Beautiful. Let me know if you ever decide to sell the machine ;-) I'll drive down to Montreal to get it.
It's just 10kg. Can't be 15. If you adjust the weight then to just 10, you are so close to the gripper that the drop weight mechanism can't work. BTW You should quit smoking. I quit around 2 years ago and feel much better.
Here´s my Pro's Pro Challenger 1 with Michal Chudek Side Supports. Any comments or tipps regarding positioning of supports or anything else are highly welcome!
Do you have gravity issues where you are? I bet this causes havoc with your drop weight machine......... I have a Pro's Pro machine, TX700, and have the main uprights further apart and the Chudek frame supports in the outer most holes, works fine.
Yeah, it's a real pain in the lower back if you have to push the handle upwards all the time. Next time I will not start stringing on Ascension Day! Do you see any advantages when the main uprights are further apart? Touching points for the side supports on the racket should practically be the same if you put them in the outer holes.
To be honest, I haven't found any advantage or disadvantage, its just the way I like it and it works for us. Two of us string on this machine, me and my son, and we don't have any issues with it, and up to now, no breakages.......or have I spoken too soon!
