Claim:
A device for stringing a gut for a racket including a plurality of gut holes formed along a ring-shaped frame, comprising: a clamping mechanism for clamping at least one position of said ring-shaped frame of the racket, an arm attached to the clamping mechanism, said arm connected to a shaft pivotally disposed at a position approximately at the center of said ring-shaped frame, said clamping mechanism configured to pivot around a position approximately at the center of said ring-shaped frame; a tension head for holding a part of the gut loosely pre-tensed through a gut hole, said tension head applying tension to said gut; wherein: said racket is disposed above said arm and attached to said clamping mechanism; said tension head is disposed at an outer perimeter section of said ring-shaped frame such that said tension head is adapted to slidably abut or move away from an outer edge of said ring-shaped frame; when tension is applied to said gut, said tension head abuts said outer edge of said ring-shaped frame, and said tension head further supports at least one section of said ring-shaped frame by means of an applied tension.
