Have had this machine for 4 years now. I recommend this machine highly. Best investment and ROI has already paid itself multiple times. If you have juniors who play competitive tennis then you need one of these. Thank you for posting this video.

Do you have any complaints for this machine? I've been using a Klippermate for 2 years and would love an upgrade. This machine is noticeabley cheaper than some of its competitors like the Gamma progression st ii, and I wonder if there's a difference in features. But 6pt mount, fixed clamps, crank... hard to complain, right?

Hi, I only had it for 2 stringing jobs before I got another good deal. At the time, I had no complaints and it felt really high quality for me!

When doing the mains never go more than 3 ahead from the opposite side, and when doing the crosses why not use the starting clamp and do a finishing knot instead of a starting knot (which damages the grommet long term)?

I see where you're coming from. I started off doing 3 at a time, but slowly increased it and haven't seen any issues. My racquets are over 12 years old. Regarding the starting clamp for crosses, there are pros and cons to both ways. With a starting clamp, you have tension loss from tying the knot after; additionally, my bumper guard needs to get replaced way before any damage happens to the grommet.

You got a good machine there. At 1:44 there's slack when you started pulling. Very important to keep it level

Ok Josh-- got this thing unboxed and assembled. Serious question: Is the crank really just set in place with no firm attachment method? No pin, no screw, no nuthin? Seems like it will just be quite easy to pull off. I went through all the hardware provided and don't see anything that would be used to attach the crank. Thanks!

Are you talking about the handle?? Yep it just slides in! When I first got it I disassembled the whole assembly for no reason to switch sides and ended up wasting time haha.

@@diyjosh Thanks, sir! Strange design choice, but alright! If it pops out I'll come up with a way to rig it. I found a review where someone actually complained about this because he said the handle did keep coming off when he pulled tension. No easy way to secure it.

1:35 What's the purpose of putting the floating clamp behind the fixed clamp? Love the video btw! I actually prefer the sound of a drop weight machine when it comes to the ASMR aspect but the crank is pretty satisfying too!

Hey James! I read somewhere that when clamping against the opposite side of the string with no tension, it's harder for the clamp to grip. The floating clamp adds a little bit more security to prevent slipoping.
@bengray5013

It’s called a starting clamp, not a floating clamp. It’s purpose at 1.35 is to prevent slippage of the string in the fixed clamp mechanism when starting the first pull...

Will the fixed clamps adjust for badminton string??
@diyjosh

In terms of spacing, they don't adjust width wise. If that works for badminton, then you should be good to go. In terms of tightness, you can adjust the clamps on hard they grip.
