Force
The machine can be set between 4 and 45 kg's so all possible forces for tennis and badminton rackets. The machine could be set on kg's or lbs, the features below are described in kg's but this is all the same for lbs.
Pre-stretch
The machine has pre-stretch which is very important for stringing at the right force. When tensioning at, for example 25 kg, the machine tensions a short time just a bit extra (you can choose 10/15/20/25% extra) and then go back to the set kg's. This is because the string has some friction with the racket when it goes outside the racket.
Knot function
The knot function adds a few kg extra to the force, which is necessary for knotting the string at the end (it looses some tension). You can set yourself how much extra kg's you want when pressing the "Knot" button. It only adds 1 time the extra kg's so when you knot the length strings and then starts at the width strings, the knot force stopped and the originally force is again set back.
Constant Pull
The machine has constant pull, which results in always the right force on the string. When stringing, the machine shows the force on the display continuous and stops when reaching the set kg's. It continuous measures the force on the string and compensates all the time lower or higher.
Self calibrating
The machine is self calibrating. Because the machine continuous measures the force on the string and displays this, it don't need to be calibrated, always the number of kg's is the right kg's.
Table model
The machine is a table model machine and we also have a different model with a foot but most customers prefer the table model.
Rackets
The machine can string all size rackets like tennis, badminton, squash, etc. Also the bigger tennis rackets fit in the racket holder.
Transportation
Because the machine is a table model, the machine can easily be put into a car to take to a tournament.
Clambs
The 2 fixed clambs perfectly fit into the clamb holder without any backlashes. The clambs have 5 points/fingers for holding the string so these don't hurt the string. These clambs are high quality and could be set smaller or bigger easily. Also the clamb holders are high quality and never have problems like some other machines have.
Included (see picture)
2 fixed clambs, 2 awls, cutting nipper, nose plier, draw awl, Machine, 110/220V cable, English manual.
The machine can be sent from China and The Netherlands (Europe) from stock. The shipment from China by plane will take about 2 weeks. The shipment within Europe will take max. 4 days.
We have a good English manual and a website "racketclub.nl" with information and video's about the machine and a training for stringing a tennis racket.
The Racketclub is specialized in sports machines and especially ball machines and stringing machines. We have our own service centre and on our website is a lot of detailed information for easy problems.
Is the machine suitable for squash rackets?
--> Sure, this machine is the perfect machine for all kind of rackets like tennis, badminton and squash.
I never strung a racket, is it difficult to learn?
--> No, The Racketclub has some video's for stringing a racket with especially this machine. Everyone can learn how to string a racket.
Is the machine good for shops?
--> The features are great for a shop but the machine is a table model machine so you should think about the table/desk to put the machine for the person who do the stringing, the height should be suitable for the person who strings.
