lol.. imagine if the machine was made by NASA.. sheesh.. 30kgs tension instead of 30lbs! oops... exploding racquets comes to mind
This is probably because Yonex/Thailand tells them not to do so due to warranty claims (minimizing them). I know one Yonex shop here that frowns upon stringing higher than the Yonex recommended tensions as well.
funny you mention it... teh first time my dad tried to string a racket he misplaced the weight (drop weight machine) he set teh weight at 8 kg....but he measured form the bottom of teh weight..in steda of teh top...racket splitted at 3 'o clock...guess a ti-6 can't take 18kg...
I did and she strung 2 of my rackets at 26lbs and 27lbs. Which they dont usually strung for their customers.
Did you ask her to inserts one pad (leather or plastic) into the head support and one into the throat support?
Mercedes of stringing machines. The Tension is accurate and slighly lower than the crank machines. However the headshape is almost perfect when its strung with the Espro.
Yeah, i think i over calibrated my machine. I'm still waiting for my German made Laser calibrator. Btw they have 2 Espro for your info. I was telling her not to be too rough to the strings when using the awl on them.
Hmm, the moment you walk out the door she would continue to use the awl the same rough way - string and racquet. What is the brand of the German laser calibrator? Do you the company's website?
HAhaha you are right about that. Well probably she want to have it done faster. If its her racket.. maybe she might do it slower hehehe. I cant remembered what is the name of the laser calibrator. As for as i know they dont have a website. Will post some pics once i get it in November.
I just went yesterday to the WTC shop in bkk to get a NS8000 and chatted a little bit with the girls doint the stringing job. In my opinion they can string extremely fast thanks to this anice Yonex machine but i am quite unsure about the quality of the stringing technique. Is there a specific stringing pattern recommended by Yonex for each racket (or at least line e.g. Armortec, NS, MP etc...)? Thanks in advance.
Ok I found some interesting info on the Forum concerning the stringing techniques for AT800 and NS. This Forum is a real gold mine . BTW how do i edit my previous post?
Its ok , you can just leave it as it is. Btw the staffs there does pretty good job in stringing now. The lady who does stringing plays badminton as well.
with minimal training (such as even reading the manual) this machine is pretty foolproof. very simple techniques are required such as pulling the crosses in a V pattern to avoid friction burn, getting through shared holes, proper tying of the knots... other than that I don't see how they can go wrong...
Its kind of funny that they allow me to string the TH racket up to 29lbs and when i gave them my SP racket they don't allow. But then i manage to get away with it. Heheheh
I alway have this thing...if a stringer says no to a tension such as 24lbs which i've used and KNOW it won't break the frame. i'll tell them i won't hold them responsible if it breaks, and they STILL won't do the frame... what's the point? ants why do you need 29lbs? you're a beast!
Just for the fun of it. Actually the racket i wont be using and since the tension will drop day by day , i might as well strung it higher tension. Btw you can really feel the difference between electronic machine compare to the manual ones. String bed feels tight and the tension hold much better. Even the sound sounds the same after many games.
