Crank Machines and Tensions...

Lower Tensions...

I'm still in the market for a Stringing Machine since the shipment from the factory on the one I had decided on keeps getting delayed. At least it's giving me a little more time to research different machines.

I mainly do Racquetball racquets which the tension on most racquets is between 30 and 45lbs.

My question is, since most discussions here are for stringing Tennis racquets, tensions upwards of 60lbs, what components are not as critical for lower tension stringing. I would have to guess the turntable wouldnt take as much pressure.
Despite the mixed reviews of Eagnas Customer Service and parts, the Flex 940 or the Flex 920 seems to a decent buy for a non-shop Stringer.

I'm not an expert on the integrity of components, but I doubt you'll find a machine which is suitable for racquetball tensions, but not suitable for tennis tensions. I too string a lot of racquetball racquets, but my only personal stringing experience is with the Gamma 7000 ES (which I've used for over four years now). I don't know much about Eagnas machines, but after a quick internet search on the two models you've mentioned, I'm sure either would suffice for personal use, though there may be better options out there.
