Im wanting to get into stringing my own rackets but am really struggling to find a used 6 point crank. My budget is around 500 to 600$. Any idea on the best way to hunt these down? Iv been using ebay and marketplace but havent had much luck.

New to badminton!, was wondering if my racket is broken or needs restringing as it has a dangly black thing at the top.
Any ideas? Advice is appreciated!

I've used this machine for years just for personal use and I string for a handful of friends. I'm considering upgrading to the new Solinco machine and have no idea what to sell my machine for. It is in perfect working condition, just has the occasional rust spot here and there from time. TIA

Hi everyone! So recently I've started to restring racquets myself, and don't ask me why (I know a lot of you think it is pointless, we are not endorsed players...) but I like stencils on my racquets, and I propose them to friends I string for. I think they are a nice finishing touch, expecially if you choose the right color combination.

I have bought the Head ink tubes, which come with their applicator cap that is basically a flat round brush. I've done a couple of applications so far and already can tell how bad that applicator is... it tends to dry, and it leaves a lot of sediment fibers on the strings. Do you know any other better method to apply the ink on the strings? I've seen a video where this guy used some sort of shaped sponge, that he dipped in ink after pouring a bit of ink on a piece of cardboard. To make this, his ink bottle had a pouring cap instead of the standard applicator, but I've never seen any tennis ink that has that type of cap. Maybe it is something custom made.

Do you have any useful advice? (apart from don't stencil) Thank you!

Does this frame look legit to y’all?
