Awesome, congrats on your new machine. And I’m glad you like it. I would love to see the small upgrades they made to it since the first gen - like the new side supports. Anyways, I hope you’ll have a lot of fun with it!
hi, first of all, very detailed and nice video's about the stringmaster deluxe. I am. in the market for a stringing machine and have been looking at the stringmaster machines. I'm stuck between the pro 50 (which i would order automatic clamps with =+-770€ total) or the Itennis pro 1 or 2. Is the deluxe really worth it spending the extra money on it? Handy to know: 1) I plan on only doing badmintonrackets for myself and my club (not that much needed). 2) I don't have a lot of space to store it (live in small appartment).So for instance the pro50 looks a bit large... could you maybe give some dimensions of the deluxe or give a size compairison? 3) it's my first machine i will buy, so kind of hesitant... thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi Jan, there are a number of valid points you've raised here. The Pro 50 looks like a dead solid machine and should be slightly lighter than the Deluxe. So if you have to move the machine back and forth a lot, this definitely will be an issue with the Deluxe since it weighs a ton. Dimensions should roughly be the same for both. I also wouldnt' go for replacing the clamp bases of the Pro 50 right away, but first of all start with the stock ones and see how good they are. Good manual bases can do the job just as fine, you only have to get used to it. The new iTennis machines will not be available for another couple of months. They are still in prototype phase only so it's just not possible to make any kind of comparison here. Another thought: Have you looked at the StringMaster 3700? If size and weight really do matter, then going for a badminton-only machine could be an interesting option.
@@saitenkiller Thanks for the torough answer. I tried raising my question on BC, but my account is awaiting confirmation. I treid resending the confirmation mail, but nothing happened (7days ago now). Good to hear that you advise on using the pro 50 with the provided clamps first, makes complete sense looking at it now since it will be the first time for me and workflow will be certainly in development. I looked at the stringmaster 3700 and i'm very interested in it, but it's not in stock... and Dirk from Tennisman seems to be busy since he didn't reply yet. But if the 3700 would be available, i would've already bought it. :)
@@jansnoeck8157 There seems to be an issue with the sign-up process on BadmintonCentral recently, hope the mods will resolve this quickly. That would be the perfect place to discuss this more in detail. Dirk is always very busy - don't be shy to hit him with repeated reminders. I'm suprised that there hasn't been any new stock arriving for the 3700.
@@saitenkiller Yeah, i hope so too, because i want to take part in the discussions since there is so much to learn from guys like you. I will send Dirk a reminder and ask for the 3700. because that would be the ideal machine for me i think. (altough it could be a little cramped in space underneath te racket head, so still a bit doubtful)
@@jansnoeck8157 Every good thing comes with its downsides. But I think the smaller turntable is just a matter of getting used to. The smaller footprint and less weight imo are more important factors to consider. Hope we can talk soon on BadmintonCentral then. :)
Hi, I found this great video from BC. I am thinking of getting this awesome machine w/ wise. May I ask you a few questions: 1 - does this machine come with any warranty? 2 - how long have you been using the wise tensioner? Is it robust? do you have good experience with it? I sometimes have bad luck with electronics (they die soon after the warranty expires) and it's my biggest concern getting an electric tensioner. 3 - Does the machine comes with both the 5 teeth universal clamps and the 4 teeth badminton clamps? Tennisman website doesn't allow the customers to select the clamp type unlike some of the Superstringer models. 4 - Do you find the 5 teeth universal clamps too bulky/clumsy for badminton rackets? Or it is perfectly fine? Thank You
Hi Alex! 1 - In Germany, you have a standard 1 year warranty but tbh I have no idea how it works when it's shipped to other countries. Best to write an e-mail to Tennisman and ask them directly 2 - I've been using the WISE since 2016 and so far without any issues whatsoever. The WISE generally is known to be pretty robust, there are forum members on BadmintonCentral who have used it for many hundreds of jobs and even to string on big tournaments like the All Englands. So I think it's safe to say that this is a solid piece of equipment. :) 3 - afaik they now come stock with the 5-teeth clamps. 4 - ...which is the better choice anyways imo - they are slim, very sturdy and still gentle on the string. Just great clamps, simple as that. Hope this helps a bit. :)
@@saitenkiller thanks so much for the detailed reply. Really appreciate it. I originally aimed for Penta 3600, changed my mind after learning some of the issues with 3600 from some BC members. Then one thread lead to another thread, i went from 3600 to Superstringer S90/T70 now to Stringmaster Deluxe. It's gonna do some major damage to my wallet, ouchie. Hope I don't ever have to upgrade again. Will do. I will contact Tennisman and ask bunch of questions. I heard Dirk is the man to speak to? Btw, from your experience, do you know if these machines ever go on big sale (annual event like Black Friday, Christmas, etc.)?
@@AYYY118 I’m afraid that’s a clear no to sales opportunities. Never seen anything like that at least. And looking at how fast each shipment of the Stringmasters is sold out, I don’t think that they will change that. 😅 And yes, Dirk is the owner of Tennisman and the right guy to talk to.
@@AYYY118 totally depends on how much he has on his plate atm. The whole shop is a one man show, so resources are very limited. If you don’t get an answer in a couple of days then don’t be scared to send a reminder.
