I play religiously with BG66; however I recently tried out a more durable string in the BG70pro.
I only string my racquets at roughly 25lbs with the BG66, when I moved up to a higher tension on my BG70 racquet (all cab22), the strings did not sound as tight, nor did they feel as tight.
My stringer is one of the most consistent stringers around, and knows his stuff as he has strung racquets for well over 30 years!
Now my question is, does the string gauge, affect the tension/feel of the tension at all? as my BG66, still feel tighter than the BG70 do, even though the BG70 are at a higher tension.
by the way, mostly feather shuttle players use BG66, and it is not recommended for people playing with plastic shuttles.
The BG70pro, has been said by many of my peers to be best for nylon shuttle play, so I decided to put some on, as they are supposedly the most durable of all strings.
I'm going to take some more time to test out the actual string, but I would like some opinions from others who have experience with both these strings; as this baffles me as to why the string would not feel nor sound as tight as the other racquet.
