r/RacketStringers

This is my new Nanoflare 1000zz and im playing ot for around 10 sessions and got my string cut today morning. I have immediately cut the strings and inspected the frame there were no cracks

Post stringing i saw these, asked the stringer he told its just paint chip off, im worried

Can someone advise

Used Eagnas with electronic tensioner, what is it worth? Planning to test the tensioner before purchasing.

Wondering how much you’d pay if it’s in working order?
Finding stringers around here are hard to come by and expensive but could get a great deal on this.

My logic is it will help me learn to string with an electronic tensioner and worst case I can always replace the head with a Wise 2086 if I get serious.

Also keen to hear any tips for checking over the condition before purchasing.

Have an older constant pull machine and noticed last two string jobs seem to be looser than the 50lb I set. Anyone have recommendations on how to calibrate? I test tension before every job and adjust the internal knobs when needed. Is there a best practice to find the correct tension with the internal screws? My other theory is that the string I’m using to test tension may be well past its prime- is this a thing? Should I replace my testing string occasionally or is the reading always accurate?

Hey guys

Recently had a cracked RF01 at 12 from stringing, this is the same machine my stringer used. I got a fresh new stick and started using this leather piece that fits perfectly between the grommet holes at both 12 and 6.

It’s 2mm thick and isn’t too soft or pliable. Would this be a good solution to prevent the same problem from happening again?

Is the mounting too tight still? I did make sure the knobs were turned just til the mounts were touching the 12 and 6 (snug) and somehow the leather seemed crushed.

I have no access to purchasing a load spreader or even finding a stringer who uses one in my area.

I’ve been stringing for people for a while, and I eventually got tired of trying to keep track of everything in spreadsheets and notes.

Which string did I use in this racket last time? What tension did they want? Do I still have that string in stock? How many rackets did I string this month? I don't have my data to answer it on the spot.

So of course with the help of AI, I had an outlet for all my random ideas.

You can basically use the app to track anything a stringer might want. The idea isn’t to create some huge tennis business platform. I just wanted something useful for people who string on the side or run a small stringing business.

I’m still working on it so I figured this would be a good place to get feedback from people who actually string for others.

What’s the one thing you wish you had an easier way to keep track of?

Here is the app https://racquetlog.com/

And since I built it, feel free to tell me why it sucks or what’s missing. I appreciate

Picked this up for $20 bucks the other day! Figured for that price I might as well give it a go! No clamps or tools included, so any recommendations in that department would be appreciated. Was thinking of the Stringway Flying Clamps
