Help for buying new machine

[TennisCanada1]

I had an Eagnas Flex 722 but sold it a few months ago after having issue after issue after inaccurate tension.

These past few months have been a headache as I have spent a lot of money on stringing. I am interested in buying a new stringing machine and after researching I found I could save a few hundred $$ by buying a Pro's Pro machine from the UK. I just want to know if people have experience with their machines, and if they are reliable and of good quality?

Thanks!

For example the SX01 model.

I have to say, if you believe your inaccurate tension to be caused by the tension head failing calibration, I'm not sure Pro's Pro is your solution. It's highly probable that they and others are using the same tension unit.

I always hear mixed reviews for Eagnas, but I don't recall their tension head being a source for any complaints.

Sounds like you're jumping out of the pot and into the fire. That would be like someone in Europe buying an Eagnas from the US to get away from their problems with a Pro's Pro.

Agree. Gamma/Alpha/Prince are the only crank machines I'd consider, personally. (I have the Gamma X-ST and it's great)

I think you're forgetting where the Gamma and Alpha tension units come from, pretty much 1 source.

Not sure if you're referring to me, but if you are, just keep in mind that there's much more to a machine than just the tension unit. Plus of course there's customer support, and Alpha/Gamma/Prince should all be about as good as you can get...

Yes, I was. And my point was when talking about the tension head they are almost all made in the same place.

Agree with your points regarding overall quality and service.
