Wilson Baiardo vs Babolat Evolution Tour?

[Stelios369]

Good day stringers,
I’ve been stringing on a Wilson Baiardo v1 for 5 years now. I love it! I work at ******** Sports and do a fair number of racquets (15-25) everyday. I don’t really care about the bells and whistles on a machine, just the comfort of use. We are looking into getting a Babolat Evolution Tour to replace the Baiardo. I’ve used a Babolat Sensor and I thought it was the worst machine ever. Racquets would get stuck on the machine b/c the turn knobs have no grip on them. The clamps were hard to slide around, and the string would get caught in the tension puller.
Has anyone switched from a Baiardo to an Evolution Tour? (Reverse of a previous post) I should be happy about getting a new machine yet feel nothing but anxiety.

My main concern are the clamps. The clamps on the Baiardo are some of the best I e ever used. The diamond tip clamps never slip. I could lock and unlock with one hand. Can the Evolution clamps be used with one hand? Do the clamps need to reach up higher on the Evolution?
Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Get an Evolution Tour.

I personally work at the babolat racket station and I am very satisfied. A friend of mine had evolution at the tournament and the clamps are practically different. The system is the same. The great thing is that they adjust themselves, you don't need to adjust anything.

Aloha,
I haven't used a Wilson Baiardo stringing machine before, but I can share my experience on the Babolat Evolution Tour in this video review. I hope this helps.
