Does anyone have any experience with this model? I know that Alpha is a good brand for stringing machines in terms of quality, but I'd like to hear from others specifically about this machine since it seems to be difficult to find.
Alpha is a great brand, great customer support and good products but i have never heard of the machine you are asking about... where did you first hear about this machine?
I'm planning to buy one too! http://www.alphatennis.com/badminmachine.html Is it any good? Does those flying clamp do a good job? Will the mounting system to be safety at higher tension? From the design of the machine, it is very similar to Yonex ST-200 and Gosen AM200, it definitely better than those Eagnas ST-200.
the shuttle express and the am200 are identical. I thought the yonex and eagnas st-200 were the same as well...
That's correct. The Gosen AM-200 (http://www.gosen.jp/string-machine/machine/am-200.html) and Alpha Shuttle Express (http://www.alphatennis.com/badminmachine.html) are identical. The Yonex ST-200 (http://www.hiclear.co.kr/acce/Yonex_stringmachine_ST-200.htm) is identical to the Eagnas ST-200 (http://www.eagnas.com/st200.html). I've even heard of an Eagnas ST-200 coming with a Yonex Carrying Case once.
