What customers say
I’ve been coaching for over 15 years, and we string dozens of rackets every week. We recently added the GLS-16406 to our stringing room, and I have to say — I’m impressed. The machine feels rock solid thanks to the 45# steel chassis, and the six-point mounting really keeps the racket stable, even under high tension.
What surprised me the most was how smooth the hand crank feels — no jerkiness, just controlled, consistent pull. Our junior players often need restringing between tournaments, and this tennis racket stringing machine makes it easy to keep up without burning out our budget. It’s not flashy, but it performs where it matters.
I run a mid-sized tennis gear shop, and racket stringing is a core part of our services. I didn’t want to spend $3,000 on a big-name machine, so I gave the GLS-16406 a try after hearing from a supplier. It arrived well-packaged in a compact box, and I had it fully assembled in under 40 minutes.
The tension accuracy is surprisingly good for a hand crank system. I’ve strung Babolat, Yonex, and Wilson rackets on it, and every customer has been happy with the results. What I really appreciate is the brake function — it gives you full control when aligning the racket. And unlike some cheaper models, the clamps grip tight without scuffing the frame. This tennis stringing machine has paid for itself in just a couple of months.
As a stringing technician covering regional tournaments in Southeast Asia, I need equipment that’s not only dependable but also mobile. The GLS-16406 ticked all the boxes. It splits into parts for easy transport, and the total weight is manageable even when flying between countries.
During a recent junior tournament in Penang, I strung over 30 rackets in two days — no tension drop, no loose clamps. The tennis racket stringer holds up under pressure, literally. The scale is easy to read, and tension adjustment is responsive. I especially like the five-teeth clamp — it gives me confidence the string won’t slip mid-process. Whether you’re a club technician or a mobile stringer like me, this machine punches way above its price point.

GLS 16406 tennis stringing machine
I’ve been using the GLS-16406 tennis stringing machine for about two months now, and it’s been a solid addition to our school’s tennis program. The 6-point mounting system keeps the racket stable, and the tension adjustment is pretty accurate for a manual machine. It’s not as fast as an automatic one, but for the price, the performance is excellent. Definitely worth it for small clubs or personal use.
