Drop weight machines are a type of tennis racquet machine that uses tensioning systems.This tennis racquet machine relies on the forces of gravity to apply the tension. It has a pivoting graduated bar on which a sliding weight runs, the higher up the bar the weight is positioned the higher the pulling forces and therefore the tension.
The string is clamped to the lower end of the pivoting bar on the tennis racquet stringing machine, and the bar and weight allowed to swing downwards to apply tension.
It is important that the bar hangs within 3 deg either side of the horizontal, or the pulling tension will not be accurate. This type of tennis racquet stringing machine is usually sold with flying clamps and has minimal frame support.
The disadvantage of this tennis racquet stringing machine is that it's slow to use and can be notoriously inaccurate.
These tennis racquet stringing machines are aimed at people who want to get started in stringing, but in true fact, a good level of experience and knowledge is required to obtain any degree of accuracy and consistency.
Usualy light in weight, these tennis racquet stringing machines lack stability and rigitdity. Recently, some drop weight machines have been produced with 6 point mounting and dual 360 deg rotational clamping systems. This makes the accuracy and frame mounting much more reliable, and therfore, a more attractive proposition for the occasional tennis racquet stringer.
