Hey, Thanks a lot for making the video, and I appreciate the time you put in. I was looking these machines up for portability so was trying to find a review of the product. I'm a little confused about the "slack" you're dealing with. I understand the no constant pull part with the machine, but aren't you creating the "slack" problem by not starting from the center, and of course by not clamping after each pull? I saw your EasyStringer video and if you would've done it like that maybe this wouldn't be an issue? Also, I was hoping you'd turn it on around a bit but you kept it in the same position. Does it let you move it if you want to alternate between left and right side?
This is not a "proper way to string" or a "MiStringer review video" but a demonstration on how to take up the slack on a lock out machine. I purposely created as much slack as possible to start by not tensioning any of the strings. I would never recommend you to string like this. Because it is a lock out and EasyStringer is a manual constant tension pull I can not take up the slack the same way and that is why it is different for both machines and much harder to do on this one. Unfortunately no matter what you do it will never be as good as a constant tension pull so you can never take up as much slack as a constant tension pull. Of course the table rotates just like any other stringing machine allowing you to alternate between left and right side. Let me know if you still do not understand.
@@StuartLeehiqua I got it. I've watched other videos and then understood the points you are making in yours as well. Thanks a lot for responding. I ended up looking at others since I found this one overpriced for what it offers. It should be in the $159-$199 range at best.
The middle slack happens because as you pull-in tension from the center to either side, next one always pulling and deforming the racquet little more which causes previous string to have to pull less hance the looseness. But as you move on to horizontal stringing, tension from the side effect the center vertical strings the most to go back to original tension you put in to. Therefore, one should not adjust other previous worked on string tensions. I hope this makes sense.
Surely you would start tensioning from the middle outwards? I clicked on this to see what this machine was like as a portable machine. I have a crank stringing machine at home and it does not have central clamping system. This in a way does.

what machine are you interested in? I only have EasyStringer and Stringway in stock. I no longer sell MiStringer. For only shipping a 9kg package cost 27300 Yen for EMS or 8300 Yen for 4 month surface . Small internnational paymets are best made on Paypal so their exchange rates and service fees 4% +42 Yen apply. www.post.japanpost.jp/cgi-charge/result.php?lang=_ja

I fully agree! You should never string like this but this is not a stringing tutorial. I purposely set this to create as much slack as possible to show how well or bad this machine can pick up string slack. I hope you find the results useful.
You're kidding, right? You almost had me fooled like you knew what you were talking about. Good One! I like a good prank.

Think it will make a big difference if u apply oil to the string holes/fiction areas?

Am sorry. Is this a bad product?
Yes. I can not recommend this machine
You send to another countries or just Japan?
I can send international but shipping is not cheap.
@@StuartLeehiqua How much to Perú?

Why dont you string one string at a time?

first spray all the holes with WD40 then get a bolt-on industrial vibrator. As you set tension, turn on the vibrator. You're done.
Worst stringing "method" I've ever seen. You need to tension each strand individually and not try to do whatever you are trying to do.
