@@saitenkiller So you think it´s definitely better than the wise tensionhead in comparison ? with the new motor, you get the glide to activate which is a nice to have I think but the main question is, do you really need it. newer motor is like 200€ + I´m now looking for a new machine and I think this one in the LE version is the best you can get now in terms of function/price/quality.
@@tommyshoe-star1426 Looking at performance only, yes, it is better than the WISE. But still, the WISE does deliver equally consistent results and has proven to be incredibly robust and reliable long term. The glide-to-activate gripper imo is a very nice feature and I wouldn't want to miss it anymore. If you count that in, bot tension heads are almost equal in price. Personally, if I was going to decide for a StringMaster LE, I'd go with the new tension head. But again, the WISE still is a dead solid piece of gear and won't be a clearly wrong choice too.
Hi Smair. Since BC forums is down I was wondering if you had a mounting video for the stringmaster deluxe. Couldn't access the thread where there was discussion
So you mean a video that shows how the machine is assembled? Nope, I don’t have that as a video. But tbh it’s pretty straight forward and it’s obvious how the parts should fit together.
@saitenkiller sorry I meant how to mount a racket on the deluxe. The instructions said to keep the towers unlocked. Do the 12 and 6 o'clock supports first then the side supports next. Then lock the towers. I'm wondering why that's the case and not confident if my side supports are connecting with the racket too close to the center.
@@95thRiflesOCI Here’s a video I did a while back to show my racket mounting process: ruclips.net/video/1LEFcu3nwrE/видео.htmlsi=FvWDAj3rRefZ5xGU Never, ever leave the main tower unlocked! The racket should be held firmly in all six support points.
Thanks this was the video I remmeber seeing. So when I first was trying to mount one of the side supports wouldn't make contact with the racket. It was atleast 1cm away with the other ones all firm. The only way I got it to all touch was when I turned one of the towers to the right then it all touched. But from your comment did you meant to move my towers in the correct spot then lock and then move the supports?
Ah as simple as that:D do fou find any instability issues with SE version and the motor that reaches over the base plate, with the wise or the new one?@@saitenkiller
@@saitenkiller ok nice, thx for the fast response. The look wouldn’t be a problem for me. I’m still thinking if I should by Stringmaster either as a drop weight or with a motor. Did you also test it with the drop weight or only with the motor?
Nice job! What do you think about this tension head in comparison of Wise 2086?
It’s a very good alternative. It pulls faster and smoother. But it’s more expensive and not as easy to mount on existing machines as the WISE.

Where do you buy this tensioner
How is the new motor mounted on the short base plate? Is there an adapter?
You don't need an adapter, just two holes drilled in the right places and you can mount it directly.

@@simjoun3299 No, not at all. It all feels very sturdy. The only downside is the slightly weird look imo.

Is this tension head manufactured by Wise?
No, definitely not.
