Gamma X-2 Tennis Stringing Machine

It is good though it broke a few days after we we received it but we fixed it. Never had further issues

Does the job it is supposed to. Perfectly adequate for a home stringer. I was a total beginner at stringing when i bought the machine, but after a couple of early hiccups have had no trouble using it to string at a level that is perfectly adequate for a good club player to use. Beware the misleading other reviews which have come from amazon.com, you don't get any instruction manuals or free string with the amazon.co.uk item.

Excellent machine, simple and quick to use

Machine turned up with minor damage.Also, poor and flawed design will result in warping / deforming most rackets to a varying degree, depending on racket construction and stiffness. This is extremely harmful to any racket and risks severe damage.Beware of the many good reviews from people that just haven't discovered the issue (yet?) - this is essentially just taking advantage of beginners that don't know better.Gamma accused me of not knowing how to use it and despite it being sold as a machine ideal for beginners (I'm not a beginner - I just wanted a cost effective and compact solution), Gamma insist it takes some experience to use this machine. That can be said of any machine, but that's not the issue here and this response is Gamma blatantly swerving the fact it's design is ultimately not fit for purpose.Very disappointed and Gamma have been difficult, ridiculous and rude.Look elsewhere and avoid the false economy of these machines ... and most likely all Gamma products.

Ich kann die hier hervorgehobenen, negativen Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen. Dieses Gerät ist sein Geld absolut wert und reicht jedem Club-Tennisspieler, um seine Schläger selbst zu bespannen und so sehr viel Geld zu sparen. Das Gerät ist sehr gut eingepackt mit massig angepasstem Styropor, die Maschine hat das perfekte Gewicht, nicht zu schwer aber auch kein Pappenstiel. Und das wichtigste: es ist alles dabei was man zum Besaiten braucht, bis auf die Saite, die ihr selbst kaufen müsst :) Aber an Werkzeug ist alles dabei, was nötig ist. Und es macht sehr viel Spaß, mit diesem Gerät zu bespannen.Und wer regelmäßig im Club Tennis spielt und alle paar Wochen oder öfter die Saiten reisst, hat die ca. 300 Euro sehr schnell wieder drin.Darüber hinaus bietet Gamma sehr gute Videos auf Youtube und es gibt jede Menge Tennis-Youtuber, die genau diese Maschine nutzen und zeigen, wie man damit optimal bespannt.Und ja, man hört auch immer wieder, dass ein 2-Punkt-Fixiersystem schlecht für den Rahmen sein soll, aber dazu muss man sagen, dass z.B. die Bespannmaschine Prince NEOS, ein absolutes Edelgerät, ebenfalls ein 2-Punkt-System hat. Und dass man in verschiedenen Tennisforen nachlesen kann, dass unzählige Spieler diese Maschine teilweise schon länger als ein Jahrzehnt einsetzen und immer noch hochzufrieden sind.Wenn ihr diese Gamma also sachgerecht benutzt, müsst ihr euch weder Gedanken um die Gesundheit eures Schlägers machen noch befürchten, dass die Maschine schnell den Geist aufgibt.Dass man heutzutage so eine wertige Bespannmaschine für 300 Euro bekommt, ist ein Segen für jeden ambitionierten Tennisspieler. Ich kann nichts negatives über die Gamma X-2 sagen.

La máquina es realmente fácil de usar una vez que sabes utilizarla. Llevo 3 encordadas y realmente ha sido muy sencillo. Previo a esto estuve viendo un video en youtube para saber cómo utilizarla. La relación valor/precio es realmente muy buena. Yo solo juego de forma recreativa por lo que no necesito encordar de forma rápida (eso si es lento - 1.5horas aprox) La compré porque compré un rollo de cuerda sintética ya descontinuada que siempre me ha gustado y para no depender de terceros la compré. Estoy muy contento con la compra y con la calidad de la máquina. Llegó rápido. Viene con herramienta por lo que no es necesario contar con equipo adicional. Si recomiendo unas pinzas cortadoras más grandes y unas pinzas de arranque pero no es necesario.

This is a very great stringer for a beginner stringer at a very affordable price!Disclaimer: The above comments said it came with 12 sets of strings or so. Mine only came with 6. Which is fine, because you will probably use these strings as practice strings. When you get good with stringings (probably after the 4th string job you do on this machine, you will probably want to buy the reels. You only use about 32 feet of string or less. (at least I did with a 16x19 racquet)) In an individual set of strings, you're given 40 feet of string, so if you use 32 feet of string or less, look at how much string you're saving if you get a reel! More string + more play time + more tennis for your buck!I learned how to use this machine by studying my own tennis racquet and watching Youtube Videos. Looking at the direction the grommet is facing will let you know which holes go to crosses, which holes are mains and which holes are shared.My first string job was about 1 hour and 52 minutes, and after stringing 6 racquets, I can string in about an hour or a bit less than that. The only frustrating thing about this was that I felt the instruction booklet didn't do a great job teaching how to make the knot. Of course, no problem at all for Youtube. It taught me well.I've never had any issues with the clamp. It's a very straight forward clamp and the handles are pretty large and I believe it is very hard to get your fingers stuck in there for it to be a bloody mess.I used to just believe that getting a string job done at the professionals is always the way to go and for that reason, I stopped to consider getting my own stringer. Well, let me shed some light on that. The professional stringers, those at the tennis shops at your local place, they definitely do a great job. However, you can too. Once you learn how to use this device (like I said probably after the 4th string job on this device which won't be a problem since this comes with 6 strings) you can do just as great of a job as they can and guess what? You can save a lot of money too.Anyway, to sum it up.Pros: - Comes with 6 set of strings. - Installation is easy with instruction booklet - Cheap and built to last - Once you get good, it will be a lifetime money saver - Once you finish a string job, it will feel great.Cons: - May be frustrating at first, but don't worry. You'll get it. I promise! - Will take a bit longer to string as compared to the more expensive machines. (Just practice and you'll get faster. But practice safely. Don't rush and hurt yourself in the process) - Instructional manual is only good for set up. Does a terrible job on teaching you how to actually string. (Thank goodness Youtube is your best friend, right?)I can't think of any other pros and cons. I feel like for each of the cons there are ways to combat it and make it into something manageable. So if you have about $200 laying around, this is a great investment for a tennis player. I am a 4.5 and maybe a 5.0 on a good day. I don't feel any inconsistencies in the tension around the racquet, and it's really a well done string job when I hit with my own racquets after I string it.Note: If Youtube isn't your best friend, I'm sure you can ask it and it'll say yes. You'll find Youtube a must on this device as it'll teach you a lot better than the instruction manual on this device. Youtube "Gamma X-2" and there should be some videos for you to watch.Anyway, good luck, and have fun stringing and afterwards, feel even better by hitting some aces or winners on your freshly strung racquet!

Exelente maquina de encordados para raquetas de tenis, una ves entendiendo como usarla es muy facil hacer los encordados , la puse a prueba encordando dos de mis raquetas y quedaron exelentes, justo a la tencion que yo queria, ahora ya no tengo que preocuparme por llevar mis raquetas a encordar en lugares tan lejanos, es una ventaja tener una de estas en casa; Si eres jugador o entrenador te combiene tener una de estas maquinas casa, es un exelente producto lo recomiendo.

I own 4 racquets, and cost average $43 each for pro string job. The first try stringing was time consuming, but with the help of You-tube tutorials, should be second nature. In few years time, you break even, and can hit harder not to worry about breaking strings!
