    :cool: Nice!! Now that looks like Ravens purple :p. Maybe I will be able to trade some Forza's for it but first have to see if I can get my hands on some, possibly some victor's as well. Communication is going slow zzzzzzzz

    The new Ultra will be closest to the 3U AT700.

    It's better if you buy from www.mjstrings.ca, in Canada, so you save on shipping.

    Wow, ~28.5lbs. is going to play tight. It's going to play like BG65 at 32lbs.

    I strung my Ultra with ZM62 at 27lbs. and it played like 30lbs.

    Really? I'll try it out and change it if tension is too high!
    I normally play with BG80 at 25(m) x 27.5(c). I assumed that I should string the Zymax62 2lb higher (like I do with the MP and ZM67). Am I wrong?

    Cheers

    ZM62 is completely different than MP. ZM62 plays very tight and holds tension very well. Use the same tension as you do with BG80. I think ZM62 might even play a bit tighter.

    Thank you. I'll remember that. I'll try it out and change if required :)

    I received both pand's this week from Mark.
    One Ultra stringed with Zymax 0,62 (35lbs) and one Trinity also with the Zymax 0,62 35lbs. Thanx to Mark (UK) excellent stringjob and service which he provide.

    I've played this weekend competition and both rackets feeling really confedent. I could generate a lot of power with the Ultra. No problem
    Although you need a strong wrist otherwise it doesn't work.

    As for the trinity a little less because its more balanced (85,1 / 285BP)
    But if you get used to it it plays really smooth.
    Very fast in action on mensdouble.
    Especially the sound when doing full smash is so amazing. thumps up for Panda's:D Can't wait for the 2gen ultra.

    0.62mm at 35lbs.?! :eek: I think ZM62 will snap at that tension during stringing.

    Also, ZM62 at 35 = BG65 at 40lbs.!

    Well I spoke to mark and he told me it was stringed at 30/33lbs which is a effective 36lbs my mistake.

    30/33 with ZM62, yes, that's like BG65 at 36lbs. :p

    That's going to be a stiff playing racket with awesome sound. :D

    Funny this should come up... I've had a couple of breakages during stringing over 30 lbs with the Zy 62, so I have now decided to limit any jobs with this string to 28 lbs (which will be equivalent to ECP with my over-tuned crank). Oldskool's will be the last at that mental 33 lbs;).
