When I first started writing, my only intention was to document my stringing experiments for my own reference.
There was supposed to be an end-date of sorts - a day where I achieved nirvana in my search for the perfect string, racket, tension combination that allowed me to annihilate all my competitors!
Now I know that day will never arrive. This journey would continue...
For those restless string testers who aspire to buy your own stringing machines, be warned that this is a bottomless pit. There is no end to the amount of testings.
To date, about 20 months after my machine arrived, I have used 42 reels of strings. This excludes individual packets or strings provided by friends.
The fun part was I got to try all sorts of stringing patterns my mind could imagine - 16x10, 22x30, 16x17, etc. And pull them at ridiculous tensions from 20+ lbs to 100+ lbs!
Just be prepared, most who buy their own machines end up spending more than getting their sticks strung elsewhere.
