You all better go to try toalson strings. The strings is make in Japan also. I already change to use Devil 66, very good repulsion & durable.
Yonex strings...EXPENSIVE!!! Eversince I started playing again last year after over 5 yrs I already noticed that Yonex strings are very expensive compared to their competitors. So I looked around and found some decent stringS frm Victor, Gosen, Toalson n Ashaway. Each manufacturer has 1-2 decent strings and they are priced at the most is 80% of yonex counterparts. This is business n marketing and most of you guys have lots of dough to spend, go ahead n spend it . For me personally, the performance differences between Yonex n its competitors are not worth the price premiums. In fact, some Gosen old strings are only 1/2 price (in my market, but it is hard to find) frm BG66 n the performance difference is negligible, at least for me. Moreover, they were direct competitors in early 2000, before BG66 became very popular. In fact, the string technologies have not progressed much in the past 10 years. Victor is also doing the same thing (raising prices) early this year in Indonesia so I am also not using Victor anymore.
YY increased string price by 17% at the start of the year, that's why there has been an increase, just switch strings to Victor or Ashaway
wth, bg 66 for rm 45?? the ae ltd which have a better quality priced at rm35 which is cheaper than the standard bg 66? this is total ridiculous... i almost fall of my chair when i saw bg 80 power for rm 50??? wonder where is the shop located, Kelantan?
I just had my Arc ZSTH stringed last week with Gosen Pro 66 for RM30. Seems like it's not that cheap either compared to Yonex.
Gosen Pro66 is selling for 12RM retail, w/o labor cost. BG66 is going for about 20RM. It is not fair to compare labor cost between different countries.
I've just looked into getting another reel of BG80, in November a reel cost £60, price has since gone up and is now ~£80...ouch. Fortunately I'd bought some 10m Zymax packs to try, hopefully I'll find something I like as a 200m reel of that stuff goes for around £55
In West Malaysia, i at PJ/KL, i string my racket few days ago and still the old price.. BG66 - RM24 BG 66UM - RM30 BG 80P - RM35
Haaha, i just came from traveling, found a shop selling bg66 for RM25, i offer him RM20 and take 5pack, he said ok,so i straight buy ..yesterday already order 200m reel zymax65 from UK, after calculate one racket about RM15+labour charge RM5 total is RM20 ,still ar cheaper for a year
