    Thanks for the suggestion! (Your not a shill are you :p?)

    I like the AM200's C shaped racket pads/brackets/mount thingies — looks more secure than the ones used in ASE and Pro's Pro Shuttle Express — and their N&S floating suspension (I'm not a big fan of clamp down for some reason).

    Oh and it appears that the Exthree AM200 is identical to the Hi-Qua machine sold on mybadmintonstore. Compare the prices and take your pick ;)

    Now to find out if I can put the WISE on it...

    It will depend on the length of the main bar. on the Alpha version it's 56 or so cm and the wise will fit with just a few holes to drill (you'll be wanting to use a pillar drill so you get them nice and straight). On the pro's pro the bar is about 10cm shorter, so to fit the wise you need to either get a new bar, different feet (or a floor stand) or raise it up a little, like so:

    I used some spent cable tie plastic tails (zip ties) which happened to be exactly the right size,and put some heat shrink over the top to hold them in place. t left me with a square mount instead of a round one, which is kinder to racket frames. I'll take some close up photos tomorrow if you like.
