Racquet Mounting

Q: I have a Gamma Progression ST II stringer, and I have upgraded from the standard Gamma quick-mount system to their top-of-the-line suspension-mount system, where one knob moves two shoulder-support arms at the same time. When I mount a racquet, the shoulder-support arms do not contact the frame at the same time. When the first one contacts the frame, the other one is still 1/8 inch away. By the time each arm is in contact with the frame, the racquet is pushed to one side. I have tried mounting different racquets, and I always get that same result. Is this something I should worry about?

A: There are two things you can do before contacting Gamma. First, check that the centerline of the tower is aligned with the centerline of the table (that is, not twisted 1/16 inch to one side). If the tower is aligned properly, check that the shoulder support assembly is also properly aligned with the tower.
