@@taronabetani9172 hi, I'm pleased you find the videos useful. On Dunlop rackets I always reverse the long and short side (I normally do anyway) which certainly helps.

Hi, with a stencil and ink which you can buy from stringing supply website, or given by the manufacturer. In the UK W&D are very good for stencils and ink, they have most in stock.

@@Pete-g2w hey, no squeak on turntable but it may be that it needs adjusting. If you look at the beam underneath the turntable there are 3 bolts in a triangle. Use your allen key to turn slightly to the left and it should help.

Ah ok, did not know you can adjust the bearing, will have a go. Smashsports did not mention it !! Thanks 👍

It's the one at the top (middle) that you should slightly turn

Ah do u mean on end of beam , not underneath were ring with 4 bolts is ?

@@Pete-g2w yes, at the end of the beam - not the bolts underneath

It's not so much the size but the weight that would be the issue. They are very heavy!

@@rodrigotoninidasilva6949 it really depends on the rackets. A standard set is around 9M but I normally string off the reel and use 5 arm spans (I have long arms, so you may want to use 5.5 arm spans just in case).

@@stringdoctor6238 I'm going to string the carbon flex 130 atw, do I use 9 metres?

@rodrigotoninidasilva6949 yes, that should be absolutely fine. Just make sure you measure the short side properly (8 head lengths)

I need to do some more when I have chance!

@stringdoctor6238 rackets or videos? 😁haha i enjoy watching and would lie if i didnt learn a thing. So i am gratefull that you put in the time and efforts! Keep them comming!!💪👍

@boordbelsj ha ha, always plenty of rackets!

Lots of ways to skin a cat/string a racket ;-)

@@RomanSpike-ll1jx I normally keep the main (long) and the cross (short) strings the same tension but some players like different tensions in the mains and crosses, including some of the pros I string for.

@stringdoctor6238 Thanks a lot, with the classic pattern I make long strings 11 kg and short 10. I will try to put the same tension in this pattern and I am curious about the difference. Do you add 1.5 kg more tension before tightening the last knot?

@ I don't always add more tension on the tie offs (with crosses) - it's good to have a slightly softer top cross to protect the strings on wall shots and the bottom cross in this racket is a lot shorter than the other crosses, so tension evens out. But the knots have to be done well.

@@stringdoctor6238 So if I understand correctly. You put less tension on the last upper and lower cross strings than on the entire string. That is, 11 kg on all strings and the last cross, will I put a tension of 10 kg?

@ I don't reduce tension, I just don't always add the extra tension for the last cross tie offs (in squash, not tennis where the extra tension absolutely needs to be applied). It helps, especially at the head to reduce the risk of breaking strings from mid hits and from hitting the ball off the wall.

@@davidsilos7241 yes, can definitely be done as one piece. However, head recommend two piece stringing and for this racket, with its hidden grommets, I would absolutely only do two piece. Otherwise you might get some pretty severe tension slip on the long side.

@@bbulla try the ATW pattern, it genuinely makes the racket play a lot better, but as you say, sure they didn't design it to be complicated - most likely the stringing tie offs etc were an after thought.

@@canadiantennispro if you measure 18 racket widths of string, that will comfortably cover the strings and tie offs for it 👍

@@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.

@@snorlaxsam8334 there are a few different ways to string it, this being one. As long as it plays ok and there's consistency when doing multiple rackets, that's the main thing... and obviously the strings stay in the slots! Guessing you'd need to enlarge 2 or 3 grommets to make this work?

@@naradneblett7719 hey there, thanks so much for the kind words. Yes I will certainly do more videos. Any rackets in particular you'd like to see?

@@stringdoctor6238 the technifibre xtop v1 & v2 maybe a few more dunlop rackets too

@@harv21 using a stencil and ink 👍

@@Rackets-sports both are great machines. I prefer the new TF machine for the extra functions, like electronic height adjust and also prefer having a diabolo on the tension head rather than the beak, but everybody has a different preference. I know very good stringers who use the head machines but also the TF machine is currently being used at major events too. The TF rails and clamps (especially) would probably edge it for me.

@@stringdoctor6238 thank you very much for your replay do you have any ideas about gamma machines model els 9900

@@ross7731 hi Ross, thanks for getting in touch and glad you like the channel. So a big part of the feel comes from the natural gut in the mains. If not wanting to spend too much money you can replace with a thinner gauge multifilament (ideally) or if trying to save even more money, a synthetic gut string like Prince Duraflex. But a full bed of poly won't give you the powerful but soft feel that a hybrid gut/poly will give you. If it's for a 95 frame, I would just reduce the tension a bit too as it's a smaller head. Hope that helps a little.

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

@@stevewilson8088 hi Steve, the pattern is different to the new radical, but exactly the same as the speed 135 SB I did a video on (exactly the same racket aside from weight/balance and colour).

@@stevewilson8088 thanks Steve, much appreciated.

@@gregtippings4542 no problem. Racketball designers like testing us!

@@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.

Great stuff Rob! Any questions, you know where I am ;-)

@@stringdoctor6238 Cheers Jon! Heidi's loving the new Technifibre string👍👍

@@TactileRacquetPerformance I think you can use without the stand. It has a flat base and some stoppers which weren't needed when putting together with the stand. I haven't tried this yet but will check it out!!! Re. V2's, they're great rackets. Glad you like them!

Excellent! Sounds like it might be. If so, it'll be a top contender for my next machine

@@yung1523 hi there, I will do a video the next time I get one in. I occasionally string Yow's rackets when he's back in the UK, so maybe next time I get his, I'll record it!

Hey there, just to let you know I've just uploaded a video of me doing the Revelation 135.

@@stringdoctor6238life saver 🫡

@@하늘소-e4b hi, the best tension range for this racket, I think, is 22lbs (power) to 27lbs (control). That is my choice but some people may like different tension. 24lbs is what I play with.

@@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.

Love it!

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.

@@antonyharkin2010 hey Antony, if you go directly to the Parnell Knot website, they ship to the UK.

@@antonyharkin2010 ps. Many thanks for the comments 😀

@@stringdoctor6238thanks!! I'm also looking to get some better fixed clamps, what would you recommend?

@@swbrim Hi Scott, as you say, there are trade off's but this is a method that's worked well for me and as long as good care and attention are given to the strings then it's fine doing it this way. One of the reasons for allowing the final 3 crosses to be done with the remaining short side string is to ensure as little tension slip on the last short side main as possible, which is more likely with only one cross being made after coming down the last short side main. But these are fairly minor points and funnily enough on the Dunlop revelation 125's with the slots on the bumpers/side strips, I do it the way you've mentioned, to ensure there are no strings left exposed outside the slots. Key thing is to just ensure the crosses are head to throat.

It depends how much stringing you do. Also worth noting that second hand machines hold their value pretty well, so there's always a decent chunk to put towards it from the sale of the old machine.

@@benlaw277 yeah, the trend is definitely lower now, with 24/25 being fairly common

@@heathdonnelly7501 thanks Heath. I'm certainly not a pro KZbinr but like to do what I can!

@@badmintontuneup good call out. Yes, will see what I can do.

@@dontmesswiththecricketfreak head Revolution. Colour really pops out!

@@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

@@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!

@@prim0pyr0 ha ha, yes indeed. Will see if he switches back again as there's a huge difference in how the two patterns play. Personally I think it could be good for him to have both options in his bag, with the fan pattern being good to use in hotter, bouncier courts for more control.

@@simondennis101 it's not cheap, but TF looked after me a little with it.

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

Correct. But never used to actually pull the knot!
