Good Stringing machine?

[roc17355]

Was looking to save a little coin and start stringing my own raquets. I was wondering what would be a good machine to start off with. Price/performance?

Budget range would be helpful...

Most of the people (more than 5) that I know use Klippermate stringing machine. It's not terribly expensive and for most racquets, it does a decent job of stringing (except for Head Ti.S7). I also use a Klippermate.

None really just looking for a good price to performance/function ratio, not looking to go digital or anything probably a table top machine. I'm not really even sure of the price ranges but I would say around $500.

How about Eagnas

Looked them up any fedback?

Probably more threads on Eagnas that any other topic. Do a search - you will find hundreds of threads...


$500 - pretty close to the price of the Alpha Revo - If you want a table top that would be my first choice...

$500 gets you a nice machine with fixed clamps and a multi-point mounting system. Alpha, Silent Partner, Mutual Power, Gamma. Lots of threads re: people going through the same process.

I see by your sig in your full x-1 you string lower in the mains, is this because it is supposed to increase the sweet spot? Can you tell the difference between that and all one tension?

As a matter of interest, why can't a Head Ti S7 be strung on a Klippermate? I don't know that frame but string many Head frames on my K'mate and haven't struck any probs.

i'm pretty sure most people here are going to tell you to save a few bucks to get the REVO it seems like a pretty perfect machine for what your going to be using it for/wanting to spend on it.... btw I have a spot in line for one that I wont be needing anymore... its up for grabs and should be ready in like a week or so... who wants it??!?!

I just went and purchased a Mutual Power Titan 7600 for $550. I'll see how it strings when it comes in

What are you gonna be asking?

 

[ambro]

Well he'll probably just tell Mark at Alpha to sell it to you instead of him, so you'll have to pay full retail price for it. Which is $599 plus shipping ($50ish) if I remember correctly. And if that's too much, the Gamma X-6FC and Alpha Pioneer DC+ would be the next step down in your price range. They're nearly identical machines, so take your pick.

try using the search function there is a lot of info on this board.

just think about the volume of racquets you will be stringing and features you want and narrow it down to a few that meets your needs and wants.
