Racket stringing apparatus with cross string aid

A stringing apparatus for a racket, comprising:

• a common platform base;
• a movable racket mounting system disposed on the common platform base;
• a linkage mechanism disposed between the racket mounting system and the common platform base;
• a tensioning head disposed on one side of the movable racket mounting system;
• and
• a standing fixed clamp disposed on another side of the movable racket mounting system, wherein the movable racket mounting system includes a plurality of rolling balls or wheels.

• a common platform base;
• a movable racket mounting system disposed on the common platform base;
• a linkage mechanism disposed between the racket mounting system and the common platform base;
• a tensioning head disposed on one side of the movable racket mounting system;
• and
• a standing fixed clamp disposed on another side of the movable racket mounting system, wherein the standing fixed clamp is disposed on the common platform base and configured to secure a string of a racket on a side of the movable racket mounting adjacent the standing fixed clamp, and the tensioning head is disposed on the common platform base and configured to hold the string of the racket on a side of the movable racket mounting system adjacent the tensioning head and to apply tension to the string.
