How long do your strings last?

**Nightbird** · 02-12-2010, 09:37 AM

Head Super Power 69-approx. 40 doubles games.
Zymax 67-1 game. It was perhaps a mishit but will try again.

Next up is Ashaway Micro Legend(.69 mm)

Update: Ashaway ML lasted 4 games before it snapped too

..I just strung my AMP 95 with BG 70 pro @25X27 lbs..
I guess I'll hv to stick with more durable strings now..But I'm glad I own a stringing machine..

I broke mine after 2 hrs

**Tornoni** · 03-14-2010, 10:43 AM

I broke mine in less than 3 hours play.

BG66 at 26x26lbs.

On the other hand, BG80 and nanogy98 will last for a few months.

one of pro stringer I met told me that if it takes so long to break your string, there are only two reasons:

1. as you said. :P.
2. you always hit the shuttercock at the right spot.

Same here, broke my strings within 3 hours in a tournament.
Before that I broke my strings within 2 weeks or approx. 10 hours.
I have decided to alternate between rackets so I use the newly strung for practice and the other for games so I can increase the mileage a bit.

bg65 on my ns9000 for 4 years at 19lb now and 2 years on the bg70pro with arc10 at 22lb. still plays great. both of them.

**nz2010** · 04-28-2010, 07:11 AM

BG65Ti last around 3-4 months
NBG95 last around 2.5-3 months
BG80 last around 2-2.5 months
BG85 last around 2 months

All strung at around 24-25 lbs, and on average around 6-7hrs per week.

**Terraglow** · 04-28-2010, 07:31 AM

now my string last more than 2 months after i switched to BG 65....... but BG 66 still the best for me...

**erictung** · 04-28-2010, 11:08 AM

I don't know if I'm really bad or what, because BG 65 at 21 lbs lasted me 2 years. I play 2-7 hours per week. I thought mishits are suppoesed to break strings easier.

It's hard to break strings at low tension. Plus it will be even lower then 21lbs after 2 years. Dramatically lower

yep, it would probaly be around 16-17lbs by the time you broke it

**wiwi86** · 07-06-2010, 11:05 PM

used to use BG-66 but after it broke twice on me. they were newly strung at 26lbs and only 1hour of play each

then i switched to BG-80 and still using it after mths of playing. but can see that it is going to break soon as frills are forming at different intersection of the string

**smashwide** · 07-15-2010, 04:18 AM

Yo, any advise if my BG66 string 26 tension can last for 6 months...
the string does not snap should I cut the string and replace with new
string?
The tension dropped but still can play more than 6 months...
