Hello Racket Doctor!! İ jest received mine!! It’s awesome, I am excited!! I have a question. Does it come with a machine cover because I see you have one beside the tools!! Thank you in advance
Lovely looking machine, well designed. Huge tool tray which is so helpful. Smooth as butter clamps and rails. Will definitely consider one in due course. Be good to have another mini review once you’ve put a few rackets on it.
Just got mine and its a huge improvement on my old machine. The racket supports do seem difficult to remove and rotate for badminton, will be interesting to see how they wear in. When i did my first few badminton rackets i noticed the supports do not hit the frame squarely, so it puts sideways pressure on them, something to keep an eye on !!. Overall a very impressive machine.
Nice Jon! Congrats on the machine. I was floating around the idea of getting the Ergo Pro couple years ago, but then went with the Baiardo at the time - this one looks to have smoothed out the kinks of the other one in lots of little areas. Looks good 👍
@@level27xrock it's a really good machine. I've strung quite a few rackets on it now, having spend the last 3.5 years on my Baiardo L. Took a little bit of getting used to but flying now. Rails and clamps excellent and puller very smooth!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. I know you experienced my problem on the Baiardo with doing Racketball rackets and the posts and billiards not always being able to fully mount and touch the frame at the very top or the very bottom since the Baiardo towers are not adjustable, is this no longer a problem on this machine? It is why I switched to the current Head machine, I've been meaning to make a video on it too
@@level27xrock plenty of reach on this machine. One of the longest heads in racketball is the head radical (they do a few other similar wave pattern rackets with hidden grommets too), and this one easily mounted with room to spare.
@@RitchES where are you based? If in UK you can buy through Smash Sports (UK Tecnifibre distributor). Feel free to mention me. Or if elsewhere in the world, send a message through the main TF website and they should be able to help.
Not on this machine. Most of the latest top end machines don't have curved rails. Babolat machines obviously do but the top of the range Yonex, Wilson and Tecnifibre machines don't.
Got mine yesterday too, how did you find taking the supports off for Badminton? It took a huge amount of strength to get them off and even now its not fully inserted flush with the supports
@@A.Tim3 funny you should mention that as I did a couple of badminton rackets last night on mine and, yes, the plastic adapters are tight to remove and flip over. I have a feeling that this will get easier once they're used more though. Little tip, I used the thin end of a spoon handle to gently prize it open a bit then it made it much easier to remove.
@@stringdoctor6238 did you manage to get the supports to be flush with the arm because right now I have slight gaps between the arm and the supports, I thought of sanding down the tips that join so it goes in more easily so it’s not so tight to make it flush but right now there is a gap
@@stringdoctor6238did you manage to get the support flush with the arm because I’m putting a lot of force into it and there’s still a slight gap between the arm and support I’m considering sanding down the tips that connect to make a smoother fit and hopefully make it more flush
If this is the same price as the Yonex Precision 5 Ill be gutted. This is why stringing organisations need to do actual reviews and rank the machines. I have so many irritating issues witht eh Yonex. And for £5k it should be perfect.
@@nellynelson965 this machine will be roughly the same cost I believe. I'll record some videos of stringing rackets on the new TF machine, so you can see what it looks like in real life!
I was wondering if you have a contact from TF for the purchase of this machine as I have reached out on the TF web site for opportunities to purchase this machine here in the United States and have as of yet not received a response to messages on their web site. I was just wondering if perhaps if you know of someone I can reach out to directly or a phone number to call. Thanks

@@merylambrou2751 hi there, yes I got mine with a machine cover. Hopefully you should be able to get one from where you bought your machine.

@@kgwilliams6808 will record a stringing session on it soon!

Hey Pete, glad you like the machine. And re. Supports, these ease up after a few switch arounds. Much easier now thankfully.

Love it!
looks great,
It would be interesting if you did a comparison video with your Baiardo... This Looks very impressive from the video
@@badmintontuneup good call out. Yes, will see what I can do.
Where can I buy this machine? Thanks.

The knot setting… is that to pull the last string before the knot a little tighter to compensate for tension loss from the knot?
Correct. But never used to actually pull the knot!

That looks expensive Jon!
@@simondennis101 it's not cheap, but TF looked after me a little with it.
