now my gold BG 66 lasts only a month at 27 lbs....... im going bankrupt... may switch to another string.....

any recommendation for the replacement.... i want string with similar feel as bg 66, more durable, and price friendly

My string never breaks until I cut them. Lousy player I guess...

**!¿Clue?!** · 11-13-2009, 06:14 PM

My BG-65 finally broke near the top of the frame when warming up. So that lasted almost to this day, exactly 1 year. Talk about durability lol.

we've only got to yy BG65, BG65 Ti, BG 66, BG80 ,BG 6, and Ashaway MP(supposed to be .66mm) around here...for me
BG 65 ->6-8 months.
BG 65Ti ->7 months(only used once, too slippery 4 me!).
BG 80 -> never used it..
BG 66 ->2 months (except for once , it broke rite after stringing

).
BG 6 ->3 months(like this string very much. I get it for <2$, since shop owner has loads of them left behind, no 1 except me buys them here

.here in BC also i seldom see BG 6 even mentioned

...
Ashaway MP-> seriously i don't think this string is .66 mm. Well lasted for 5 months for me....

Reading thru all of this , it seems pretty obvious we need better string. Almost anything reasonably thin and taken above 25 pounds or so seems to have such a short lifespan its bordering on ridiculous.

Or could it be that string makers don't want to make a string that lasts, more money in selling lots of breakable string than selling fewer unbreakable ones?
