[MENTION=99223]msitpro[/MENTION] - yes i believe that's what [MENTION=30781]AZbadman[/MENTION] is referring too. This link below has some photos of the base on a different machine and the dimensions. Hope this helps: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/97141-GAMMA-quick-action-base-clamps-MQAC-10-and-MQAC-11
I have to big up the Pro's Pro Universal clamp - five teeth, perfect spacing for badminton, and they can be had for twenty quid. My only issue is with the handles - the early ones had a really nice, sudden "knee" to the locking action, but the more recent ones are more rounded (but easy to rectify with a belt grinder).
Based on general consensus from this thread when a stringer decides to upgrade their existing clamps that the following are recommended (it all depends on budget): 1) Toyozouki Clamps: GM-02106 ($$$$) 2) Gamma Badminton Clamps: MDCSC-13 or MDCSC-11) ($$) 3) Pro's Pro Clamps: WA3342 and WA3343 ($) Correct me if i'm wrong.
I don't think the Pro's Pro clamps cost enough to deserve to be called an upgrade - indeed, many machines now come with them as standard.
Just curious how you get the clamps, from what I read on the Google translated page they don't ship outside Japan?
Send them an email with your interest and request a quote (make sure you include your mailing address). Money talks =) Most likely they will ask what model machine you have. Be honest that your are buying for a non-yonex/toyozouki machine. They will warn you that it may not fit. As a buyer you just have to accept that risk (hence all the discussion about post diameter and post length of the clamps)
Has anyone got a problem with the Pro's Pro clamps where it gets stuck on the string bed refusing to fall on gravity until you unlock your clamp base? The Pro's Pro clamps i have doesn't have the springy snappy return upon release (WA3342) My PP dud clamps unlocks like the first 10 seconds of the video below. The tasty looking clamp from 00:14 onwards does snaps beautifully. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTgyMDU5MTQw.html
does anyone have any experience about the difference between the gamma MDCSC-11 vs MMSC-13. besides double in price?
The current Gamma MDCSC-13 looks more like this: https://www.atssports.com/tennis.cfm?product=2961 I'm having trouble calibrating it so it doesn't slip or damage the string, I'm testing with BG85, and I start at 26 LBS and move up to 32 LBS. I find that no matter what I try, the edge towards the tensioner will always fray slightly. I'm wondering if it's my rotational gripper, or just the clamps itself?
You should hold the clamp at the same level of your gripper and keep the clamp in-line with the gripper when you calibrate. Otherwise thinner strings tend to get stripped, because you pull the string up or against the edges of the clamps.
Does anyone know if this ones http://www.tennisman.de/Weiteres/Be...OFI-Haltezange-Universal-High-End-1-Stck.html will actually fit the Clamp Base of a Victor C7030?
I'm not sure what you mean here, but I'm just using a loose piece of string to make adjustments to the fixed clamps. So I guess there's no tension at all? I pretty much watched all your stringing tutorials, and I was following your fixed clamp adjustment video, more or less Another user suggested that I slightly lift the clamps higher when I tension that might alleviate some margin of error.
Is it right that you've put a spring between the clamp and the base clamp, so the clamp itself is positioned higher when using the Gamma supports?
Does anyone knows, how long the whole Toyozouki clamp is (so from top to bottom)? In cm would be great
