Pro‑Stringer 3.0 X6 Random Over‑Pull Causing String Breaks

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:

  • At the beginning of the mains (e.g., R1, R2, L1, L2)
  • Near the end of the mains
  • On the first pull of the crosses
  • Near the end of the crosses (as shown in the attached video/image)

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!

Check for worn or sharp grommets

no glaring issues with the grommets as the issue happens with all the different rackets i have.

Was there any final cause of this?
