can you detail how you set tension, on what side of the rod you set it , in my case it's not clear, could be left or right from that big weight drum.

I use all these methods, it depends on what kind of string and what tension you do. The key is to make sure the first pull won't slip and won't too tight because you don't have a very good oppturnity to adjust the first clip you use. Other wise they almost same. Except the last one. the last one use only one clip to start, very easy to distory you most import section of string by too loose or too tight.

Always keep some long spare string or cut some old string long enough with your machine so that you don't need to cut from a reel.

How about thinner gauge poly + lower tension instead of hybrid poly/multi?

In Europe, a 200meter real of Signum Pro X-Perience costs around 70$ where a Hyper-G costs 110$. So, there is a noticable price difference between the two strings!

Camera angle is bad, your arm gets in the way.

I was considering buying this machine til I saw how you have to use the dropweight with all those clicks... YIKES. Klippermate is quicker than that

This video is perfect for me. Just got a neos 1000 and this answered several questions.

I always use the first one because I always string at 86lbs and thats the safest method. Nice vid

Fantastic video, thank you Brian! My son just started playing HS, and coming from a very long break myself, we jumped onto the green string seen everywhere. I played with gut when I was younger so the difference in feeling (or lack of) was quite the surprise. We've since ditched full poly, and have been trying different multifilaments as well as poly/multi combinations. The 4G/NXT combo you show is one I personally like alot, 4G Rough on the mains with NXT Control on the crosses. I completely agree with you on how it plays. What I'm curious now is the growing number of thin poly strings(18~20g) that are becoming more available. Would these be suitable for a 14yo? My son has yet to experience any tennis elbow, so I would hate to introduce something that might cause it.

13 Minuten so wie er stoppt…. ist doch nur ein 16x19er Schläger…. Aber nicht die Schnelligkeit ist endscheidend sondern die Qualität

😂😂😂😂

Great info. I was swimming around not knowing what to do, and you convinced me to try a hybrid setup. I use a Yonex Vcore 7th gen racquet, do you have any specific recommendations.

In the end.... theres no more stress or pull force to the start knot than the finishing not. proof me wrong

you need to lock out 2 times per grommet hole or you loose 10 % tension, as its not a constant pull like a drop weight or electronic pull.

So, for tension maintenance, is a good choice? I usually don’t break so much strings…

Thanks for the information, I think that a first step for Juniors into polys is with the syn-gut in the mains and poly in the cross. That would introduce the player into the world of polys without injuries, after he brakes those strings fast, then go to poly main crossed with a Syn-gut.

Thanks for the video coach. What's is the recommended tension combo for a hybrid setup? I just bought Solinco Tour Bite 1.20 & NRG2 1.32... I'm planning to have them on my Pure Aero 98 as TB on mains while NRG2 on crosses. Note: I usually play with full bed poly at 48 LB.

Best string but because I hit flat and hard, it lasts about 12 hours of play. Then it sucks. But those first hours it beats everything hands down

Hold the end of the string! Stop dropping it and save a ton of time! Yikes

Very informative video. Thanks.

Very good information. So far my experience stringing and playing. Using Wilson NXT Control (16G) on mains at 60 pounds and Golden Set poly (18G) on crosses at 55 pounds. It was easy to cut the string after a few games. Now if you swap the strings, poly on mains, and gut on crosses, then it is much more durable. Definitely I will not recommend Wilson NXT because the price and durability in a Hybrid configuration, and trying now with alternatives like Head Velocity MLT (16G).

Are you telling me that we are in the 21st century and there is no machine invented to do this?

thanks helped me to string my first racket ever - I used the "Gamma Progression 602 FC Pro" that I just bought. It took me almost 3h :D Also, I have a 18x20 pattern so I had to redo the mains because strings were too short haha Thanks anyway very helpfull

I hated this Prince stringer Neos. It was constantly getting out of alignment about every 3 racquets. And it was damned near impossible to string 110 or 115 racquets on it.

I looked up this technique while stringing the exact same racquet

Bite is about the same as solinco confidential, and lynx tour has better snap back

Nice informative well made video Brian!

I know it's an old video, but anyone run into the problem when doing the crosses the levers that locks the base of the clamps run into each other. This happens when you’re about 2/3 of the way thru with the crosses. It's when you can no longer swivel the base of the clamps away from each other, because the lever starts hitting the vertical column at each end that connects the base of the machine to the top mounts. Unless I’m doing something wrong, it makes you wonder why couldn’t they make the lever shorter.

Great video. Do you have any tip to use 10% plus weight during the knot? I mean, was wondering to add a specific weight to help during the knot movement

Alu and triax or alu and MLT

Ps. Id concentrate on drills and your footwork rather than noodling with strings.

That Aero will eat through strings with that big open pattern.

It's quite evident that you do not have much experience with drop weights or at least for a very long time. You are struggling and should not be doing a drop weight tutorial. Please leave this to those who are much more familiar with this type of stringer.

You're actually losing about 3 minutes because you let the end of the string drop to the floor so you keep having to re-find it every time you tension. Keep it in your hand or put it in the next hole of the racquet so it's readily available and you will make the 15 minute mark no problem.

Thanks for the nice video, greatly appreciate the effort! Although I have a different drop weight machine, this video really gave me the much better understanding of how should the tension be achieved with the drop weight

Great video! Where can you buy a Babolat clamp? They seem hard to come by for sale in the U.S. right now.

I can see the weight creeping below horizontal. Would you normally allow it to stretch out and then adjust the drop weight again until horizontal?

If someone is constantly breaking the string, does it make sense to put a 15 poly on the main and a 16 syn gut on the cross and maybe also lower the tension of the cross by 1lb to extend the life? If not what's your recommendation?

Hi Brian, great video, this is just what I'm looking for. Just quick question, I use old school crank stringing machine, do I need to set a few lbs higher in order to get more precise tension? For example, if my goal tension is 52/50, do I need to set, say, 54/52 in the machine? Does that make any sense? Many thanks!

the clip bented, thats one part of lose of tension and the swinging of the frame so keep it locked up and steady retensioning with cause string wareout so its not gonna hold the prefered tension and it will cause too stretch more

What tensions recommendations would you put on a poly main with natural gut cross? Would you put different tensions on main vs cross? And also I have a little elbow issue . Thanks?

My go to for white strings. Thxs for sharing your experience and opinion, very much appreciate it!

how many feet on the short side?

Awesome, thank you. Been playing with Babolat Synthetic Gut, can completely relate 💯

Thank you for a great video.

You do realize that you are excellent at this

Thanks for this video! I've been using a simple drop-weight machine for years and decided to upgrade to the Prince Neos 1000. I just strung my first racquet with it and have one question: should the clamps always be at an angle or do they ever need to go to 90 degrees when clamping the string?

I'm wondering when it comes to bridging on whether or not it makes a difference to use the exact same string used in the bridge as the string being pulled due to the fact that the elasticity of both strings match. What happens if you are stringing gut and then bridge with a poly? The poly isn't nearly as elastic as the gut and wouldn't the bridge apply a different tension on the gut as a result?

How about it's soft version
