stringing machine

I've heard glowing reviews about this through their customer reviews, do you all have any experience with this? I've read that it's better than any drop weights and easy to use after the learning curve. At only around $300, it seems like a steal, but I have never met anyone who actually has/uses...

It's on the Bay - Adding pics in a sec since I found I can't post the URL It is definitely not in great condition, but it looks workable, and it has fixed clamps. I imagine maybe the clamps need to be replaced, but I can't tell if it has everything I need. $330 shipped is ok I guess. Any advice?

I used to string with the cheap Klipmate and I had a pretty bad experience with it as I hated trying to balance the weight and would waste a lot of time. Also, I think I must have some attention deficit but I liked to string while watching tv so I would feel less miserable doing it. I feel like...

Hello everyone, I recently acquired a Penta Premium Stringer 8700 Electro! My issue is the following: (1). I set the machine to my desired tension (23.5kg). (2). The machine starts pulling, and eventually recognizes that my desired tension has been reached (a small light switches from red...

I have been stringing for a few years and string probably 100 rackets a year on a crank/lockout machine. I am looking to upgraded to a nicer, newer electronic machine. I have narrowed it down to these three: Gamma 7900 els, Alpha Ghost 2, and Tourna 700 ES. I am also open to other suggestions...

I've been stringing for a few years now with my trusty Gamma 200. Pretty recently, I used my mate's Prince crank and even though it was my first time using a crank, I found that it was just much quicker and less fiddly than my drop-weight, so I am now looking to get a decent crank machine. I'm...

I would like to pick up racquet stringing as a hobby. I am not sure if I will fully commit to it yet so I want to try to keep the spending low. Hopefully under $200 (I know this is a bit unreasonable). Where might I be able to buy a decent used stringing machine. I can't seem to find any active...

To add Wise 2086 on Gamma X-ST, or to sell it and go with a new machine with better clamps? Primarily used for a serious junior player, and definitely we have to go with an electronic CP machine. We don’t like rotational gripper like one on Gamma X-ELS. The cost is important but quality, and...

If you play tennis at least 1 hour per week. Buy the string you can cut the most often. Buy a stringing machine and cut strings as often as possible. Your arm will love it. For example Pro's Pro Blackout is a great string and very cheap. You should cut any poly or co-poly after 30 min and no...

Anyone had any experience with Siboasi Stringing Machines? From what I can tell, their cheaper electronic version is the same as the model from Pro's Pro. They seem to be competively priced and I am considering buying one.

Hi - I'm relatively new to stringing and recently joined a stringing course to learn how to string. I realy enjoyed stringing. Now I'm planning to buy my own machine as I like to expiriment with different tensions and different string setups. Most of the time I will string for myself and maybe...

Hi, A newcomer to tt here. I am looking to get into stringing as a side gig. I have decided on a gamma stringer + 2086 wise tension head setup. I initially bought the Gamma Progression II 602 fc stringer for this purpose, but I recently stumbled across a used Gamma 6004 that the seller claims...

I have a Wilson Baiardo and I am going to buy the Babolat Perf Link. This is the full automatic machine. One of my friends in Europe advised me that the automatic clamps fail periodically and release tension for no reason. Does anyone have any experience with this? My friend suggested I ask...

Hey guys, does someone know where to get a klippermate-like machine in europe? I mean, i couldnt literally find anything under €300, which makes me kinda sad since i cannot spend much. I am only going to string for myself, so i suspect i wont need any of those helping factors and the most basic...

hi guys, im thinking about buying this one. anyone any experience with it? i've seen only positive feedbacks so far. what are the maximum possible tensions? any other recommendations with regard to it, e.g. any valuable accessories like a starting clamp? thx in advance

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 apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, haven't found a clear answer: I'm trying to save money in the long run by doing my own stringing. But it would be *very* long run if I forked out a ton of cash for an expensive machine. Anyone have experience with the cheap machines around $300? Do...

How much does a Professional Stringing Machine (f.e. Baiardo) consume for stringing a racket? (f.e. 20-25 minutes)

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...

I do not like it when I get to the end of restringing a racquet and encounter the need to bridge to the tensioner. I keep logs on the racquets I restring so the next time I do a racquet I have enough to finish the job. However, there are times that one ends up short. I usually reach into the...

Hi everyone, someone gave me a Prince Ripstick to string and I'm very concerned about safely mounting it on my machine, due to my 2-pt mount and the ripstick's more oval head shape making the throat. Pictures below. Is it safe to string this stick with the throat not buttressed fully? The top...

Hi all, I have a 20+ year old Gamma Progression II desktop model (with an upgraded electronic tensioner). The original red plastic clamps was replaced once years ago (I recall ones with diamond coating). I am now looking for replacement clamps again and if possible, to replace the base of the...

Hi I´m going to buy a stringing machine so that I can string for myself and my buddies but I don´t know whether I should buy a weight drop machine or a manual machine. I have found these two https://www.amazon.com/Stringing-Consistency-Gamma-Accessories-Equipment/dp/B06XNQY7L9...

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...

Hi all, I got the gamma drop weight machine a week ago and have strung a handful of rackets for practice, yesterday as I was pulling tension on the last cross string there was a loud clang and the tension was lost, the strings got all tangled with by loosening the grip I got them out. Just...

This review is applicable to both, Gamma X-ELS and Gamma Progression II ELS. These are identical machines, with only difference that Progression has a red base without side drawers while X-ELS has a blue aluminum base with two small side drawers for tools. All essential for stringing parts and...

Background: Looking to buy a stringing machine for my son and I. We do not plan to do a lot of stringing jobs, just as many as our own needs and perhaps needs of our friends would warrant. Motivation is not as much to save money on stringing, but to be able to install any strings we want when we...

Hi, I would like to buy a stringing machine. My budget is 600€ and I mainly want it for myself, but also to string people from the club in order to get my money back. I have seen the Pro' Pro Electronic TX700 for around 600€ so the price would fit perfectly for me. But, does it last long? Does...

I am at the point where I am not considering buying my own stringing machine. I've set my mind on an electronic one, but not sure where to go from there. I feel like at the $2000 range, anything above that threshold is just not worth it. Please do correct me if I am wrong. Almost feel like its...
