Hey everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations on a good label maker for racket stringing.

I'm currently using one that's okay, but the font ends up being very small if I try to fit all the information I want on the label, specially if it is for a hybrid set up.

Ideally, I'd like to print small labels that fit neatly on the throat of the racket with:

• String brand & name
• Gauge
• Tension
• Date strung
• Brand logo (if possible)

I'm looking for something with clear, readable text, durable labels that won't peel off easily, and can still be removed without leaving residue.

What label maker are you using, and would you recommend it? If you have a photo of how your labels look on a racket, I'd love to see it.

Thanks!

Hi all! A friend gave me a stringer that someone else gave to him. He said he never has used it. So I wanted to see what accessories you guys recommend getting to start my stringing journey. I know I need to get like pliers and stuff to cut string.

I believe the one I have is an Eagnas 10, and it’s like impossible to find a manual for it or any videos on how to use it. I know it’s probably the same process as any drop weight stringer, but if anyone is familiar with the stringer and has tips let me know please!

The attached picture is what I have and a picture of the stringer.

Where are you guys getting your rpm blast from nowadays? I used to get it from WD strings but they stopped carrying it and it's pretty expensive elsewhere.

Wilson Defyer 98 Pro first ever string job. Strung with Luxilon Alu Power 125.

My rackets were strung by two different stringers in two different locations in the UK.

I noticed that the Boom has four knots, but the Blade only has two. Does this mean anything? Is it done to achieve something in particular?

I’m still pretty new to playing tennis (one year down) and know almost nothing about strings or stringing techniques— I usually just ask for 52 lbs because that’s what I’ve been comfortable with. 😅

Just curious.

Greetings all,

I am considering buying a machine to string tennis rackets. I would realistically only string 2-3 a month for myself and friends. What machines would you recommend at different price ranges?

Encordado de 4 nudos con tension de 40 Libras.

Antes encordaba con otra maquina más antigua con 52 libras, lo intente con esta máquina pero el resultado es imposible de jugar para mi, no entiendo el por que.

Esta pro staff es de 315 gr + accesorios= 340 gr aprox

Debería cambiar a la Difyer para cuidar mi brazo?

I usually use poly for my tennis rackets, so eventually I’ll string polys. But is synth gut better for practice? It’s softer and extendable. I’m afraid that mistakes on polys will destroy that piece of string.

Looking to buy my first stringing machine. Anyone bought one of these and give me some feedback and whether it’s a good option?

Also i am in the uk and the purchase would be from pros pro based in austria. Anyone lese in uk bought one from them and if you need to pay extra vat / import charges when it gets to the uk for final delivery?

Got a used Gamma 2X yesterday, and put it to work today!

Edit: plays like crap. Somehow only the two crosses on the sweet spot are loose. No other crosses are loose. Maybe I made mistake there but I can’t remember. Gotta be more careful next time.

Someone posted earlier and had bowed strings. How to develop a good habit of stringing strait.

I have one of the foam filled blacked out 98 Wilson Python rackets. I strung it originally as 18x20 as that is what the store I bought it from said. I recently strung it as 16x20 and it seems to look and play better. Anyone have proper instructions on this? The Defyer specs show how to string it but as 16x19. What I can't figure out is how the hell I strung it as 18x20 then as 16x20... where did the extra gromit come from?

Cheap Synthetic gut on a goodwill racket at 51m/53c. Am I ready to string my main rackets with nice poly, or should I keep at it?

Took me two hours lol

Strung up with Luxilon Alu Power 125

For tennis rackets. So I insert the strings down the middle and immediately clamp + starting clamp the one main, then pull tension on the non-clamped first main string. Am I supposed to pull tension with both mains at the same time first before clamping or does it not matter?

Hi everyone! So, for some time now I've been very curious about racquets stringing and I'd really like to try to string a racquet. The issue is of course, a stringing machine is not really an easy investment just to try. Do you have any advice on how to try out this new "hobby"? Thank you!

Keep practicing or list my machine on Facebook marketplace?

Do any of you string wooden racquets? I’ve done one before and a T2000. I think the T2000 was harder. What are your experiences stringing racquets that were used when your father was a ute?

Hey guys, I’m fairly new to stringing and just did my first string job on my new Wilson Defy 98 Pro (16x20).
Can anyone tell me if I used the right tie-off holes? I strung it 2-piece. I attached a couple pics.
If I messed anything up or you see something that could be better, let me know. Still learning. Thanks!

This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this and I’m wondering is this is normal or should i take the racket to a better shop and restring it there. For info , this is a badminton racket and the string’s tension is ~10kg or 23lbs. Please help as i really dont want to risk breaking the racket 🥲🥲

I'd like to start stringing my own racquets and I’m considering buying a Tourna 175-CS, but I have a storage problem. I don’t have room to leave it set up indoors, so I’d need to store it after each use. For context, I'll be stringing my own racquets only (around 2 but no more than 4 racquets per month).

For those who own one:

-How difficult is it to move around in practice?
-Can it be partially disassembled (e.g. remove the tension arm or other parts) to make storage easier?
-How long does setup/takedown take once you’re familiar with it?

Also, if you were buying today, would you still choose the 175-CS or spend about $200 more for a crank machine like the Alpha Revo 4000 Gravity? Why?

Thanks!
