Drop weight stringing machines are inexpensive that use a weighted bar to achieve the desired string [[Tension (physics)|tension]]. Using only weight and simple laws of physics (torque = force x distance) they are very precise and also constant pull type of machines.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/the-physics-of-a-dropweight-tensioner.170414/}}</ref> They are the most maintenance-free type of machines and also the most affordable. <ref>http://www.racquetdepot.co.uk/blog/choosing-the-perfect-racquet-stringing-machine/</ref> As a result, these stringing machines are popular among those learning how to string a racquet or string on a casual basis.
