Stringing Machines
In the late summer 2017 we took possession of the latest Babolat Stringing machines, extending a partnership with Babolat that has seen us through over a decade and seven editions as official on site stringer at the Rogers Cup.
The new machines come in three different set ups (Perf, Perf Link and Ultimate Link) replacing the Star 5, Sensor and Sensor Expert. We currently have two of the Perf Link machines in our Bayview store (the only place with these machines in North America) and a Perf machine in Oakville. Those familiar with Babolat’s previous machines will see that the classic 6-point mounting system is unchanged, remaining simple yet effective, and they still remain the most accurate of machines right down to 0.1Kg, but beyond that there are some major upgrades. The traditional turntable has been replaced by a slick, 360 degree rail that allows the clamp bases unrestricted movement meaning that stringers are able to work in a way that was impossible and unthinkable before. The tension head now automatically grips the string before pulling tension, distributing the pressure on the string better. The clamps don’t have to be adjusted anymore as they automatically sense the gauge and apply the correct pressure. The menu systems are also far improved with the option of either a touch screen or a reconfigured monochrome screen which makes endless scrolling a think of the past.
These machines are currently the machine of choice at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
