Yes, the Hawk 26 can handle the badminton racquets. But you need to purchase 2 badminton floating clamps (PN-3050).
No, the machine base of the Hawk 26e is much larger than the Hawk 26. If you would like to upgrade, you need to purchase the machine base and the electronic tension head. They are very expensive parts.
Time Period | Silent Partner's FAQ#1 |
From 1999 to December 2000: During this period the Silent Partner just began to import and market the electric stringing machines. In order to promote the electric tensioners, the Silent Partner needed to degrade the drop weight stringing machines. |
1) What is a "drop weight" stringing machine? To achieve correct tension, the lever must come to rest in a perfectly horizontal position against the pull of the string. For a number of reasons, drop weight stringing machines are the least convenient and least accurate machines on the market. The most significant problem is that accurate tensioning is only achieved when the drop weight comes to rest in a perfectly horizontal position against the pull of the tensioned string. Deviations from the horizontal can create substantial deviations in tension (10 lb or 20 lb is not uncommon)... To help with these problems, some drop weight machines are equipped with a ratchet mechanism. Because the ratchet only works in one direction, the problem is only partially solved. All in all, drop weights are accurate in theory, but in practice they are not. The main advantage of drop weight machines is their low cost which is in the range of $100 and $400. |
