--------The Talk TennisWarehouse Stringers Club-------------

[iplaybetter]

im in for sure

 

[String|Guru]

So I guess we just let this one die a slow death huh? Too bad... It made sense to have a stringers club.

 

[jonolau]

Nice to see so many stringers here. Count me in:

jonolau

[jazar]

jazar

[McLovin]

So I guess we just let this one die a slow death huh? Too bad... It made sense to have a stringers club.

Well, I would have asked for membership, but I'm already a member of:
Mid-Atlantic TW club
Babolat Alliance
Cheap Players Club
2-Handed Backhand
Hair Club for Men (oh, wait, that's not on this forum)

And I was an honorary member of the 1-Handed Backhand club when I broke my thumb a few weeks ago.

I'm spreading myself way too thin...

 

[themitchmann]

I'd like to join. I've been stringing over 12 years on an Ektelon Model DE.

I'd like IN...

[PTMaster]

Hi,
I have two question to do to stringers in this thread.
1 - Can i do a hybrid job in a racquet with 16x19 string pattern, without share tie holes.
2 - What string pattern can we make a hybrid job, with no share tie holes.
Thanks

 

[xtremerunnerars]

All tie off holes are shared...that's how you tie off. I think that's what you mean?

To tie off a string job you tie a knot to an already tensioned string so the hole has to be shared.

 

[PTMaster]

Sorry,isn´t that i want to know.
When i get my racquets with fresh string job (Hybrid),i see that the stringer make the knots of mains and the crosses in same hole (head hole), one over the other.
My questions:
1 - This is happen in a 16x19 string pattern racquet, when we do a hybrid string job.
2 - Are a string pattern that never happen this (tie knots in same hole)
sorry for my not so good english.

 

[cujays]

iv been stringing on a gamma x2 for 2 months
strung about 10 rackets

i'm sorry that i didn't update quick enough...it wouldn't happen again...
it's so good to see so many stringers here!

 

[Tim W]

I spose I'll join as well. I haven't been stringing for long now. Maybe a month, and about 10 racquets. I do it at my clubhouse for other players and for myself.

 

[SteveI]

Hi,

I do not want to join (not a joiner by nature), but I am a stringer.

Steve

 

[migjam]

USRSA MRT
Babolat Star 3
Have strung at ATP/WTA events
30yrs experience

 

[stringwalla]

Being part of a club helps me feel complete;-)

 

[ambro]

Count me in. Not much of a "club" guy myself, but I've been stringing on an X-6 FC for four years now.

 

[DJG]

Well, I don't quite feel I belong to this club yet, but I'll throw my hat in the ring: (Haven't been stringing for 15+ years, just got started again)

Machine: Eagnas Flex 740 (Not my first choice, only machine available locally - decent enough)
Time: Stringing for 1 week
Racquets: 7

 

[onefromcov]

Count me in
eagnas smart 3000
10 years

 

[String|Guru]

So are all of you "new" stringers (within the last 3 months) keeping up with it? How many racquets are you all up to now?

 

[1012007]

Around 20. You??

 

[Zhou]

Add Zhou.

I string on a Gamma Progression II 602FC
Strung about 4 rackets.

 

[Steve Huff]

Ok, guess you can count me in. I use an Alpha Apex with a Wise tension head. I have an old Serrano that's in pieces at the moment. I've been stringing since 1979 and I string between 800-1000 rackets/yr. Just send me a list of the perks I'll be receiving.

 

[String|Guru]

Around 20. You??

I'm not new in any way. I couldn't even begin to count how many I have done... In the last 5 years I am somewhere around 3,000 frames strung.

 

[1012007]

Thats not bad. For a business or an extra bit of income?

On what machine?

[tennisfa]

perhaps many of you here already know, but just for those who doesn't, our stringer YUlittle here have his own stinging videos on Youtube. the link below leads to his channel. i've been there numerous times and the some videos can be really helpful.

http://www.youtube.com/user/YULitle

 

[String|Guru]

Thats not bad. For a business or an extra bit of income?

On what machine?

I do 99% of the stringing at the club I work at, plus some on the side for friends. The machines I use are a Gamma 6500 els, a Gamma 6003, and a Neos 1000.

 

[Ronny]

Can I join? I have a Gamma X-2.

 

[Lambsscroll]

I have 2 1/2 years of experience on a Star 4. I was probably stringing 60 rackets a week during spring, summer and fall at a pro shop. I'll join.

 

[supermario343]

Id love to join myself.....I use the Gamma Progression II 602 FC

Alpha Revo 4K, stringing for about 1 month.

 

[String|Guru]

Anybody here use the Wise 2086 electronic tension head? From the advertisements it looks a little cheap. I don't know anyone who has one... Any thoughts?

[String|Guru]

Ok stringers lets get some participation...

What is the fastest you have ever strung a racquet and what racquet was it? Add machine if you can.

No double pulling, no string burning, legit times only.

Mine is 11 minutes. Prince Graphite II MP. Prince Neos 1000

 

[chrisplchs]

around 10:20, including cut out, mounting, opening string package and making all the correct stuff, after all, it was for a girl in the middle of the sectional junior tournament.

racquet: Wilson n6 (I think? it was grey color scheme, the girl was playing in 12s)

string: NXT 16

Babolat Star 3, ATW pattern

[Deleted member 25923]

Hi there. Join me up as well. I string for myself and a couple friends if they need it on a Silent Partner Swing. Been stringing for like almost a month now. LOL
