klippermate

To all you string breakers out there (me included) wise up and get yourself a Klippermate stringing machine. You see, whatever racket sport you play, be it tennis, racquetball, squash or badminton, the biggest cost you will face is the price of a re-string.

Your "top of the range" racquet may cost $150 and it may well last for years, tennis and squash balls don't cost that much, and you can easily find cheap courts to play on. Racket sports are pretty easy on your wallet, until you get to the small matter of re-stringing your racquet.

If like me you play seriously, you like your racquets strung at a high tension, giving you more control and power. It's a great feeling when you hit that first shot with your favourite bat strung just how you like it. You usually get this feeling when you have just got your racquet back from whoever has strung it for you, and the $30 you paid them for it. But hey, it was worth it because you know that very soon you will get that great feeling again! If you play as much as i do you know exactly what i am talking about.

LET ME DO A LITTLE CALCULATION HERE

If you like nothing more than blasting the hell out of a ball, you may break your strings twice a month (a conservative estimate!) and let's say it costs you $30 per re-string.

That amounts to $720 per year!

The Klippermate costs just $140-$150

Even if you have never strung a racket before, the klippermate comes with all the instructions you need to string your rackets. Now don't think you will be stringing like a pro immediately, it may take you a couple of hours and a few attempts to get comfortable with the klippermate, this is what happens when you learn a new skill. However, practice makes perfect, and soon you will be stringing with more confidence. After this you can now string for your friends, team mates and anyone else who is in need of a re-string (there are plenty out there). Even if you charge them say $20, you will have made your money back within a matter of weeks!

CAN YOU SEE THE POTENTIAL HERE?

This is an excellent little machine! For any regular player not to have one is a shame. I more than paid for this within 6 months on the racquetball courts. My son is now into tennis and I have expanded into stringing tennis racquets. Decent strings are cheap on the web and, if you do it yourself, you can easily save 50% per racquet. Tools supplied have worked very well - the occasional cleaning and or adjustment is all they've needed. If I were to buy another it would be a "deluxe" klippermate model with all the bells and whistles - at about 5 times the price of this little jewel!

Ordered the stringer from Klipper and received it within a few days. There was no assembly needed. The user manual that comes with the stringer is excellent. The klippermate manual is user friendly and will help anyone string a racquet for the first time. I have been using the stringer for more than two years. The floating clamps generally hold. They need to be adjusted and sometimes pop off with certain strings. You can use the stringer almost anywhere: kitchen table, coffee table, bleachers. As a general rule, expect to take close to an hour to string a racquet with the machine. It all depends on the string used. Natural gut takes a while. I usually buy my strings directly from Klipper. They are good quality strings and don't cost as much as the name brands. The klippermate machine has been worth the price. I have saved considerable money stringing my own racquets. What used to cost me $30 at a pro shop, now costs me $8.

This machine is awesome. I strung my first racquet in about 1.5 hours, without knowing anything about stringing. The klippermate manual is great, and their site has string patterns for almost any racquet. The drop weight takes a little getting used to, but is fast once you get the hang of it.
They also have great resale value... I saw one go on ebay for $120.. and it was used for multiple years. I hear these things last forever too.
It will save you a ton of money, and you can easily experiment with your strings. I used to get my racquet strung at the local tennis shop for $30, now I can string mine for $4 (with Prince Synthetic Gut w/ Duraflex from Tenniswarehouse). It will pay for itself in a few stringing.
So order your machine. It's incredibly easy to string, and you will save yourself money right away!

Stringer arrived within 4 business days. Ordered via telephone and the salesperson was very knowledgable about the product and strings. Within 3 hours of opening the box I had my racket strung. Great machine and easy to use. I should have bought this machine years ago instead of wasting my money on letting someone else string my racket. I highly recommend this stringer for DIYers.

The machine was very easy to assemble, only requiring about 3 minutes. The manual is terrific and really explains the stringing process. My first test racquet was my old Prince CTS Approach 90 (14x18). Since this was my first racquet on the Klippermate, it took a little while to get the hang of the machine. But, I ended up finishing in a little over 2 hours. My next few racquets (Babolat Pure Control 98 & Wilson nSix-one) have been around 1.5 hours. I feel you can gain some speed the more your string with the Klippermate, but feel that 30 minutes is not obtainable. The clamps are easy to use and do a good job of holding the strings securely. Overall satisfied. Great stringer for the money!

The best place to buy a klippermate is on e-bay, they have their own store there, and it doesn't matter where you are in the world, they ship worldwide. The reason why i bought mine from e-bay is that they have 100% feedback, and if your still not sure if the klippermate is the one for you, then just read some of the feedback from the many satisfied customers. The klippermate is also $5 cheaper when you buy on e-bay!!

PS. I buy all my racquets on e-bay. There are many "power sellers" with their own stores, and they offer huge discounts on rackets, you don't even need to bid, and i promise, you will not find them cheaper anywhere else on the internet. It's a great way to save yourself money.
