Superstringer t12 upgrades

Really depends on how much you want to invest.
- semi-automatic clamp bases
- Chudek side supports
- WISE 2086 tension head

So you are already on the right track with your ideas imo.

 

And they won’t be coming back to Tennisman. So I’m afraid you’ll have to look on Aliexpress.

And speaking of Aliexpress, these might be an even better solution than the Chudeks:

I’ve seen them on the new iTennis machines and they are just brilliant.

 

You need to measure the mounting hole distance to be sure, but afaik they should fit.

And they should be the fitting semi-automatic bases:

But again, make sure to measure if you have the 12.0 or 12.2 mm diameter clamp posts.

 

It had that feature, but imo nobody uses it. The right process is still to first release the base, then the clamp.

The biggest advantage is the spring loaded locking mechanism that is released with the push of a button. Looks like this:

And that is just very convenient and comfy.

 

All good worthy upgrades, but if i were to put an order of Should Have to Nice to have:
1) WISE 2086 tension head (~1K CAD after exchange + duty + shipping new)
...
Chudek/The other supports (~$100 CAD max all in)
Semi-automatic clamp bases.(~$300-500 for a pair + shipping etc)

There's a reason of the 3 the largest investment is the Wise.
I would hold back on the latter two until you figure out what you need after you get a Wise.

If you string an average of 10 rackets a month for 12 months, that should pay for a new WISE alone. You just have to plan and budget carefully.

I didn't change my drop weight to my previous Gamma + WISE setup until 5 years of use. That setup lasted 10 years until i'm now using a victor VE-50. With my drop weight i was averaging 50-200 rackets a year. My previous setup 200-700 rackets a year. With my new machine i'm estimating an annual avg of 400-500 but am prepared to revisit 600-700.

Based on that above data (started with a spreadsheet, I wrote my own app in-house to track all clients and string jobs) it makes it easier to plan and determine where and how far you want to take your stringing hobby to.

This level of detail and thought i put into is why i find stringing soothing and stress relieving.

 

I was looking at these on AliExpress alongside some clamps as the ones that came with my Gamma Progression ST II have started to lose the diamond coating. But I need some help with figuring out if the clamp base fits and which fixed clamp fits the clamp base. I have included the links to the item I am looking at below.

Any advice or insight into this would be greatly appreciated thanks!

 

I cannot give you any advice if the bases fit the rails on a Gamma machine. Regarding the clamps, you just need to make sure that the shaft diameters of both clamps and base fit. So 12.0 or 12.2 mm for example.

 

cool thx

Good luck. Can't comment on which height works for your setup.
