WISE Tension Head (series 14)

The WISE Tension Head (Series 14) is designed to convert your existing manual pull or drop weight machine (requires an adaptor, see below for more information) to a modern constant pull stringing machine. It takes only minutes to simply remove your manual tension head and clamp on the electronic head.

• Converts wind back or drop weight machines
• Accuracy to a tenth of a pound
• Can be calibrated (instructions come with the machine) and we recommend you purchase a WISE 2090 Calibrator for checking and calibrating your machine accurately.
• Continuous pull or lock out tensioning
• Tension can be set in pounds or kilos
• Digital readout
• Speed control - 3 speed settings
• New switch behind the grippers for easier and quicker stringing

Watch this video explaining how it works:

Foot Pedal: To speed up the stringing process, simply add on the foot pedal allowing you to touch it with your foot to activate the pull mechanism. This keeps your hands free and decreases stringing time. Click here for more information.

Drop Weight Bracket: If you plan to convert a drop weight machine, you will need to add a drop weight bracket. This bracket fits perfectly to Spinfire stringing machines as well as various other brands (hole spacing is 70mm from centres, designed for two M8 x 25mm screws (screws are not included, you should use the original screws that were holding in place the drop weight mechanism)). Some models (other than Spinfire) may require an extra hole to be drilled into this bracket to make it fit or even to widen the existing bracket holes so that the original screws can fit through.

How to string a tennis racquet

If you want to learn more about the process of stringing a tennis racquet, please watch the videos below.

When stringing we recommend using the Pro Knot. When done correctly the knot is very compact with the end of the string neatly tucked against the frame. It is fast, easy to do, and very secure with no spillage or breakage issues with all string types.
