    As above, ive just recently opted for the bg85 (first time).. not used it yet, but the diameter is the same. Was curious whether anyone with a better experience could let me know

    thanks in advance

    If old zm67, then bg65 @ 2 lbs higher after prestretch (because bg65 is notorious for losing 10%). If new zm67, perhaps bg80 @ 1 lb less.

    thanks for the reply. question though.. even with the thicker diameter, would you still relate bg65 characteristics closest to the zymax 67 (old)? do you have any experience with the bg 85? i have it strung on my racket atm and still not on court yet. thanks in advance

    had a hit the other day, and thought id let people interested that the 85 is, to me, an improved bg80.
    love it :)
