Product Description
The Spinfire Blaze is simply an amazing machine, but combined with a WISE Tension Head it's almost too good to be true. We provide this combo by removing the winding mechanism and instead providing the WISE Tension Head which works out cheaper than buying them both separately. The WISE Tension Head is a fully electronic head which braces onto the existing track of the Blaze. It provides "constant pull" which is not available on the Blaze on its own. It also has a linear string gripper which is generally not seen on machines under $3,900. This combination also allows for a full 360 degree turntable, with the racquet handle passing over the top of the WISE Tension Head. By combining these two machines together, you can purchase a professional machine at half the price! The Spinfire Blaze features the V-Tech Turntable usually only found on professional machines. This advanced turntable allows you to mount and dismount the racquets faster using 4 knobs instead of 6. Furthermore, it provides self leveling and and 6 solid points of support on the frame.
The V-Tech Turntable gives you more room to move under the string bed, which serious stringers will appreciate. The turntable can easily be locked in place which is great for the Prince O3 range and various other racquets.
This machine is capable of stringing tennis, squash and badminton racquets, although it only comes with tennis clamps, so you need to either swap them for badminton/squash clamps (free) or purchase badminton/squash clamps as well (extra $100 while buying the machine).
The WISE Tension Head is easy to use and you can purchase an optional foot pedal to speed up your stringing time even further. Another option is to buy the diablo which protects the string from damage in the gripper and helps raise the string height to minimise friction on the frame.
Tools are provided and the Spinfire Blaze machine comes with a 5 year warranty (1 year on clamps and base clamps). The WISE Tension Head comes with a 2 year warranty.
Product Review
I ordered a stringing unit on Sunday. On Monday morning Wes offered further information about product attributes and purchase options. On the Wednesday - the parcel arrived, with all arranged extras included (separate tennis and squash clamps instead of hybrid clamps, manual crank as well as Wise unit).
Quality
When there's a small crack in the racquet frame, I'm reluctant to get it restrung at the courts, as it might break shortly thereafter. However, having the restringer means you can give it a go without putting too many dollars at stake.
I've only had the unit for about 2 weeks and we have so far restrung about 8 racquets. With a number of us in the family playing racquet sports, I'm sure the unit will provide a saving before too long. Also, my teenage boys love using it.
I'm very happy with the unit, and the service from Tennis Warehouse was great. (Posted on 22/04/10)
