    I have been following this thread, but not replying, as well. Really curious if the machines are available!

    Really Cool! That one Looks Great.

    Joining this thread too since this motor looks sooo smooth. Really interested about the pricing though and if there might be a version also suitable for tennis-tensions too. Whilst I'm mostly stringing badminton rackets, I still have a few tennis rackets in between and it wouldn't make sense for me to have a second machine for those.

    I was told the machine will be upgraded to handle tennis stringing as well. So it will take a little while to get the revised version done.

    Hi Kwun, have you managed to review this machine yet? Ive been using my pros pro xp Plus for about 8 years now, constantly bringing it back from the dead with new parts and all. But i think its time to upgrade my machine now... and would be very interested in getting one of these in the UK if possible.

    The manufacturer is updating the machine to accommodate tennis tension as well. So it will be a little while before I get to touch it.

    You guys will be the first to know, of course. :)

    if someone send me a review sample. $825 seems rather overpriced given WISE is a couple hundred lower than that.

    Actually this is very interesting. I have used the wise tension head. I worked for a tennis shop which had this. This one looks very similar but I can tell if its Korean motor parts it must have some serious quality to it. I have been seeing a major change in the quality of Korean products. These efforts are being recognized especially in Skincare and I will definitely consider getting this one.

    I am aware this also has less parts. And less parts means not much is going to wrong as someone already mentioned. I need simplicity especially at the quantity I string at. I currently have a Wise at my shop but looking to switch as its definitely needing replacement in coming time. Thanks for the great share!

    I can't wait for it. I think you may accept pre-order. Should have bundles of pre-order. I'll be the first one. Hahaha:p
