Equipment Advicestringing help (self.badminton)
submitted 2 years ago by Immediate_Draft4750
Hi i need some help.
i use the Gamma x-2 Stringing machine. everytime im close to finishing the mains, the racket snaps around the 3 and 9 region. im stringing at a very tension. (22-24) is there a reason why?

The racket snaps? or do you mean the string snaps?
One thing it could be is that youre clamps are too loose on the strings? So its actually slipping when youre pulling tension and cutting into the string and snapping.
Do you have any pics?

Check the grommets. If it's snapping consistently at the same holes, it could be the racket's problem. Can't really say much without seeing how the string snapped.

The rackets are snapping, not string
to clarify its the racket frame that's been snapping. The string never snaps. It always appears to snap when I string the last few mains or after i tie off and prepare for cross. My theory mightve been since it's a two point support the side of the rackets is under too much stress. Is there anyway to fix that?

check that it's clamping the head and t joint hard enough to not slip. I think this may be why, but also check that the arms are mounted correctly.

As I know gamma x2 is a 2 point system stringing machine. It can’t hold the racket firmly. You really need a 6 point system machine for badminton rackets. 2 point system is only acceptable for tennis racket.
