For the crosses, he is using the Yonnex starting method. He has demo this method before. I find it very useful compared to a starting knot. I use it all the time
Anything with a drop weight is great as its always on point!!! Just look for quality clamps and a 6pt mounting system preferably. I would recommend spring assisted clamp bases as they hold better and are way easier to operate. The heart of the machine is the clamping and 6pt mounting system, those two are on point you are golden.
Speed is important when stringing Polys... Slower makes the string safer to achieve its desired tension... Too fast might "hurt" the string structure internally, it it is a harder one.. Nice videos. 👌🏻

Good to see a review on this ergo one, not any reviews on UA-cam. Hard to find. I also bought one 4 months ago and love it. Haven’t been through the manual much. Do you think there’s a way to find out how many pulls has been made?
@@romainclerc5946 No, I did not hear of anything.

I think that was a two half hitch knot...

Hi there, I have a question regarding hybrid string tension. I usually use poly in the mains and synth gut in the crosses. I look for more control and spin while don't mind actively deliver power on to the ball myself. Shall I string my synth gut cross with a higher tension than the poly mains? I feel this is not a common practice and I use Yonex racquets which I heard are recommended to have the crosses on 2lb lower than the mains due to the isometric head shape? Can you make a video about string tension (different tension on mains and crosses)? Thank you!
I have the same dilemma! I have come to the conclusion to string poly 5lbs less than multifill and syngut on the same reference tension. So my mains are 52lbs poly and crosses are 57lbs multifill.
I think it matters what the mounting system is on the machine. This kind of six-point mount does well with high tension on the mains - the head is not going to collapse outward - however too much tension on the crosses, and the whole mount setup can go to sh*t as the frame deforms. That is the just how the machines are made. The tension on the mains is actually the main thing keeping the racquet from elongating as you string the crosses. That is why if you try to cut out your crosses you will see the racquet shrink and your mains will lose tension.
The thing TF racquets have going for them IMHO is that they are relatively clean platform racquets. You pick a base weight, head size and stiffness (t.flash vs. t.fight) and then you get to balance it out how you want. Most come set up head light with the assumption -- at least my assumption -- that you will add weight where you want it to suit your own needs. If you don't string, or don't have a knowledgeable stringer who can translate your qualitative requests into quantitative tuning points, then you might not be very happy, especially if you like a high swing weight off the shelf. That's just my 2c.
@@kingnike12 no not really.what is important that there is no movement between the tensioning head and the turntable. Wilson baiardo for example tilts (uneven surface) but the relation between the tensioner and turntable don't change so its all good
Hey I had a tennis stringer question: I’m using a killer mate to string my racquet and when I get to the last main & cross string I lose so much tension. I even went up 10lbs to account for it but it seems like it does nothing. I use the same knot as you do, is there something else I’m doing wrong?
First, the check your machine for calibration. Check your clamp and make sure it not slipping on you. Check your knot. I use the Wilson pro knot. Works great for me.
@@HongNguyen-my5oq Klippermate should never need to be calibrated... it's a basic swing arm. It's normal to lose tension on the last cross. It should not affect the rest of the string bed - the friction in the grommet turn-arounds are what protects the sweet spot from being affected. You can use the Wilso Pro-knot / PC knot / Parnel knot all of which all allow for pulling tension on the knot better than you can with a 2-half-hitch... but do so sparingly or you will break your string.
The construction rock solid. I prefer the Wilson but it is NOT transportable .... The Babolat Star 4 for stringing and transportability and it is well built.
@@Multisportamateur It's call product promotion. He gave TF a great review on the Triax and probably they saw a huge uptick in sales. So they sent him the machine. Maybe it will end up as a promotional giveaway - LOL.
gdeangelkick ohhh right, mr smartie pants. Based on my experience in the industry, a tennis company would never give away a tennis machine unless you’ve got some serious star power. Tennis spin is getting there but yea...tennis strings seems to be all technifre will do. Hell...they are not even as big as Wilson! Haha.
@@Multisportamateur Profit margin on strings vs bread-and-butter racquets. Also, it's a different kind of star power. Tennis spin is absolutely on fire when it comes to not players, but aspiring shop owners / stringing pros, etc. Those are the guys who are out there looking at stringing machines like this. And you must not really follow TF very closely because they have one of the most non-existent marketing departments handling the USA. So I guess they could hire some qualified marketing people for, oh, I don't know, six figures... or they could call a Hail Mary and give away a machine for some viral social media marketing. The point is I don't think TS is going to be stringing many racquets on this machine, period. Whether he gives it away or has to send it back to TF after the review.
Let me set the record straight - Tecnifibre did something really stupid for stringers with these racquets: the "fat" EZ Lock grommets are a disaster. First, by forcing you to tie-off at 5H on a skip 7, skip 9, start a throat racquet, you cannot box pattern it, ergo, you cannot avoid all the covered holes. Notice the cut in the video at around 18:00? That where he hit the first covered hole... I have spent crazy amount of time with a soft 16 guage string unable to get it through with the piers, especially if the cross ends "under". It's not an issue with a stiff string, but you are in for problems with gut / soft multi if you don't plan ahead and leave a stub in those covered holds. And the EZ Lock tie off grommets... they are a mess too. First, they are not the easiest thing to get out if you have to do a repair or customization under the grommet strip. Second, because they are abutted together out of two pieces, you can have issues with your string running up into the gap and/or getting stagged. They are NOT wider on the inside, only on the outside to provide a better seat and prevent split grommets from poorly seated tie-off knots. I wanted to love these grommets, but frankly I hate them. Last but not least... pardon my French, but WTF is the benefit of having a "cross tension" button if you aren't going to use a pattern like a box or a ATW? Seriously. And most of the TF racquets do not get a manufacturer's spec for one-piece stringing -- many if not most are all supposed to be 2-piece strung. If I am two piece stringing, I never have to switch back and forth from mains to crosses, so it's trivial to set a cross tension once and that's that.
Sir, thank you for your comment. I have been stringing on a manual crank for about 8 years now and always wondered the real reason for crosses button on a electronic machine and you answered it perfectly - is used in atw or box patterns. Thank you. Otherwise i always thought its stupid on a 2 piece spice its not that big of a deal if you had to switch tension once when you transition. Thank you
Tennis Spin...you normally do a -3 pounds difference between the mains and crosses? I’m tinkering with tensions and am curious about main/cross tension difference. Right now, I do same tension both ways.
My coach uses a eagnas flex 940 I think. He taught me how to string on it and it seems to work pretty good, I’m looking for a good used machine which I would recommend you do too
I have an eagnas and it's awesome. Got it used for about $150. Real sturdy, nice machine for me. Mine has the crank, so no electronics to go bad. Easy to make a couple hundred bucks a month too.
I will chime in with my eagnas flex 940 too. Great machine!!! I eventually ended up replacing the stock cone lock clamp bases with spring assisted ones from a different (more expensive model) since the tracks are identical and compatible. Best investment (stringing wise) i have ever made. Next in line is the wise tensioner upgrade, but im not in a rush. My other experience is the club's neos 1000, and a gamma progression crank, gamma 6800 electronic. Compared my flex 940 is absolutely on par and super solid. I hear people complain about eagnas but i dont get it, i love my flex 940. The only downside is gets a little cramped to weave crosses towards the end since the clamps are in the way but its not the end of the world, maybe slws me down on average 5 mins, so i complete the racquets in less than 30 mins as opposed of 20+ mins the pros do at tournament shops, wow i can live with it! Super strong and solid machine and works perfectly, calibrated only once amd check it every month still pulls tension accurately. Bought mine fot $120 used spent extra $150 for clamps. So all in all great investment. Nowadays they cost $600, which is what 20 stringjobs will cost you. If you string for your friends on the side you can pay it off even sooner!!!! I would recommend one to anyone just exchange the clamps for the spring assisted one
$6000 stringer. Only people that should buy this are those that are stringing 50+ racquets a month as a business or a multi millionaire hack with money to burn.
I have this one , and this is the best machine you can buy for less than 1500 euro www.tennisman.de/Weiteres/Besaitungsmaschinen/TennisMan-StringMaster/Besaitungsmaschine-TennisMan-StringMaster-Deluxe-LE-Elektronik.html
Cool machine. But jeez...it looks like you WAY over tightened the mounting arms. You only want to tighten it just until the racquet doesn’t move. You tightened it like crazy before you ever checked for wiggle.
I agree with you 100%. However, the ergo one is designed with mobility in mind and for the stringer on the road. If you watch other videos about the ergo one they specifically showcase how ready it is to assemble disassemble and transport. If you travel a lot makes sense otherwise Wilson all the way!
Far too expensive. I had an Ektelon model H for 30 years and strung probably a thousand rackets at least and other than new clamps it was all original parts when I sold it. I now have a Prince Neos 1000 which is basically the same machine and costs about £1300 in England. Not electric but I don't like them anyway and also two point mounting system as I don't like 6 point.
@@DanTuber no kidding watson. I know that. What I'm saying is you are supposed to release the clamp base first whether its automatic or not, and then release the clamp so as not to damage the string acording to most recent research, especially when you doing natural gut!!! I love the idea of auto clamps but they are more likely to damage string if you release then right away to drop on base to unclamp base. He even mentions it during the syringing proces that you should release base first!!!
For the crosses, he is using the Yonnex starting method. He has demo this method before. I find it very useful compared to a starting knot. I use it all the time
Only diff is i tie the first cross off after the 3rd string, just so i don’t have the stupid clamp in the way.
This is good asmr the sounds and the way the machine pulls the string
I was thinking the same untol I read your comment.
Thank you for this review. Could you please one time give recommendations on the lower-end gravity or pulley machines between $250 and $500.
Anything with a drop weight is great as its always on point!!! Just look for quality clamps and a 6pt mounting system preferably. I would recommend spring assisted clamp bases as they hold better and are way easier to operate.

I have an eagnas and it's awesome. Got it used for about $150. Real sturdy, nice machine for me. Mine has the crank, so no electronics to go bad. Easy to make a couple hundred bucks a month too.
@@WillBaileyHoldfastNetworks that's about 4 x as much as I paid for the stringer😅😅
I will chime in with my eagnas flex 940 too. Great machine!!! I eventually ended up replacing the stock cone lock clamp bases with spring assisted ones from a different (more expensive model) since the tracks are identical and compatible. Best investment (stringing wise) i have ever made. Next in line is the wise tensioner upgrade, but im not in a rush.
My other experience is the club's neos 1000, and a gamma progression crank, gamma 6800 electronic. Compared my flex 940 is absolutely on par and super solid. I hear people complain about eagnas but i dont get it, i love my flex 940. The only downside is gets a little cramped to weave crosses towards the end since the clamps are in the way but its not the end of the world, maybe slws me down on average 5 mins, so i complete the racquets in less than 30 mins as opposed of 20+ mins the pros do at tournament shops, wow i can live with it!
Super strong and solid machine and works perfectly, calibrated only once amd check it every month still pulls tension accurately. Bought mine fot $120 used spent extra $150 for clamps. So all in all great investment. Nowadays they cost $600, which is what 20 stringjobs will cost you. If you string for your friends on the side you can pay it off even sooner!!!!
I would recommend one to anyone just exchange the clamps for the spring assisted one
When your clamp slips back a 32nd of an inch I loose 5 lb on the crosses.
$6000 stringer. Only people that should buy this are those that are stringing 50+ racquets a month as a business or a multi millionaire hack with money to burn.
I have this one , and this is the best machine you can buy for less than 1500 euro www.tennisman.de/Weiteres/Besaitungsmaschinen/TennisMan-StringMaster/Besaitungsmaschine-TennisMan-StringMaster-Deluxe-LE-Elektronik.html
$200 drop weight machine is good enough for the self stringer!
What does that thing cost?
I wanna say 6k American from what I've been able to find.
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Haha, get a wilson baraido instead if you don't need a portable stringer. It should be around 5K. Mine has lasted me over 8 years
At 6K, Baiardo all the way.
$6,000 Trump bucks! Will that be cash or credit?
Cool machine. But jeez...it looks like you WAY over tightened the mounting arms. You only want to tighten it just until the racquet doesn’t move. You tightened it like crazy before you ever checked for wiggle.
I've been stringing for over 30 years, I know what I am doing, thanks
@@TennisSpin Lol actually u don’t. Over tightening would stretch and deform the frame. For 30 years and does not know how to match swingweight lmao.
Please share contact of technifibre contact
For $6000 I would rather have a baiardo or a baiardo lite and keep the extra money
I agree with you 100%. However, the ergo one is designed with mobility in mind and for the stringer on the road. If you watch other videos about the ergo one they specifically showcase how ready it is to assemble disassemble and transport. If you travel a lot makes sense otherwise Wilson all the way!
Technifibre - most over priced vendor in tennis industry.
Far too expensive.
I had an Ektelon model H for 30 years and strung probably a thousand rackets at least and other than new clamps it was all original parts when I sold it.
I now have a Prince Neos 1000 which is basically the same machine and costs about £1300 in England.
Not electric but I don't like them anyway and also two point mounting system as I don't like 6 point.
I know I just googled it and it 3k plus😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣
Technifiber if you read this could you please send me this machine to demo and review?
Looks like 7.7 scale earthquake going on. Very unstable machine.
$6000 better be good!!
Clamps are not automatic. That's a negative.
Well, you are suppressed to release the clamp base first then the clamp itself according to latest research. So is not all that bad after all...
@@Sokeresa Auto clamps release the string clamp when the base clamp is released. The clamps in this video are manual.
@@DanTuber no kidding watson. I know that. What I'm saying is you are supposed to release the clamp base first whether its automatic or not, and then release the clamp so as not to damage the string acording to most recent research, especially when you doing natural gut!!! I love the idea of auto clamps but they are more likely to damage string if you release then right away to drop on base to unclamp base. He even mentions it during the syringing proces that you should release base first!!!
