NEED HELP!

[darren122]

Me and my cousin are going into the stringing buisness and we are going to string alot of racquets. more than 20 a week.

So what stringing machines do you suggest in 1$-1,000$ range.

And should we get 1 really good stringing machine.

Or 2 medicore machines.

Im looking at lockout machines or electric machines.

How long do electric machines usally last on average.

And how long do lockouts last on average.

Also have any of you tried the Eagnas Smart 6000 or the Eagnas Fles 940

One last thing should I how much should we charge a stringing.

And the cost of string.


Thanks so much guys and girls

Dont all reply at once lol :D

I think most people will say that Eagnas is probably not the best idea. If I were you I would go with one quality machine. Something like a Prince Neos 1000 or an Alpha Apex.

[darren122]

Why not eagnas ive seen alot of of good reviews and a couple bad ones.

And i emalied them about everything and got an awnser quickly.


But just tell me any machines youll suggest

Thank you

Eagnas machines are considered lower quality in general. The biggest complaint with them is the American distributor (Maxline) is pretty awful when it comes to "customer service". For the most part, it appears to be nonexistent if something is wrong with the machine. If you want something reliable, I still vote for the Neos 1000 or the Apex. All I'm saying is that I've seen a lot more complaints concerning Eagnas machines and Maxline customer service than the Neos or Alpha machines. Eagnas appears to be more of a game of chance, some of the machines seem to be good and work out, others use cheaper materials and end up costing people a few hundred due to shipping the machine back and restocking fees. Also, the electronics in the Eagnas machines are lower quality based on a few comparisons people have made with other machines. It's up to you obviously, but there is a reason that there are a lot more pro shops using Neos than Eagnas.

Thanks alot Masamusou, but i still dont know yet the noes is pretty expensive.

hi Darren,

The Neos is not expensive if you are going to be stringing over 20 racquets per week, It will pay for itself in no time at all.

My 2 cents,

Andrew.

I think im am gunna get the alpha 4000 is that good?

[Masamusou]

First off, I had an Alpha Revo 3000, which is the older model. A few upgrades and different paint, and you have the 4000. Never had any problems with my Revo. With that being said, if you are really going to be running a shop, I highly suggest a free-standing machine. The free-standing equivalent of the Revo is the Alpha Axis Pro I believe. Check out the Blu-DC is you are going to look at Alpha. It is within your price range at around $900 plus shipping.
