actually which one is good for badminton ? suspension mounting or hold-down/press-down mounting ? Eagnas offers Challenger-2 with Smart-990H mounting system (hold-down/press-down) for ex-work price of US$175 only Challenger-2 : http://www.eagnas.com/lilylee/chaln2.html Smart-990H : http://www.eagnas.com/lilylee/sm990h.html Also upright machine normally comes with brake system, is it necessary for stringing activity? I have Eagnas Combo-912 with disc-brake, but almost never use the brake system. Please advise .... thanks
For a six-point suspension machine, the quality of the machine makes a huge difference. Your above suspension machine is fine up to 31 lbs. Anything above that requires more adjustment.
thanks Pete, -actually I would like to have opinion from expert here for the suspension system and hold-down system especially at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. - also how often you use the brake system ? I almost never used the brake when string badminton racquets or tennis racquets. what is the actual function or when you guys use the brake ? thanks ...
I'm no expert. But I would think the hold-down system will have less twisting force on the racket compared with the suspension system. And there should be less chance of any vertical slippage/movement.
