Pro Stringer Platinum 3.0 Review by Tech in the Sun

By Gravor Tech ·

Tech in the Sun reviewed Platinum 3.0 for recreational players in 2024, with an unboxing, a full stringing demo and a ModuleX explainer.

Pro Stringer Platinum 3.0 machine and its black Pro Stringer branded carrying bag

Tech in the Sun reviewed Platinum 3.0 in August 2024 from the point of view of recreational tennis players who want to string their own racquets. The review explains the components, shows an unboxing and a complete stringing demonstration, and covers the ModuleX 2, 4 and 6-point mounting system.

Why the review is useful

It shows the steps between opening the travel bag and finishing a racquet, which a product photo cannot. Watch for where the machine sits, how the racquet is mounted and how the mains and crosses are clamped.

Keep the source context in view

Plan your first session

Choose the mounting configuration for your sport and racquet, then read the Platinum 3.0 guide. Have the racquet’s stringing pattern and recommended tension range ready. Allow time to learn the sequence instead of treating a demonstration’s speed as a target.

Platinum 3.0 is sold as separate tennis, badminton and squash models. If you string for more than one sport, look at CybeX, which covers all three with one machine.

ModuleX-2 or ModuleX-6: what’s the difference?

Choose the frame support that suits your setup. The mounting system is separate from the tensioning machine: select only a configuration offered for your product and sport.

Start with the support you need. The modular system allows compatible cross bars and supports to be added later. Changing from X6 to X2 requires the correct head support. Contact the team to confirm conversion parts.

ModuleX is compatible with CybeX and Platinum 3.0, not Platinum 1.0 or 2.0. For badminton and squash, ModuleX-6 is converted to a four-point configuration. Follow the guide for your racquet and use the required sport-specific clamps and adapters.
