Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for stringing a racket. In an embodiment, a system for stringing a racket includes a support structure, a mounting device, actuators, links, and a controller. Each actuator includes a selectively movable arm movable between a retracted position and an extended position. Each link is coupled to a different arm and configured to couple to a string on the racket. The controller is configured to coordinate movement of each arm between the retracted position and the extended position in a predetermined sequence. Movement of each arm in the predetermined sequence is effective to tighten the racket string on the head of racket when the racket string is woven across a head of the racket such and each link is coupled to a different portion of the racket string between two adjacent grommet holes on the head of the racket.
