A '''stringing machine''' is a tool used to install [[Strings (tennis)|strings]] into a racquet through a process called racquet stringing. These machines vary in features, accuracy and price.

Line 30 ⟶ 31:

There are two types of electronic tension mechanisms: constant pull and lock out. Constant pull, as the name suggests, pulls the string and continues pulling until the desired tension is reached. The tension mechanism will ensure the string tension remains correct at all times, making stringing more consistent and accurate, as string stretching is taking into account. Lock out electronic stringing machines are similar to crank machines as they will pull to your desired tension but no longer monitor any reduction in tension over time. Constant pull technology will therefore offer greater levels of string accuracy.<ref>http://www.jfc-tennis.co.uk/buying-a-stringing-machine/</ref>

Most electronic stringing machines will offer many time saving and comfort features that include single action clamp bases, string measurer, electronic brake, height adjustable stand and colour touch-screen. <ref>http://www.racquetdepot.co.uk/blog/choosing-the-perfect-racquet-stringing-machine/</ref> The most recent stringing machines, such as the Yonex ES5 Pro and Wilson Baiardo, include an automatic turntable tilt function that turns at a small but noticablenoticeable angle when weaving the cross strings of a racquet. These features substantially reduce stress on the shoulders and back for a stringer.
