Abstract
The invention is a machine for stringing rackets. The invention comprises a stringing machine utilizing a sliding spring within the pulling mechanism to allow for customized tension application. A user changes the tension in the stringing machine system by moving the slidable spring along the length of a tension transfer bar. The invention may optionally provide for a means for automatically locking the rotation of the mounting plate during the stringing process. The invention may optionally provide for a self-locking string clamp to be used on the machine for stringing rackets.
