In September 2025 Tennisnerd’s Jonas Eriksson published an interview with Rubin Statham, the former ATP player who founded Pro Stringer. It follows the company from a practical problem on tour to the current machines.
From a touring problem to a prototype
Tennisnerd describes the starting point plainly: restringing on the road was expensive and inconsistent, and a conventional machine was too big to travel with. A chance meeting with an electronics engineer in Korea led to the first prototype. It began as a way to cut costs and gain control; requests from other players turned it into a business.
What the interview covers
- The Platinum generations, from the first 2 kg machine to Platinum 3.0.
- Accessories developed alongside the machines, such as Claws clamps and ModuleX mounting.
- CybeX, the touchscreen machine Tennisnerd describes as the “vision, executed”.

Apply it to your own setup
Start with your routine: where you will string, which racquets and sports you string for, and how often you travel. Pro Stringer’s current range starts with CybeX, a digital machine that strings tennis, badminton and squash racquets, and Platinum 3.0, which is sold as sport-specific models. Then compare ModuleX mounting options for your frames.
Keep a record of the string, gauge, reference tension and date for each job. It gives you a baseline when you change equipment or one part of your setup.
