I bought this for a Christmas present for my boys who are playing high school tennis. The boys are thrilled with the machine though it does take a while to learn how to string racquets from the on line video. They are motivated to learn and are very pleased with their first job! This is the second large purchase from Holabird sports and I am very impressed with their quality and service!

I am a beginner at stringing process and this is a very good starter machine. Not complicated.

This in my opinion is maybe the "best bang for the buck" 6 point stringer on the market, I used a 2 point for many years before finally upgrading. I considered getting the FC model but I've always used flying clamps and like them, plus the extra cost of the FC helped me chose the 602. Even the tools provided are decent. (I especially like the pathfinder awl! , makes my job a lot easier) If I have any complaint about it, I don't really like the design of the string gripper, for some reason its hard to hold it while tightening the string maybe it needs some rubber or tape on it but all in all I love my new stringer and expect it to last me many many years. (my last stringer lasted me 18 years and was still going strong when I sold it and I probably string about 20 racquets a year)

Use for family and friends.
