After a bit of unforeseen issue with the fixed clamp and some holiday events. Now the machine is back in business with new gripper. It does make the process smoother. But most importantly, the stringer-in-chief at home says she likes it.
I just ordered one today from aliexpress £120 including delivery&tax from UK for my series12 wise machine
I have upgraded my wise v12 with new gripper very solid and gentle on string it is 100% better than original
I've string maybe 10 rackets since. It makes the wise feels more like a high end machine. Solid and smooth operation.
It looks good.. I'm tempted... is it from Allpha Sporting Store you buy it from? They seem to have 2 different product pages https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005501384078.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003534387890.html I might also upgrade to automatic bases.. not sure that will give a big improvement though?
The first one has that "auto raise" function once tension is applied. Best see the video on the product page. It's a gimmick, but given the prices are the same, I'd go for that one if I had to choose. Personally, I think that any button-release clamp bases are a must. Forget the semi-automatic release function when the clamp drops down - I haven't heard of anybode actually using this feature. It's that clearly defined locking and unlocking feel that makes the actual difference and imo clearly is worth the extra money.
Yes I bought it from alpha sporting store I didn't like the other one this one looks and feel solid they have for v12&14 https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ev8naHb Also I bought site support from them which very good and secure for racket https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ExMv YiH https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EuelP1r https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ewi1BHP Automatic bases clamp https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EyaUJUH https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EuzyPTb For tennis&badminton https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EQLiGiz All are high quality
Hi I'm having some problem the string gripper doesn't go back to the place automatically it doesn't release string any solution
Your photo has the Wise under tension. After clamping, press the button at the end and the gripper will release and return to start position. Video would help if i misunderstood your question.
I think the gripper needs some maintenance (lubrification) Seems like the gripper isn't actually under tension (it's all the way back to its idle position)
Hi I bought this part through your link just want to know is it possible to adjust the gripper I have done around 50 rackets now string slipping during work process with original part I have done around 700 rackets never cleaned never adjusted can you please let me know otherwise I have to send it back thank you
I’m afraid i can’t help you with that issue since I don’t own that module anymore. I’d start with sind cleaning the gripper plates with Isopropanol and check if anything has come loose. I don’t remember that there is any possibility to adjust the closing gap of the plates.
It is pretty new abd I cleaned with isopropanol but still slipped when I string tennis racket it work perfectly so gripper is a bit bigger for badminton racket
Im hoping its just a simple fix for the issue mentioned by 'Jahed Ahmed' above. I've just ordered the non raising head today as there is a sale and the price inc delivery was just under £100. The raising head was about £20 more which i didnt mind paying but was told by the supplier that the gripper didnt have the texture surface whcih i thought would be a big dissavatange. Looking forward to getitng this and trying it out.
