I felt it is best to start out a separate thread for this pressure head motor which is meant to be accessible by the tip of March 2024. And in addition as a result of I am fairly assured that it’s going to obtain some consideration within the stringing neighborhood and it is a good place to collect person suggestions and opinions.

To start with, a giant shout out to @Tennisman Dirk for sending me this protoype unit to test it out intimately. It nonetheless reveals some minor bugs within the software program which I am instructed will probably be sorted out with the primary mass manufacturing batch, so I will not dive into this any additional.

Some details to start out this:
The Ennoxx is the second “non-WISE” era of pressure heads that Tennisman is providing with their StringMaster machines. The primary one (https://www.tennisman.de/Weiteres/B…Motor-A01-Motor-fuer-Besaitungsmaschinen.html) was manufactured in China whereas the Ennoxx is in-built Taiwan by Xpider. As some may know, Xpider can be the OEM for the StringMaster branded machines. It should change the first Gen heads utterly for all upcoming StringMaster shipments.

The Ennoxx will even be provided as an add-on unit to suit on drop weight and crank machines (which is a big improve in comparison with the A01. The prototype did not include the wanted mounting brackets, anybody keen on how the mounting ought to work, please take a look within the handbook:

Pricing is meant to remain the identical for each pressure heads (https://www.tennisman.de/Weiteres/B…or-Ennoxx-Motor-fuer-Besaitungsmaschinen.html).
For reference, the WISE is available in at round 200 EUR much less, however wants an additional mounting plate and does not have the glide-to-activate gripper module. For those who add each, the WISE arrives at round the very same pricing because the Ennoxx.

I have been utilizing the first gen Tennisman pressure head on my StringMaster Deluxe for a few yr now which places me within the place to match each. And since I’ve solely achieved one racket with the Ennoxx but, let’s simply begin by exhibiting you some footage (click on to enlarge):

As you’ll be able to see, the footprint of the Ennoxx is a bit greater. The general design appears to be like extra extra smooth, it has a much bigger show with a greater decision and extra distinction. Total constructed high quality simply seems to be barely higher on the Ennoxx.

Let’s take a look at the gripper modules intimately:

Each are very properly achieved and massiv af and include a glide-to-activate function. The plates on each transfer clean as silk. So I would not put one above the opposite tbh.

As quickly as you place the Ennoxx on the StringMaster, you instantly really feel the connection. They each are made for one another:

And let me finish this primary submit with a velocity comparability clip (each set to most velocity):

The A01 wins by a whisker (each have the identical gripper touring distance of ~13 cm). Each are operating easily with a really comparable noise stage – not a giant shock since each are chain pushed.

I’ll add additional info and possibly some extra video clips over the subsequent couple of days or even weeks. Keep tuned.
