I’ve owned the Eagnas Challenger 1 stringing machine for just a month now and have strung five racquets. Over all I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a high quality machine for personal use. The Challenger 1 offers exceptional value.
Assembly was 90% smooth and painless. The one issue I had was with the cast support for the tension arm. It is a rough iron casting and is not machined on critical surfaces at the factory, resulting in a cock-eye pivot axis on my unit. I removed the support and hand filed the bottom surface where it contacts the base. Upon reinstallation, I needed to shim under the inside edge with stiff sandpaper to achieve a square orientation. Problem solved. This is a solid, heavy duty unit that I expect to last for decades.
The mounting system and string clamps work solidly. They are simple to adjust at the string and base. The six-point mounting system works great. The ball bearing pivot for the table is rock solid and smooth. The string gripper on the tensioning arm is smooth and easy to use. There’s some crushing of the string, but this is normal.
Eagnas has produced a terrific bag for the buck machine here.
