Greetings All,
This is my first post here so don't be hard on me.
Through the Search option I did not find what I was looking for, so here I am asking my questions.
I am an amateur with almost 10 years of playing experience (with no stringing experience whatsoever). Recently I purchased a Yonex MP77, and after about 2 days of play I broke the string (is this a correct expression?).
Now I need to:
1. Obtain knowledge on how to restring racquets;
2. Purchase a piece of equipment to help me with point 1.
In this context, I have a couple of questions:
- is there a good source (link, reading, etc.) where I can get a good knowledge of stringing techniques? Preferably, "step-by-step", oriented for novice users.
- I found several companies producing stringing equipment/pieces of equipment (Eagnas from Taiwan, Aeroplance (a machine offered for $250 from Moscow, Russia). Considering all of this equipment is sold at relatively high prices, I need to make a balanced choice in terms of quality vs. price. Can anyone recommend good quality reasonably-priced equipment? Also, I would be very appreciative for any guidelines in this respect, i.e. which companies are recognized by the badminton community as producers of high-quality stringing equipment?
Thanks!
