    If you look at the second photo that I've uploaded, the Chudek support has more real estate for me to push and pull strings through shared grommets, and it's easier for my pliers to maneuver in the extra space. Also, I like the contact points of the Chudek supports compared to the original ones.

    Old one

    And here's "new one"

    Just got it from a store that has closed.

    Tension was a 0.5 lbs higher. It might be more of weight scale that is the problem.

    I used to have a siabosi drop weight. But jobs was not good and i was not good. Then i had silent partner drop weight. Not good because the post were not high enough and that makes weaving difficult.

    The old ektelon looks like a piece of junk but it's pleasure to string with that.

    My first stringing machine and it is so nice! Obviously I don’t have any comparison however I will probably upgrade in a couple of years time, any tips on speeding up stringing with a drop weight? Currently took me 1hr 15mins

    Practise, practise and even more practise. 1:15 is a pretty decent time already, but it should't be too long until you break the 1 hour mark or even reach 45 minutes.

    Sounds like I need to start cutting people’s string on the sly to get more work

    Are those clamps the ones which came with the machine? Seems like they've given them an upgrade.
    1:15 is an excellent time to start with.

    I purchased the badminton clamps as extra’s as it only came tennis clamps but they are the Penta clamps to match the machine.

    Thanks, beginners luck I think haha

    Turn the side supports around.

    Edit: and get a load spreader for the 12 o'clock position.

    Yeah, I did the exact same thing.

    Also don't forget to buy a new bottle of ketchup while you're out.

    Personally I find BBQ sauce works better for painting strings

    Also move your towers closer together, try to keep the metal support at 12 and 6 vertical rather than at an angle

    Awesome thanks for that, I’ll move them ASAP so I don’t forget haha, one question is....
    What’s the best way to put a rough and smooth string on the racket?

    I mean like a single string at the bottom that you would use to choose who serves, it’s old school but I like it
