Toroline strings slipping in the string machine gripper

[LeagueOfMyOwn]

Has anyone else experienced issues with Toroline strings slipping in the string machine gripper? I've strung both Toroline Wasabi and Caviar and encountered problems with both, especially with Caviar being the worst in this regard. I'm using a drop weight GAMMA Progression II stringer equipped with a diamond-coated gripper, and it handles mainstream strings like Solinco Hyper G or Confidential without any issues.

I wipe down the whole string with rubbing alcohol using a piece of cloth, just run thru the whole string to remove most of what eventually end in the jaws of the gripper.

Tried wasabi, wasabi X and ether without any problem...

clean your clamp jaws with alcool, they must be dirty and full of poly residues..

Usually it's as simple as cleaning the gripper with alcohol, regular cleaners won't work as good. Then a slight gripping adjustment if needed.
Same goes for the clamps. Using some strings requires doing this more often.

I opened the gripper and found mainly pink and yellow traces of strings, matching the colors of Toroline Wasabi and Caviar (see the picture). Considering I've only strung two sets of these strings and there are no traces of other colors, like gray from Solinco Confidential or lime green from Hyper-G, which I've used many times before, my conclusion is the Toroline Wasabi and Caviar strings are prone to excessive shedding. This shedding significantly contributes to the clogging of the gripper.

I haven’t found any issues stringing wasabi and caviar full bed for myself and customers. Haven’t used caviar yet. Wasabi is a bit stiff so the crosses were ok but nothing to complain about.

I've done K-Pro, Toro Toro, and Absolute with no issues. And that's in between my regularly-scheduled machine cleanings.

I've strung all Toroline strings with my stringer, haven't experienced any issues, just like any other strings.
