I've been stringing for over 2 years using the Gamma X-2, which I've found great, have had no issues with but would like to move up. Would like to stay with drop weight because of the constant pull, but move up to 6-point & fixed clamps but would also like a brake.
Although I string Prince O's with the 50/50, a brake would be nice, and I'm worried what Prince, HEAD or someone else is going to introduce that will only work on a machine with a brake. The only thing stopping me from purchasing the II602FC or X-6FC is the lack of a brake. I string for myself and a relatively small group of customers. Would love to string more but in small towns not easy to build up clients.
Question is......does anyone have any idea how important a brake is going to be in the future?
