New string-machine

Today I received a new Pro´s Pro Pilot table-top string-machine. The reasons I bought a new was
A) The old one was starting to rattle a bit and , well used is used...
B) I felt the floor-stand was WAY to low
Since I already had a homemade floor-stand I felt if i bought a table-top i would save my back when stringing.

I packed it up when I got home from work today and installed everything, removed the crank and installed my Wise tension head and strung 2 rackets for a friend at 28 kgs. It went very smooth and the machine was very nice to work with. Nice clamps and i loved the work-height of the unit. No back-problem what so ever. I always used to get back-pain when string on the old unit since it´s made for persons sub 150 cm´s or so.

Tomorrow I will be out on the ice again and guard the net. I have not been out on the ice for almost 3 weeks now. Tennis is taking all my focus and hockey has been priority,, low , at the moment. Gotta shape it up though as we have a season-ending tournament in Gothenburg the weekend of march 14-15. Gotta stay sharp and help the team. After that I will put my gear on rest until october and focus 110% on tennis and tennis-related fitness work.

G´night!
