The teeth look very big. How can they fit when there's small caps in between strings, namely, the corner area at the very top and bottom of crosses?
I will at a later time. Maybe when LB is here!!! LB, please bring your digital camera along . Mine sucks in the resolution department. For Babolat Sensor, we can go to Tad and ask Gary to borrow his machine when he is not busy stringing (I doubt he isn't busy most of the time).
The tennis fixed clamps don't fit well at all. I use Yonex and Gamma flying clamps for every cross string.
They can hold the stirng fine, but they're just so chunky they get in the way. It's useful though, when doing the mains, and you have to clamp the 9th and 12th main string.
ATS Super Stringer 2 Hi, This is my ATS Super Stringer 2. It currently has the following: - dropweight(10lb to 90lb) - 2pt mounting - 2 badminton clamps, 2 tennis clamps - 4 different spacers - Basic tools(awl, pliers, wire cutter, etc) - Lazybuddy Starting Pin <---Favorite Top View: Posts with Spacers: Racket Mounted: Offtopic: Tennis Rackets -Thanks for looking
Very nice setup. One question, as you can see from the picture "racquet mounted" the tide off hole is blocked by the plate. How do you tide the last knot?
Good question. If I'm starting the crosses, I would use an anchor knot to start the process. This knot can be slid down easily onto the grommet with the top plate on. When I am finished with the crosses and need to tie the last string off with a double half-hitch knot, I slightly remove the top plate and turn it 90 degrees and re-tighten. According to the engineer at ATS, he said that if the racket is completely strung and cannot loose tension, it would be fine removing the top plate because the next step would be removing the racket once it's finished.
Good setup. Maybe also keep a nail cutter handy (but keep away from strings), it works much better than razor blade or wire cutter.
Hi Malayali, I just purchased a Flash 930. Was wondering if the badminton racquet being strung rests flatly on all four K brackets and on the black pads on the head and throat. Seems on my machine, if the rackets lays on the K brackets, it doesn't touch the black pads -- it is maybe 3/8" too high.. Thanks, Wayne
Sorry, didnt see the post until now... On my machine, racket head rests perfectly on the black pads and the k brackets; I will take some pictures and post it soon.....
Hi Malayali -- Thanks for responding. Here's a couple of views of what my "problem" is. When the racket is placed on the K brackets -- it doesn't touch the head/throat black pads. Is it supposed to? When Eagnas states suspension mounting system and 10 point support -- do they mean side and bottom support for the 4 K brackets (8 total) and then side support for the head/throat (2 total) for 10 points? I'm wondering if there is some adjustment to make the black pads higher. As a work around, I might find something to place on the black pads so the head and throat touch and rest on it... Thanks, Wayne
It is not supposed to touch the black pads; It is supposed to be slightly higher and thats fine; You have to be very careful to give extra padding at the head to avoid "high-noon" disease. That is correct(10 point system) As far as I know there is no way to make the black pads higher; But then again, the 'key" to give lots of padding at the 12 O' clock position.
Do you have some interchangeable coverings for the K supports ? Yours are set up for tennis, so the bottom part of the K can make it harder to clamp near the frame. This is the sort of thing you are looking for
Hi Malayali, I'm not sure how good this stringing machine is for badminton if the racket doesn't touch the black pads at the head/throat. Since the Flash 930 seems to be built more for tennis, the side K brackets meet too close to the middle of the badminton racket (rather than the shoulder), and of course, there is NO adjustment. Without bottom support at the head/throat, and the lack of "shoulder" support, I'm sure the badminton racket will "flex" under tension if the Flash 930 isn't modified. I guess the easiest is to add additional padding to the black pads. It would also be nice to drill new holes in the side support arms to move the k brackets closer to the shoulder. If you look at the Flash 960 -- there is an extra hole to move the k bracket closer to the shoulder, but not on our Flash 930's I havn't strung a racket yet on the Flash 930 yet, but will let you know how it went... Thanks, Wayne
Hi Neil, As far as I know, Eagnas doesn't have interchangeable coverings for the K bracket -- wish they had I'll look around some more. What machine is that pictured in your post? Thanks, Wayne
partially homemade, it used to be a ferry force (http://www.coacheric.nl/cms/uploads/images/ferry_force_600.gif) huge dropweight, blocking sidesupport, mountingplates right beneath the racket, slow-ass-gripper, no clamps now it's this: tensionrange up to 18kgs, free suspension, supports not blocking anymore (done with shrinksleeve btw)
