    Well the Bg65Ti is pretty durable already, but not as rough or hard in feeling as the Bg80. Has MUCH better feel and repulsion than the standard Bg65 though. Probably the best string if you dont want to spend a lot on stringing, if youre a very clean hitter and/or money isnt such an issue I'd go with the Bg80 for increased feel, control and power.

    Well, then it depends on your power and purse ;) Try the Bg80, and if it breaks too fast for you get the 65Ti next time with 1 lbs more.

    Im have a lot of power, I probably dont hit always in the right spot with the racket ^^

    One more thing, more tension = more power? = racket lasts less?

    Not hitting in the write spot consistently could cause you a few broken strings..

    by the way guys, someone can tell me if the light fighter 7400 is really different from light fighter 7300, and why ? Im saying that because 'now' I dont have money for the 7400 so I will wait one more week or two... But I have for 7300.

    I try to search but I dont found nothing specific, so what better topic than the Victor Fans? :p

    Ive been tempted to buy BS11 as the measurement in directbadminton is head-heavier and more flexible than lyd. I have lyd and eventhough i like it so much for playing doubles, i have to say that its a bit too stiff for me. Would bs11 suits me more?

    The BS11 would be a good choice. The MX60 is very similar in some ways too, except it has a stiffer head so it feels 'tighter', but itsn't quite as quick.

    Remember though that total weigh has an effect on how a racket swings, too. For example, I can use stiffer rackets as long as they're lighter than flexier ones.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I noticed the materials of lyd and bs11 are different. Would the materials affect the feel or can i just trust the numbers?

    I'd be more concerned with getting one that's the same weight as your LYD. I know with RKEP Eric in Taiwan you can ask for an exact weight and he'll ship you a racket at that weight, but I'm not sure a big chain like directsports can/will do that for you.

    However they do state 91g strung, so if that suits then I'd say it's all good.

    Hi, when using the search function I couldn't find anything on the mx2600e or the mx7000. What i'm looking for is, are the rackets still in production I have not seen any in any stores.

    You guys worry too much about matching colours... :p

    Just stick with white of any string. It's the best one for feel and power.

    I do care about the looks of my rackets :D but i guess ill have to sacrifice that for feel lol

    Honestly I don't think it isn't fair to match a string like vs850 with a racket as numb as the stuff that comes from Yonex like the Z Force.

    I've used both white and yellow vs850 with victor rackets and the unique lively victor feel that they are so famous for does the string credit. But of course the general opinion of VS850 is that it loses feel quickly especially at lower tensions.

    Of course this being my go to string I have tried it with various yonex rackets I've bought to try over the years and I can only say this. It does feel like crap especially so on the voltric line for me.

    Alright you guys make a lot of sense. I think voltrics are meant to have thinner strings because zm65 and 66um feels fine on my z forces. Going more than 29 lbs on a 4U zf is a no no LOL id rather use a different, thinner strings. Thanks for the suggestions though. I might do vs850 29x31 on my mx80 as soon as the string breaks and I'll report if it's better or not.
