So many videos on youtube showing how to restring the racquet, but yours is the best of them all, very thorough and detailed explanation. Thank you very much for a great work!

Hi, thanks for putting together such a nice video! I break strings a lot for a recreational players (couple of times a month) but did not having confidence to get into stringing. Watching your video provided me the necessary confidence to buy a Gamma Progression 200. I watched the video again once end to end and went back a bunch of times while on the first racquet and manage to finish within 2 hrs.
Thanks!

Thanks for the informative video. I dusted out my X2 and strung my first racquet in 10 years. It took me 2h:45m but the job is perfect. I can get it down to 1h.

Thank you for these instructions, I've strung 5 rackets on my machine and I frequently go back to this video

I think how you start the mains by double pulling on each side will contribute to lower tension on the center mains. The only way to prevent this is to measure the tension loss and then correct it by adding the loss to the tension at the center. So I know that by using a stating clamp, I lose about 3 lbs at the two center mains using a stringometer. I just undo the mains and increase the center tension by 3 lbs. After the completing the stringing, I remeasure the tension across all mains they are now uniform. It is important to keep the tension as uniform as possible. Of course, one could argue that by using vibration dampeners will also cause tension loss at that center mains. This is true, however, if one doesn't try to make the tension uniform, the loss from the dampeners will be much worse. One other thing, my Gamma's drop weight machine is off by +1.5 lbs. So if I'm doing a string job for X weight, I will set the machine to X-1.5 lbs. You can check your machine using a digital luggage weight scale.

Thanks, this is a great tutorial and really helped me :)

Many beginner tutorials like this aren't comprehensive enough, and assume too much of someone just starting out, this one didn't have that problem. IMO this is the best beginner drop weight stringing tutorial out there.

Thank you so much for this video! I was just gifted one of these and the manual was confusing, but your video was very clear and straightforward. I now have my first racket successfully strung!

Thank you! Was helpful as a refresher for me getting back into stringing.

Thanks Alan. Good job. Thinking of getting this machine but I was afraid it would be too involved. I can see now it is quite doable.

If you ever redo the video it might be a nice intro to explain the reasons why you might want to string your own - is is just convenience, do you save a lot of money in the long term etc etc.
