    A few months ago, my Wise head's lead screw worked very loudly and I thought it was time for maintenance, but I did not know which lubricate oil should work for it.
    Then I emailed Tennis Head to get some advice, and they gave some information:
    + Wise head's Lead Screw: Silicone spray (WD-40 Specialist® Silicone Lubricant/ WD-40 high performance silicone lubricant).
    +Gripper's Jaw: 3in1 lubricate oil (lubricate every 20 to 30 rackets or as needed if it gets dry sooner).

    I did the maintenance and now I am satisfied without crazy sounds

    I am having some issues with my WISE 2086 too. It's really a weird problem and I was wondering if lubricating it with WD-40 would resolve it. It would creak when it starts to tension the string and checking with a calibration tool, it's off by about 0.3 to 0.5lbs.

    I don't know about the Wise, but WD40 should not be used as a lubricant. Use it for cleaning. Then use a lubricant.

    hi! I had the same issue before, cause the main shaft was too dry and needed to be lubricated.
    You can not use the normal WD-40. It must be the Silicone spray (like WD-40 specialist silicon)

    I agree, the normal WD-40 should not be used as a lubricant
