You can lead a horse to water, right?

2 Cadillac Allante
Both are 1990 cars, one is a 1990.5 as there was a design change part way through the year. The 90.5 is a burgundy exterior and red interior. I bought that one in 93. The other is champagne color with neutral interior. I bought that one 7 years ago. Both have just over 40,000 miles. For a 2 seat convertible they ride line a Cadillac.They chasis was shipped by plane to Italy, Pininfarina made the body and interior, then was flown back to Michigan on special 747 to finish car in US. GM lost big time on those as sales were not very good. Only 21,000 made over 7 years.Oooh! what color(s)? I'm so old, I remember these lol. Beautiful cars.. designed by Pininfarina.
It's better than what the OP did to this thread don't you think?So the topic has gone from drop weight to drop top.
Seriously, nice cars. I,too, am a confirmed convertible driver. Can't beat ‘em.
What do you have??Yes! I’m on my 3rd convertible myself
One of the first things I was taught when I was getting my medical training was, “Tools are great to have, but your technique will matter more.” This is something I believe the OP fails to grasp or needs to learn.
I was fortunate enough to work in the tennis industry while in college and post-grad school. I used every type of machine out there, including pneumatic (learned on a Prince P-200) and spring activated CP (Laserfibre...what an unique, excellent machine!) I even strung on one of the first production Wise Tennis Heads when we were evaluating it while I was stringing at H-bird. In all my experiences on every different type of machine, I never forgot that proper, well-developed techniques and practices were what really mattered.
If you know your equipment and know how to adjust for any factors related to the tools at hand, you can get the job done successfully. In fact, a point of pride as a “pro” stringer is being able to do the same racquet “job” on two different machines and get the same outcome. It’s not the tool...it’s how you use it. A universal cliche, yes...but one that has proven to be true more often than not.
Just my $0.02...stepping off soapbox now.
Edited for clarification...
How about an apology to all the experienced stringers here who posted there times in under 30 minutes and you called them all flat out liars.39 minutes.
God this never gets old.
I LOVE THIS TECHNO MACHINE

An apology is due from you , but I'm sure that won't happen as you are not that type if person.

Strung again.
Took me EXACTLY the same amount of time.
1:42
It took me 7 mins. just to cut off the strings and remove them.
Anyone who strings in 20 mins. is a flat out liar.
People even claimed 12 minutes.
It takes that long just to unravel the string, mount the racket, remove old strings.
You can't string a racket in 12 minutes. Flat out liars.
And the implication was using a DW machine, as that was my reference marker.
But 12 minutes with a drop-weight can be done.
In your old quote, you called anyone who claims to complete a string job in 20 mins or less a liar. Professional stringers can definitely do it in under 20 mins. Now you change it to 12 mins. Lol. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to admit you were wrong and issue an apology rather than constantly making yourself look like a complete fool? I can tell you people would respect you a lot more if you admitted you were mistaken.As usual, always misquoted.
Here is my original comment:

Earth, no, the entire universe, no, make it the entire Milky Way revolves around TTPS. If he can’t do something, no one else could possibly be able to do it either.I suspect with some people when they quote stringing times for themselves, they're not necessarily including all that "other stuff" - besides the actual stringing of the racquet.
Regardless, just because you can't do it, doesn't mean it can't be done.

If someone posts a video of all those steps in 20 mins. or less then I will retract.
I think the pro stringers string in 20min. From the moment they are handed the racket.

Pro stringers do not remove strings, check and clean rackets, etc. they string rackets (mount, string, and dismount.) 20 minutes should not be uncommon unless you string in one of Brad G’s shops then you must be much faster. LOLI’m aware of pro stringers who can string at a pace of 4 racquets per hour. Doesn’t mean that they can (or try) to keep that’s pace up for extended periods. But if they need to fly - as in “on court” situations - they can.

Bottom line you now add dw and add removing strings as you are attempting to cover your inaccurate comment and cannot admit you were wrong. Sad.
Those are POG 110’s correct? The 90’s would be even faster.

Notice @TimeToPlaySets , machines used are not electronical as you call a Revelation, but a crank machine. The videos that the IART had for the world's fastest stringers contest were Wilson Biardo machines. The hands and technique of stringer are most important.I rather have a knowledgeable stringer use any machine he felt good about using string my racquet than an idiot using a high end one.Reality check
As is the Steam 105S. Brad Gilbert territory is not out of the question.
@TimeToPlaySets is it now time to retract your statement, or I assume you cannot do that, as that is not in your character to do that?
You did say you would retract your statement with video proof.
