So sorry for my delay. I had two family emergencies at once, carrying my mind off to helping others overcome difficult times. I will need to reread and rewatch content to help find where I was and catch up on anything missed. Did we decide on a model machine that could get me pretty far down the road. What do most people here use? Once again I have no experience with any stringing machines. I am am well read on strings a racket dynamics regarding string. I have been the middle man for about a year. Everyone in our small but growing group, including a highschool team bringing me sticks and I drop of with the stringer guy in next town over (am I even using this term correctly?) Not sure about his passion for his work either. Not like the service I used in FL, keeping in mind it's always very helpful for the pro stringer guy to play within your group, an angle I will certainly probe when I get up and running. I was just playing tennis with a preacher in town not long ago and he said it sure would be nice if we had a shop where we could try out other racket setups to get at least a idea and so fort! yup it sure would lol Cheers all!
