In 1974 Dr. Harry Ferrari lost a tennis match due to inferior synthetic gut strings. Ferrari, a nuclear engineer and avid tennis player, became determined to develop a better tennis string. Dr. Ferrari’s experiments radically improved the strings’ performance, and ultimately led to the creation of the patented GAMMA irradiation process. With that, GAMMA Gut was born, a string technology that provided players with greater power, feel and control.

The buttons have a super heavy duty feel & action and you can tell the build quality is very high. It's heavy and fairly large, so you either need a good table that ideally isn't much wider than the machine, or one of the stands. Mine is on a small table elevated by 2x4s, which are on thin non-slip pads, and I put velcro tape on the wood and the bottom of the machine's feet so it won't move like some tabletop machines will if you pull a cross too hard. Combined with its weight, this gives a ton of stability. If you're thinking you'll move it around, take it out and put it away every time you need to string, you should reconsider. I did that with the 602 and thought I maybe could with this, and because of its weight and size that's out of the question - you'll want to have a pretty much permanent place for it ready before you buy.
One downside I could see at least for some people is the rotational gripper. The string goes about 3/4 around a wheel and then through a channel in the middle of it before tensioning. Since I was used to it from my previous machine, it's not a problem but if you're really trying for speed or are used to other string gripping mechanisms, it might seem like an extra motion. In the end it's really a minor thing, many other of Gamma's machines have it and with repetition it becomes easier to use. Also the, I guess "audible feedback" is pretty bold, and as far as I know you can't turn it off. It beeps once when you pull tension and then twice after the tension is reached (indicating you can take the clamp off etc.) Search around for videos if you want to see/hear it in action and decide how much of a problem that would be.
Overall if you think you're in need of a stringer and fortunate enough to be able to possibly afford one in this price range, this machine is really worth looking into.
Gamma told me there is no difference between this and the x models, they only wanted to change the looks and add small drawers on the bigger models, so they came out with the X line, build and functionality its the same.
Stringing learning curve is not too bad, the first one will take you some time, after that is just a simple process. It comes with tools and 3 Gamma Strings included (mine did). Quick to setup, small footprint.
This one is totally worth it even if you are a club player.
