What Others Say
Good Starting Machine - I should've bought years ago
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 ... Read More
Good Value
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 ... Read More
Good machine, does the job well
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.
