The professional stringing machines with manual crank spring tensioners are "clones" of the Ektelon H model stringing machine. The earliest clone of the Ektelon H model is EAGNAS EAG-500 model. In 1992 Czechoslovakia began to manufacture stringing machines. Czech stringing machines use a similar design to those manufactured in Taiwan.
Current model stringing machines use one of three possible mounting systems: two-point, four-point or six-point mounting systems. Two-point mounting systems offer both head (tip) and throat support, four-point mounting systems also provide a pair of supports to the side of the frame, and six-point systems offer 2 pair (or a total of 4) side supports.
Models with a floating clamp (also called a flying clamp or speed clamp) tend to be less expensive, but they need to clamp two strings at a time to maintain proper string tension.
Fixed-clamp stringing machines are categorized as either glide bar-clamp or swivel-clamp models. Glide bar-clamp stringing machines have two glide bar clamps attached to the glide bar tray table; swivel-clamp stringing machines have two swivel clamps attached to the swivel turntable.
String clamps are typically made of two kinds of materials - either metal or composite resins. Metal clamps are better, but they are more expensive. Composite resin clamps are less expensive, but occasionally they won't be able to hold the string over 65 pound tension.
The single-action clamp is a one piece assembly - both the clamp and the base are attached to the turntable. Unfortunately, the brake of the single-action clamp wears out with frequent use, requiring regular maintenance.
In 1990, the Wilson Sporting Goods Co. introduced its Pro Staff (Prestige) stringing machine, which was manufactured in Taiwan. It utilized the single-action swivel clamp assembly, and it had brake problems (as mentioned above). Wilson Sporting Good Co. discontinued its production 2 years later. Current model stringing machines, utilizing the single-action clamp, are actually clones of this particular Wilson Pro Staff (Prestige) stringing machine. (If you are thinking about a stringing machine with a single-action clamp, check with the vendor about its brake assembly. You'll need to know how often the brake assembly needs to be serviced).
The dual-action swivel clamp has two parts. One is the clamp itself; the other is the swivel base, attached to the turntable. Stringing machines that utilize the dual-action clamp offer the advantage of being relatively maintenance-free (they do not have the brake assembly problems of the single-action swivel clamp stringing machines).
There are two types - those with spring-action levers and those without it. The dual-action swivel clamp bases that have spring-action levers are better, because they are both faster and much easier to use. Without the spring-action lever, the swivel base will occasionally catch the string.

The dual-action swivel clamp bases with spring-action levers make stringing much faster and easier, because they have the built-in springs. You do not have to use muscle to operate them. You just need one-eighth turn to lock and release the base. Without the spring-action lever, you need to use muscle to latch the clamp base to the turntable. The disadvantage of not having spring-action levers is: not easy to latch the clamp base, need half turn to lock and release the base, time consuming.
No, you can not install the spring-action lever on the clamp base without spring-action function. They are not compatible. You have to get a set of the spring-action clamp bases to install on the turntable.
The linear ball bearing string gripper is better, because it is much quicker and easier to use. All the professional stringing machines use the linear ball bearing string gripper.

The linear ball bearing string gripper consists of two metal blocks, 16 balls and a gripper housing. Two metal blocks are mounted against these 16 balls, 8 balls are for each metal block. Therefore, these two metal blocks will be able to slide to the left or right side smoothly. When they are at the left side, the gap between these two metal blocks is narrow. When they slide to the right, the gap is wide. When you place the string between these two metal blocks, these metal blocks will slide to the left and grip the string automatically. There is no bolt needed or muscle to use. The linear ball bearing string gripper will grip the string even before the drop weight rod is pulled. Therefore, you only need to use one hand to operate the linear ball bearing string gripper.
The cam string gripper will grip the string only when the drop weight rod is pulled. You always need to use two hands to operate the cam gripper: one hand has to pull the string with muscle, and the other hand to operate the drop weight rod.
The cost of the linear ball bearing string gripper is much higher than the cost of the cam string gripper. All the professional stringing machines use the linear ball bearing string gripper.
The manual crank spring tensioner is much quicker and much easier than the drop-weight tensioner. The fixed clamp is better than the floating clamp. The glide-bar clamp is faster than the swivel clamp. The linear ball bearing string gripper is quicker and easier than the cam (parallel jaw) string gripper. The linear ball bearing stringing gripper with spring clutch (ratchet) is better than the gripper without spring clutch.
The glide-bar clamping system is faster than the swivel clamping system. But you have to use the floating clamps to handle the fan-patterned racquets. The swivel clamping system can handle fan patterns. But it will be slower. If you do not have the fan-patterned racquets, the glide-bar system will be better.
The basic stringing tools are the needle nose pliers, diagonal cutter, and tennis awl (or badminton awl). Most of the stringing machine's packages do not include these 3 basic stringing tools. Some packages include the stringing tools. For example, The ST-200 has 2 awls, 1 diagonal cutter and 1 needle nose pliers. The packages of the EAG-90 II, PRO HELPER and PRO CRYSTAL include these 3 stringing tools and one starting clamp.
The ST-106 tool kit has the basic stringing tools.
There is another very useful tool. It is the ST-101 string guide. It is a very useful tool for guiding string through the shared grommet hole.
The stringing machine is adjusted and calibrated properly before shipping out of the factory. But the tension setting might be off due to the ocean shipment and inland trasnportation. It is a good idea to get a tension calibrator to check the tension setting and to calibrate if necessary.
You need to purchase the additional two badminton string clamps (PN-3091P, PN-3091, PN-7066, PN-1004, or PN-1007) and the badminton awl (BS-909). Some of the stringing machine's packages include the badminton string clamps, such as EAG-550, EAG-700, EAG-700A, EAG-860, EAG-900, EAG-960, EAG-2120 and EAG-3120.
One V-shaped side support provides 2-point supports; one point is on the top edge of the racquet frame and the other is on the bottom edge of the racquet frame. Four V-shaped side supports will provide 8 supporting points. One half V-shaped side support provides 1-point support; the support is on the top edge of the frame. One K-shaped side support has 2 half V-shaped supports. The Large half V-shaped side support is for the tennis racquets; the small half V-shaped side support is for the badminton racquets. One plastic stopper side support provides 1-point support; the support is on the outer side of the frame.

We have the step by step illustrated stringing tutorial guides for all Eagnas stringing machines. You shall be able to follow the tutorial guide step by step and learn how to string the racquets. It is not difficult to string a racquet. Basically you have to go through the learning period.
To choose a stringing machine, you might take into consideration the following factors.
1. What is your budget? How much money would you like to spend on stringing machine?
A. About $100.00 to $200.00:
You can get a drop-weight stringing machine with 2-point mounting,
cam string gripper, 1 drop weight and 2 floating clamps.
B. About $200.00 to $300.00:
You can get a drop-weight stringing machine with 6-point mounting,
linear ball bearing string gripper, 2 drop weights and 2 floating
clamps.
C. About $400.00 to $500.00:
You can get a drop-weight stringing machine with 6-point mounting,
linear ball bearing string gripper, 2 drop weights, 1 turntable
and 2 fixed clamps.
D. About $500.00 to $1000.00:
You can get a crank stringing machine with 2 to 6 point mounting,
1 crank spring tension head, 1 turntable and 2 to 6 fixed clamps.
E. About $1000.00 to $5000.00:
You can get an electronic stringing machine with 6-point mounting,
1 electronic tension head, 1 turntable and 2 fixed clamps.
2. How many racquets are you going to string every year?
For example, you have 30 racquets to string yearly. The average stringing charge of the pro shop is about $20.00 per racquet. The total cost to string 30 racquets is about $600.00. Therefore, you could purchase a $600.00 stringing machine, and get your investment back within one year. If you have few racquets to string, you might get the less expensive stringing machine.
Yes, it is a good idea to get a stringing machine. You will get your investment back within one year. Otherwise, you have to pay for the re-string service anyway.
EAGNAS 10 stringing machine has the linear ball bearing string gripper with spring clutch (ratchet) and V-shaped side supports. The DEN-3600 only has the linear ball bearing string gripper and does not have the V-shaped side supports.
HAWK 800 has 2 dual-action swivel clamps. The swivel clamp base does not have the spring-action lever. It can handle fan-patterned racquets. But it will be slower than the EAG-700.
EAG-700 has 6 glide-bar clamps: 2 oversized, 2 standard tennis, and 2 badminton. You have to use the floating clamps to handle fan-patterned racquets. It will be faster than the HAWK 800.
HAWK 800 and EAG-700 have the identical crank spring tensioner. The only difference is the color of the cover. HAWK 800 has the black color; EAG-700 has the gray color.
HAWK 80 has 2 regular dual-action swivel clamps. The swivel clamp base does not have the spring-action lever. The string gripper does not have the ratchet device.
Y12-3 has 2 heavy-duty, dual-action swivel clamps. The swivel clamp base has the spring-action lever. The string gripper has the uni-direction clutch (ratchet device).
Y12-3 will be better, more convenient and faster than HAWK 80.
The PRO HELPER has the linear ball bearing string gripper, motor, chain, and electronic tension control circuit board. It has the more complex electronic design and construction. It is the floor model.
The HAWK 880 has the cam string gripper, motor and LED readout. It has the simple design and construction. It is the table-top model.
Therefore, the Hawk 880 has the complete different design and construction from the PRO HELPER.
The mounting system of the Neon 21 is called the suspension mounting system. The supports are the 4 V-shaped side-support arms. The head and throat mounting posts are only hold the racquet in place.
The other mounting system is called the hold-down mounting system. The supports are the head and throat mounting posts. The side-supports are only to hold the racquets in place. The Hawk 880 has this mounting system.
The Neon tension head is the electronic tension head, which makes stringing much faster and easier:
The Silent Partner tension head is the electric tension head:
The drop-weight machines are much cheaper than the manual crank machines. Generally speaking, the price of the portable machines shall be lower than the floor models'. Therefore, most of the portable machines have the drop-weight tensioners. The advantage of the drop-weight machines is: simple construction, cheap, constant tension-pull. The disadvantage is: not easy to operate, time consuming.
No, you can not upgrade a drop-weight machine to the manual crank machine. They have different construction. If you really want to upgrade it, you have to purchase the manual crank tensioner, tensioner track, etc. They are very expensive parts. And you have to do some engineering works.
Yes, you can change it to a swivel clamp machine. Basically you have to purchase the turntable, two mounting stocks, two swivel clamp bases and two swivel clamps. But they are very expensive parts.
You can get string patterns from the racquet vendors, or you can get them from the internet. Here are some locations:
Dunlop Sports Racquet Stringing InstructionsA 660 ft. reel will string about 20 racquets.
No, we do not have the string comparison chart.
There are only few string manufacturers around the world. They are the OEM string suppliers to all the importers and wholesalers. The importers will create a special trade name for a particular string to distinguish it from the other importers' identical strings. By this way the importer can set up his own price structure. But we have no way to know which string is identical to the other strings. The string manufacturers will not supply this kind of information to the importers and wholesalers. It is their trade secret.
Therefore, one importer can mark up his string price for $15.00 per set. The other string suppler will sell this identical string with his own trade name for only $5.00 each. The difference is that the high-price string supplier have to recruit his heavy advertisement expensive, higher overhead cost, etc.
No, we provide the best prices on the stringing machines and strings. The string package means "forced purchase". The customers pay the higher price to get the stringing machine and string package.
The nylon is durable, but the performance is not that great. The Kevlar is very durable and the performance is better than the nylon. The Synthethic gut is not durable; but the performance is better than the nylon and kevlar.
There is no difference between them. The 1 drop weight is only for the tennis racquets. The 2 drop-weight machines have 1 drop weight for the tennis racquets; the other drop weight is for the badminton racquets.
The Hawk 880 is identical to the Neon 21 except the mounting system. The Hawk 880 has the hold-down mounting system; the Neon 21 has the suspention mounting system.
Functionally the Neon 21 is compatible to the Neon CX except the cover and the base. The Neon CX has the pretty plastic cover and the steel base; the Neon 21 has the metal case and the cast metal base. The advantage of the Neon CX is that it can be mounted on the floor stand and can be converted into the upright model. The Neon 21 can not be mounted on the floor stand.
The Neon CX21 is identical to the Neon CXS except the base. The Neon CX21 has the H-shaped base; the Neon CXS has the X-shaped base.
The Hawk 800 stringing machine is identical to the GA stringing machine except the turntable and the color. The Hawk 800 has the cast turntable and the black color. The turntable of the GA is made from the sheet steel metal. And the GA has two swivel clamp tracks mounted on the turntable. The GA has the silver and blue color.
The Hawk 80 stringing machine is identical to the GC stringing machine except the turntable and the color. The Hawk 80 has the cast turntable and the black color. The turntable of the GC is made from the sheet steel metal. And the GC has two swivel clamp tracks mounted on the turntable. The GC has the silver and blue color.
The characteristics of the deop-weight machines are cheaper, constant pull, not easy to use, very slow process, time consuming, and relatively maintenance-free.
The characteristics of the electric machines are cheap, constant pull, varied tension on every pull, AC voltage deviation affecting every tension pull, very slow process, time consuming, and maintenance needed.
The characteristics of the crank machines are not cheap, not constant pull, precise tension on every pull, very easy to use, very fast process, and relatively maintenance-free.
The characteristics of the electronic machines are expensive, constant pull, precise tension on every pull, slow process, and maintenance needed.
The electric stringing machine is not worth to mention. Please refer to the FAQ for the answer. The advantage of the electronic stringing machines is constant pull, no muscle needed and precise tension on every pull. The disadvantage of the electronic stringing machines is slow process, and maintenance needed.
The advantage of the manual crank machines is precise tension on every pull, very easy to use, very fast process, and relatively maintenance-free. The disadvantage of the manual crank machines is not constant pull, manual crank needed.
The gilde bar system is a very good system. It offers the fastest clamping and the fastest process speed. But this system has been on the market for over 20 years. There were models with the EAG-960 turntable on the Pro helper. But the factory does not produce this configuration anymore.
The tension range of the Hawk 10 stringing machine is from 20 pounds to 80 pounds. If your badminton racquet is in this tension range, you can use the Hawk 10 stringing machine to handle the badminton stringing.
The standard package of the floating clamp system has one oversized and one standard floating clamps. The oversized clamp is very easy to handle the cross strings around the head and throat area because the gap between the strings are wide.
