    hi~! i just bought a yonex string machine(2nd hand ,not ES5Pro,is the model that b4 ES5Pro,manual one)...from my friend....
    and i found the tension is much more different(lose) if compare to ashaway machine....
    let said i have a racket strung 23 lbs with the ashaway machine is much more high tension than my yonex string machine....why?
    if ashaway strung 23lbs...mine yonex will be 29lbs ....is it right or just something happen to my string machine?
    and my other friend got Fleet string machine and his one is more crazy high tension compare to mine....if his machine strung at 22lbs...mine need 36lbs...
    is there any different between this machines....
    or is it my flying clamp doesnt work well?
    can someone answer my worry here....
    thanks for reading....

    Have you calibrated the machine? That is probably where your problem lies.

    Do your friends have electronic constant pull machines? They feel tighter than cranks.

    which racket used, try use same racket brand and model
    string also, .66 string will feel tighter compared to .70 (with same tension). maybe try to minimize the variables as much as you can.
