That is the whole idea. We build portable stringing machines precise enough for the pros and tough enough to last for years, so the feel you trust travels with you, your body takes less punishment season after season, and the game stays open to anyone, anywhere.
How it started
A $17,000 problem, a stranger in Korea, and a machine that didn't exist yet.
Across 21 years as a professional, representing New Zealand in the Davis Cup a record 33 times, founder Rubin Statham lived with a failure hiding in plain sight inside every locker room. In their first year on tour, he and his twin brother Oliver spent over $17,000 on restringing alone, and still couldn't trust the racquet they walked onto court with.
Different machines in different cities. Different technicians, different techniques. Tension that read 52 lb on paper but played like 45. The uncertainty didn't just cost money. It cost confidence, and in professional tennis, confidence is everything.
So between matches, Rubin sketched a machine that didn't exist. He found the engineer to build it in the unlikeliest of places, a lone fan quietly following him between tournaments in Korea. Fourteen years, three Platinum generations and seven years of parallel R&D later, that idea became the CybeX: a stringing machine small enough for a carry on that outperforms the 65 kg (143 lb), $10,000 machines used at the Grand Slams.
