Video

Decent video, but one of the entire points to stress is which end of the drop weight to align with the tension mark. You skipped it completely.

thanks guys

4:04 you put tension without the gripper being parallel to the ground

Good video. I have the same machine. I purchased a starting clamp and upgraded the clamps to string way 2 and 3 string clamps. I normally double clamp when I switch from side to side on the mains. I've measured the string tension after stringing and it's remarkably accurate.

Bro you were going TOO FAST. If you're an absolute begging u need to explain the first clamp & tension waaaay slower. U just breezed past what's simple for you... assuming a newbie would automatically know that stuff...lol

Great job

At 4 mns and 13-14 sec, you made a mistake by removing the clamp before pulling. You always need to pull first, then , clamp.

You should never release a clamp before tensioning it with the weight. In the video, you released one clamp once before using the weight (4:12). That caused your strings to rebalance, and the weight you put on later needs to balance all the frictions between the string and the grommets, which means you've lost a significant amount of tension... That's also the reason why you don't put all the strings in place first and just tension the 2 ends of the string (if it works it will save a lot of time since you don't need to tension every section of the string). But you were effectively doing that.

great video very helpfull, plz can you tell me how much weight that cylindre weight in kilogramme ?

at 4:11 you took the clamp out and lost tension on all the strings and when you pulled it again was not the correct tension.. this is not right for sure

Hey man what you use to do the scoreboard?

Great vid👍🏻 I have this exact stringer for over a year. Those expensive stringers are great but this one works just fine.

There are a few benefits for weaving one ahead. You weave a cross and then tension the previous cross. You were doing what we call hard weaves.

YIKES! That racquet is not securely placed on the flat base of the posts. The spacers go on the inside not underneath the frame to the stringer enough. Also, never pull tension with eh string over the frame. You are not knowledgeable on racquet stringing. please take this tutorial down before someone actually follows it.

Just ordered an X-2.. Looks like a good starter set up

so painful to watch... red shirt..

It's called a "drop weight" stringer..... you're supposed to hold the bar at a 45° angle and let it drop - not lower it down with your hand. The string needs the 'drop' to stretch the string.....That's per the manufacturer's of the stringing machines....

Both sides would greatly benefit from a "building from the ground up" approach. Start by hitting safer shots with as much pressure as you can without being careless. Five games in and there were literally only a few real points that happened. The rest were either double faults, balls in the net or out on return of serve, or someone hitting the ball right at the net person. In doubles low and cross court is your friend.

I'm tempted to buy this stringer. Ffor 250 bucks thats a good entrance into the craft. How has the stringer been holding up? Do you have to do any maintenance?

Shouldn’t you have started stringing from the throat to the head for your first two strings? The Babolat stringing guide shows that as the stringing pattern for this racquet.

Just ordered a gamma xstringer myself. Just a tip, in the crossess you can weave the cross 1 string in advance, and tensioning the previous cross. It makes weaving easier

try 2 back formation

at 3:37 you tension your string over the frame. I have seen many videos recommending not to do this. what are your thoughts? Btw, I have the same reel and same stringer.

I see that you don't make the part that you wind the strong over parallel to the ground before wrapping the string over. Does that not create any problems?

Would love to see some matchplay, maybe california doubles as well

Hi DTL ;-) your serve is already ready for the next level 👍 if you look for an easy way to add a scoreboard on your match without past/copy or complex editing process you can check my channel (video scoreboard for dummies). Video helped me a lot to improve. +1 subscriber 😉

Don't know NTRP but probably URT 5, what do you think ? Also if you want to add a scoreboard (scoreboard for dummies) see my channel it could save you time ! +you have one more subscriber 😉 editing : grammar

Subbed. Looking forward to seeing you progress, I am on a path with a similar goal!

Definitely a 3.0. Keep it up!
