    What do players value most in racket stringing & customization services?

    Powerangle Pro Stringing Video?

    Recently acquired an unstrung Powerangle Pro thinking foolishly "how hard could it be"? I've strung hundreds of rackets but when the guide on their website says it takes only 5 minutes to learn I feel like I've never tied a knot in my life. Has anyone ever stumbled across a video of a powerangle...

    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...

    Alpha Axis Pro or Tourna 300cs

    Don't know which one to go with. Seems I can't go wrong with either, but just to be sure. I would prefer the one with the best clamps, however if one is much better than the other I would obviously go with that one.

    Bonny T-618 Stringing Nightmare

    Stringing Pure Aero French Open

    I was stringing this for someone but it seems to be different from a regular Pure Aero. I couldn't find the right grommets to tie off crosses unless this is only meant for one piece stringing? Do I still skip 7 and 9 on mains?
