The importer, Deuce Industries Ltd. in Canada (Silent Partner), claims that the red and gray color machines are as his own colors. Aside from Silent Partner machines, no other machine can use these colors. The Silent Partner also claims that any other machines coated with red and gray colors are fake and imitated. Let us check how many machines are in red and gray colors. In 1984 Winn Inc. imported the Winn Pro stringing machine (two color options: blue and gray, or red and gray). In February 1985 Maxline imported and displayed EAG-700 stringing machine in New York trade show. The EAG-700 has two color options: blue and gray, or red and gray. In 1985 Gamma Sports imported the red and gray 4000 stringing machine. In 1988 Maxline imported the red and gray EAG-960A stringing machine. In 2000 Deuce Industries Ltd. in Canada imported the red and gray DG stringing machine. Actually the stringing machine factory has the typical colors for all the machines. The typical colors are black, navy blue, blue, gray, purple, red, yellow and white. The gray color is the typical color for turntable and tool tray. If the importer does not specify the colors, the factory will ship the machines with the typical colors. The factory will print the importer's trademark and/or logo on the base for portable and table-top machine, on the column and the cover of the crank tension head. Currently Maxline has the following red stringing machines on the market: Eagnas DEN-3600, Eagnas 10, Hawk 20, Hawk 40, Hawk 880, Hyper 320, Hyper 480, Neon 21, Neon CX, Neon CX21 and Neon CXS.
| Time Period | Silent Partner's FAQ#2 |
| From 1999 to December 2000: During this period the Silent Partner just began to import and market the electric stringing machines. The Silent Partner emphasized these type of tensioners were very popular in the past. It implied that the electric tensioners were popular at that time. |
2) What is a "spring and brake" stringing machine? A machine with a spring and brake tensioner relies on a hand operated crank to pull the string. A spring deflects against the tension being applied to the string. When the pre-selected tension is reached, a lever is tripped stopping the tensioning operation, and a brake is engaged to hold the tension in the string. When properly calibrated, spring and brake tensioners are usually very accurate and they have been very popular in the past. Spring tensioners are a definite improvement over drop weights and they usually cost a fair bit more. Stringing machines with these spring and brake tensioners cost in the range of about $400 to $1,000. |
| From January 2001 to December 2001: In order to futher promote the electric tensioners, the Silent Partner needed to further degrade these type of tensioners. |
2) What is a "spring and brake" stringing machine? A machine with a spring and brake tensioner relies on a hand operated crank to pull the string. A spring deflects against the tension being applied to the string. When the pre-selected tension is reached, a lever is tripped stopping the tensioning operation, and a brake is engaged to hold the tension in the string (for this reason, these machines are also known as "lockout" machines). When properly calibrated, spring and brake tensioners are accurate although variations in the speed with which the operator turns the crank cause variations in the final tension of the string. Spring tensioners are an improvement over drop weights and they usually cost a fair bit more. |
| From January 2002 to Present: The Silent Partner began to import and market the "spring and brake" stringing machines. The Silent Partner needs to promote these type of tensioners. |
2) What is a "spring and brake" stringing machine? A machine with a spring and brake tensioner relies on a hand operated crank to pull the string. A spring deflects against the tension being applied to the string. When the pre-selected tension is reached, a lever is tripped stopping the tensioning operation, and a brake is engaged to hold the tension in the string (for this reason, these machines are also known as "lockout" or "instant off" machines). When properly calibrated, spring and brake tensioners are very accurate and allow fast stringing, which is why they are extremely popular in pro shops. Because these machines "lockout" as soon as they reach the reference tension, professional stringers usually set the tension about 10% higher than they do with "constant pull" machines (see FAQ 11 for an explanation of the difference between instant off and constant pull machines). |
In 1997 the stringing machine factory (Lily-Lee & Co., Ltd.), developed a new 6-point suspension mounting system. Then there are two series machines with this mounting system that were introduced into the market, the Neon and the Hyper series. The Neon series machines are electronic machines, such as Neon 21, Neon CX, Neon CX21, Neon CXS and King 3115H. The Hyper series machines are drop-weight and manual crank machines, such as Hyper 50, Hyper 100 and Hyper 500. Basically, the Hyper series machines are made for the European market. In September 2000 the XP series machines were introduced to the market, such as XP-45, XP-46, XP-600, XP-601, XP-650, XP-651, XP-8200S, XP-8201S, XP-8600S and XP-8600T. The XP series machines are designed for the Japanese and south Asian markets. In October 2001 the Hyper 480 was introduced to the market. The Hyper 480 is identical to the XP-650 except the colors. The XP-650 has the gray and light yellow colors; the Hyper 480 has the red and gray colors.

In 1999 Deuce Industries Ltd. in Canada began to import the stringing machines from the factory (Lily-Lee & Co., Ltd). The Silent Partner imported the base, mounting system, clamps, accessories, and shipping box of the Eagnas Hawk 20 stringing machine from the same factory. Then by attaching an electric tension head, an e.stringer machine is created. See the e.stringer clone history.
In May 2000 an ex-employee of the stringing machine factory (Lily-Lee & Co., Ltd.) began to copy Eagnas Hawk and Hyper series machines. Later on Silent Partner imports stringing machines from this startup company (Xpider Co.).

The answer is Eagnas Hawk 800 strining machine. Since 1997 he uses the Eagnas Hawk 800 to learn and to string his and his son's racquets. Even in 1999 he imported the stringing machines from this stringing machine factory (Lily-Lee & Co., Ltd.). But on the Silent Partner FAQ#5 mentions: One supplier of low cost stringing machines has acquired a very bad reputation for poor quality and customer service, and it is wise for customers to limit their shopping to reputable brands. In October 1997 he purchased the Eagnas Hawk 800 stringing machine described as poor quality and customer service. But two years later strange enough was he even importing those so-called poor quality stringing machines and marketing to the public. It is very ironic. What certifies his critic as a valid statement. See how he gets the stringing knowledge from Eagnas Hawk 800 stringing machine as follows.

I have seen your ad in TENNIS as well as your web page. I am looking to buy a stringer for my 10-year old son and the Hawk 800 looks interesting. Can you snd me more information about the stringer as well as about your company (your location and other products you may carry). |
| September 28, 1997 |
I am interested in buying an upright stringer that I and my 11 year-old son can use. I have looked at your FAQ information and all your models. The Hawk 800 looks like a great deal, but I would like to know what more I will get if I spend more for one of your more expensive non-electronic models. I have to assume that I would be paying more for something.
Your literature does not make clear what that would be. |
| September 29, 1997 Silent Partner uses this information as FAQ#16. |
The more expensive models, such as EAG-90 II and STAR J312, have the heavy-duty string clamps and the spring-action swivel clamp base. |
