<p>Also reading great things about stringway machines. ML100 is $767 with flying clamps or $962 with fixed. Very cool machines but this stringing thing is getting more and more expensive. Paying for itself will be a while for my measly twice a month.</p>

<p>There is no problem in 2 piece stringing. on a klippermate. Im telling you from 10 years experience stringing on a klippermate. its the best affordable portable stringer. its perfect for beginners and when you get good stringing your own stuff it will take about 30min per racquet. and those clamps I posted I have been using since 1996. I haven cleaned them and they hold perfect tension with out nicking the string or crushing it. I dont pre-stretch any string Most are already…</p>

<p>Remember there is a Learning Curve with stringing on different racquet, but if you really looking to just take care of yourself you will be just fine. if you are stringing 5 ten racquets a day then you will need an upgrade to a pull crank ( prince eos ) or a electric ( Gamma x-es.) but if you are stringing 3 racquets every 3 to 4 weeks klippermate is fine.</p>

<div class="message" style="float: left; width: 99%; overflow: auto;">I prefer a manual prestretch even though my machine offers a prestretch function.<br/><br/>At one end of the shop a doorknob resides. I tie one end to the doorknob, uncoil the string (inspecting for imperfections along the way), and put either a starting or flying clamp on the other end. I then lean into it (facing away in case something snaps or lets go) for 20 seconds. I release for 5 seconds and then give it 10 more seconds of stretch. <br/><br/>Whatever method you choose, consistency is the most important element. As a matter of routine, I prestretch all synthetics except for the LaserFibre laser treated strings and I NEVER prestretch poly based string products.</div>

<p>I wouldn't stretch natural gut as it already has pretty good tension retention. I was thinking of my ALU Rough which are my crosses. They loose tension fairly quick and thought prestretching would help.</p>

<p>You can tension each row twice. Or hang a weight to one end of the string and the other end from a height. I prefer to do the first.</p>
<p>Also, do not prestretch polys, only multis and guts. Synthetic gut I wouldn't prestretch either, since the broken chemical bonds are what gives it the characteristic feel.</p>

<p>The Alpha Pioneer DC Plus has a linear gripper, unlike the Gamma with its cam roller or the Klippermate with its non ratcheting black wheel. Takes far less extra string length per pull and you will have to surely only buy 2 packs of 40 ft string.</p>
<p>Alpha is built with heavy grade steel. Plus, their customer service is second to none.</p>
