    Hi!

    Just a question, how would you rate the machine with the new tensioner with something like a Gamma X-ES which has an electric tensioner. Is the Wise tensioner pretty much like the same as the one you can get from Gamma? They have a $500 upgrade for their tensioner as well. Thanks.

    Eric

    I haven't worked with a rotary tensioner in any detail to make an accurate comparison but after 60+ rackets with the Wise linear gripper, I absolutely love it. It's first-rate.

    Achtung!!!

    I am back into the constant-pull family again! A TENNIS HEAD just arrived at my door. Sorry, I have to fix my camera first before I can take photos. Gamma 6004 + TENNIS HEAD = one very sweet ECP. Hail Panda! :D

    I was just thinking, for those of you who may not have noticed, Dink cut the turntable on the ends so that he could get the string gripper as close as possible.

    From the video, the machine seems to take abit longer to get to the desired tension.
