Gamma X2: Uneven floating clamp pressure..

[ricardo]

has any of you experience the following regarding the Gamma X2 floating clamps? I strung only 6 rackets so far.

1 side of the clamp is slipping while the other side is not slipping at all but actually leaving teeth marks on the string indicating too much pressure.

So what i have here is a floating clamp with uneven pressure: 1 side is too low allowing the string to slip while the other side is too high leaving teeth marks on the string.

I notice this after stringing only 6 rackets. While cleaning the clamps with a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol, i noticed that 1 side appears in very good condition while the other side clearly shows a string slippage line that looks like it has been melted.

Any solution aside from calling Gamma?

The thing I don't like with mine is that it seems like they're not perfectly aligned, so only a portion of the clamp actually does the clamping. There's a lot to be said for steel; this might be why Gamma a year or so ago pulled out the composite fixed clamps on better models and replaced them with steel. My guessing here. . .

Your best bet is to call Gamma and have them send you a replacement clamps. I am very happy with the clamps that came with my progression 200 and by far strung a total of 8 with good results.
