tension loss. Is this normal procedure? Do...

Hi, As per the title I am not getting any replies from MI Stringer, the contact form says they will respond within 1 business day but nothing. The stringer looks perfect in the £300 range, assuming the company has gone under can anyone recommend a stringer for personal use for around £300? Thanks

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. 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

It looks like an improved verion with M8 head, pulled the trigger and ordered one.

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. Anyone that has this stringing head? I want to attach it to my Gamma progression 2. The one with the 6 point mounting system and fixed clamps. Think its called the 206 FC? I know wise has a big following but it’s not really available in South Africa and i have a friend flying in from...

Hi I'm looking at buying a stringing machine in Australia. It took me a long time to find any because it's not a big market. I was aiming to spend around 1000AUD. I ended up finding 3 crank machines that I was deciding between. The AEF Egret 200, the SpinFire Blaze and the Eagnas Flex 920. I...
