Poly Mains strung 55 lbs ( generic gray string from FB marketplce) and Multi crosses( Old Tecnifibre 515 SPL) on Diadem FS Nova 100+
Freshly strung this racket and went to hit the wall with it. I notice the mains does not snap back. did i do the stringing wrong? Is it supposed to snap back? Is it the string? Looking for guidance. What are you guys thoughts on multi mains and poly crosses(curious)?
I bought this reel off Amazon at half price and I’ve tried to restring my racquet but it keeps snapping during the restringing process, usually around when I finish the mains. I’m only pulling tension at 55lbs and it looks like it stretches the string a lot on each pull where it sometimes discolours to completely white at the end of each main.
I can’t tell if it’s a bad batch or am I doing something wrong. I haven’t had any issues restringing with poly so far.
I've recently moved from SEA to Australia and I find myself struggling with my game here, the tennis balls seem feel harder (possibly due to the colder climate?). I've two different brands of balls (same as which I used in SEA) and the feeling is really different, I had a similar experience when I visited Europe. I've already strung my racquets 2 & 4lbs to try to counter the ball hardness but it hasn't made much of a difference. Any advice you can offer fellow redditors?
Would appreciate any guidance about where I should begin. Online tutorial? Book? Looking to purchase a used stringing machine this year and get started. Thanks!
Tried to figure out how to use this thing with a friend who has a lot of experience on a similar gamma machine and we could not figure out how to use it. Cranking felt like too much pressure and winding the string around the crank (picture 2) would either pinch the string to the point of notching (which is what broke it) or just not pull. I was given this a few months ago by someone who swore it works. I have no way of contacting him or id ask directly.
Any info appreciated!
Hey all!
I've been playing tennis a lot and have started to go through strings like crazy. I decided to purchase a used stringing machine (AEF stringing machine 6-pt, fixed clamp, dropweight) and learn to string for myself.
I strung my partner's racquet (first pic) and my own.
The first one was actually a bit easier than the second one, I think because of the tension maybe? I used Babolat synthetic gut for both and strung the first one at 48lbs and the second one at 52lbs. On the second one, I kept damaging the strings, I guess the clamp was too tight?
And then a couple of observations, I have two of the second racquet and it seems like the one I strung elongated a bit? Why is that? How do I prevent it and is that something that can be fixed or will go back? Also, I warped the bumper guard (3rd pic), is that due to just overtightening when placing the racquet?
Anyway, how did I do on my first stringing? What can I do to improve?
As you can see, he’s thrashed them. I strung this racquet about two months ago, if that, and he’s already done this. I didn’t even know this was possible. The string is Solinco confidential 1.25. Next I’m gonna try putting restring sync in the crosses as a slick option to hopefully prevent this from happening so quickly. Any other alternative suggestions? I will note, I strung the mains 2 lbs tighter (52/50) to try to facilitate a little more spin.
Eagnas 740 drop weight stringer (c. 2009)
When I put the string in the gripper and pull the drop weight, the drop weight doesn't grab the gripper. Any thoughts on how to fix it are welcome, thanks!
This thing has been a workhorse for like 15 years but this issue just came up, would love to repair it instead of getting something new.
Looking to sell my machine, got it maybe 2 months ago but want to upgrade to a Baiardo. I’ve probably strung no more than 25-30 rackets in it. It works flawlessly. Testing the market to see if there interest for it.
As a 18 girl playing for 1 year , im thinking of buying the yonex ezone 100 but i struggle w sending the ball to far so i was wondering what strings to get for it?
Also heard the ezone has less control so i wanted strings that can optimise that control and help me play better.
Thanks
Or should I tie off on a main?
I charge because it takes time and requires cleaning the racquet. The fee is in addition to the restringing fee ($25).
What do you charge for grommet & bumper guard replacement in addition to the cost of the pieces?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with a Pro‑Stringer 3.0 X6. I keep running into an issue where the machine over‑pulls tension and snaps the string, and it seems to happen randomly.
It’s occurred at different stages, including:
The attached image shows how far along I was when the string snapped—this happened near the end while stringing the crosses.
I haven’t been able to identify a consistent trigger, so I’m trying to figure out whether this is user error, a calibration issue, or a known quirk with this model. Any insights or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I just purchased a few reels from stringerpro.com. Some of their prices are a little bit lower than Tennis Warehouse and other mainstream retail places, but some are SUPER cheap. For instance, Hyper-G Soft is ~$35 cheaper but Yonex and Babolat strings seem to be a LOT cheaper (over $150/reel).
Any chance those strings are not genuine? Anyone else ordered from stringerpro.com before?
I've found the similar models of it but I'm not able to find the same exact model number that has those longer red shoulder pieces. Thanks in advance!
Planning to buy this from someone online. The logo is holographic and butt cap has raised japan text. Please help me on checking this 🙏🙏🙏
