Hello together, I've a question for the stringing machine Yonex Protech 8: Where can I order these 2 fixed clamp for this machine and the 4 Adapter for Badminton rackets in Germany? Thanking you in anticipation
Hello together! I've already contact ToyoZuki (info@.toyoz.co.jp) but It's not possible to order these Clamps: here his Answer to my Request: Dear Mr. Long Nguyen Thank you for your explanation. I was able to understand the content very well. If you use the machine for badminton rackets, you need not only the clamps, but also another parts. (One H-shaped attachment , and four adapters for badminton) Please be careful. By the way, our company has become a group company of YONEX Co.,Ltd. from November. Please contact YONEX GmbH. http://www.yonex.de/ Sorry for this and thank you for your understanding. Best Regards, Naoki Sagane Has anybody ever ordered these Clamps here before? Can somebody help me here? Thank you in advance!
You might need to find a Yonex dealer in your country and they can probably order. If you can find a small shop that is a dealer, maybe they can get you a better price, a big shop might not want to care about what you want and discourage you from buying with high prices. You need clamps for Protech8? ES5 Protech8, barrels are different FYI. Sent from my Lenovo PB2-690Y using Tapatalk
Yes I need Clamps for the ES8 .. I've bought this machine some days before and the owner before only string tennis rackets! He doesn't have any badminton equipment. He told me that he has already talk to yonex germany! It's was a women and she was rude. Moreover, it wasn't able to get the Manual in german or english for this machine. I've already contact a yonex dealer last week and I'm still waiting for the answer! In Addition, I've already contact someone from stringing team and still waiting for the answer! here the machine:
Hi Lukas, maybe Sport Lövenich can help you. I'm from Germany (too) and bought a Protech 8 second hand in April. Usually there are both, tennis and badminton clamps included, so I don't know, why the former owner hasn't got the badminton clamps. The H-piece is very easy to get, but the other parts could be difficult. I wanted to change the 4 badminton adapters and wanted to buy new ones, but Sport Lövenich told me that they would need to order them from Yonex and Yonex might order them from Japan. So I guess that you have to wait 1-2 months. Oh, who did you asked from the stringing team? Maybe I know him Best regards, Moritz
Hi Mokomima, thank you for the information! I will contact Sport Lövenich.. maybe I'll have luck! I'll asked Han Cu Thai for the clamps ) best regards Lukas
Seems that way I messaged them yesterday and they replied saying they only supply parts for their own machines, and asked for the serial number. That would've been the final upgrade for my machine! I have the 4-tooth Gamma universal clamps which are mostly good, but the spacing isn't the best for badminton.
It was better suited to tennis than badminton, so I upgraded/sidegraded to a Gamma 8900 ELS. Apart from the minor clamp spacing issue, it's pretty much perfect.
I'll have a close look at the spacing of the StringMaster clamps. Only testing it on a strung racket, the spacing of the 5-teeth version seems to fit really well and the holding power is impressive. Directly pulling against the clamp (with LN1 clamped only at the teeth), I could go up to 40 lbs. without any slippage or any serious damage to the string.
I have to get these clamps...just still thinking on how I have to rebuild them so I can use them with the SuperStringer!
My personal opinion, it will be worth to wait until the bases are also available separately. Cause hands down, this will happen sooner or later. The clamps alone are good, but it's the combination with the base that gives it the real kick.
I will provide a lot of detail pictures along with the review of the machine. But since the badminton specific support bits haven't arrived yet, I'm afraid this will take another couple of days. But here's a little sneak preview:
Hi Lukas, Did you buy some Yonex fixed clamps for badminton? If yes, where did you buy them? Best regards, Elund
Hi Elund.dk, I've order them from "Badminton Wilde"! He has ordered them for me by Yonex Germany! Sorry for the late answer! Best Regards,
