i’ve used neos machines off and on for 25-30 years...and have actually retrofit even older machines from other brands to use the prince (formerly ektelon) clamps that come with this unit. like other great products, think rolex submariner watches, stratocaster guitars, chris king headsets for bicycles, the neos design is one that has worked wonderfully for decades and continue to be a top pick. it makes sense, too. stringing a racquet is a manual, mechanical process. therefore, a robust, mechanical design is most appropriate. one should not expect much tech/ innovation to change the game of stringing:) specific things that i like about this machine vs. other designs: - machine stays in spec all day (not all electronic machines do) and from day to day over long periods of time - if calibration adjustments are needed, it’s simple and intuitive - the clamp and rail system is extremely robust - one gets very consistent outcomes from racquet to racquet - the system is silent...no whirring motors or beeps - it’s fast...once one learns to keep the lead end of string in their hand at all times, you can knock out racquets faster with this machine than anything else - lots of ergonomic flexibility...you can get the string bed and tray exactly where it works best for you - value...this is not too expensive to justify for home use (which is where i use mine) - easy to find maintenance parts, if even necessary...this is arguably the most popular pro machine out there (ignoring diy stuff like klipstringer (sp?)j...so it should run forever - clamps (the highest wear component) can be rebuild...they’ll do thousands of racquets in their lifetime

the prince neos is easy to set up a variety of rackets and easy to use in general. i use the tecnifibre stringing machine at a local sports store and it cost well over $5000 dollars. it is fully electronic and easy to use and yet my prince neos which i use at home is every bit as quick and easy to use. i recommend this stringing machine for serious stringers that do not want to spend a pile of money.
