4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, February 9, 2008

For the money, this is one of the better stringing machines for the home stringer on a low budget. I didn't bother with the composite floating clamps, as I purchased Stringway double and triple flying clamps. After roughly 10 string jobs, I've cut my stringing time from 2 hours to about 40 minutes. Ratcheting function on the dropweight arm is one of the reasons I would recommend the X-2 over a similar dropweight such as the Klippermate (but I would strongly suggest switching to better flying clamps). Came with 12 sets of free string from Gamma and all the basic tools you need to complete a string job. Great machine for anyone wanting to start out in stringing (and it essentially pays for itself after 10 string jobs if you normally pay $15 to have it done at a pro shop).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good machine, does the job well, January 11, 2007

This machine is good for personal stringing. I've been using it to string my badminton rackets and it works well. But it does take a bit of time to string one racket, hence not recommended for professional stringers. Gamma also includes a bunch of strings to test out for free. Even their top of the line ones.

The only negative thing I don't like about the machine is the manual. I don't think it's as comprehensive as it should be. Also, the clamps are not as nice to work with.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this to those personal stringers out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Starting Machine - I should've bought years ago, October 9, 2008

By 

Balboa (CT) - See all my reviews

This machine works great for the price. The ratcheting arm is easy and makes me wonder why all machines don't have it. Came with 12 sets of strings ranging from Gamma Asterik, Gamma TNT2 16 to Challenger Syn Gut and Advantage 15L guage. Also, they throw in some grips, racquet gauze tape, and a usrsa stringing manual which is much more helpful than their manual. For instance, the assembly figure in their manual shows sliding the weight onto the dropweight arm with the tightening clamp facing up, but in the description it says it should face down (I believe the written description is correct). Also, it's not so clear from the pictures, but the small round metal ring supplied goes on the post of the turntable to raise it up slightly so that racquets don't hit the string winder during 360° rotation. The USRSA manual provides racquet stringing examples, knots, how to start mains and is very thorough. THere are a lot of good videos on youtube for othere helpful tips. Performance is great. I strung 3 racquets and they play very well and feel as crisp as a professional string job to my amateur hands. The flying clamps are sufficient, but I've found I have to tighten them more when starting the mains to prevent slippage. A starting clamp would have been nice. You can back off the tightness of the flying clamps after that so as not to damage any strings. Well worth the money, and the string package makes it such a great deal.
