one of my MP88 had its BG70 pro strung @ 24lbs and is still in there after 2 years lolz (play with it 2-3hrs per week)

my other MP88 had its BG80 strung @ 24lbs and broke after 3 months. (played the same amount of hrs per week), now currently a BG75Ti on it

FOREVER T.T... (dont play that competive most of the time thou)

sometimes i break em for fun tho xD

Will hopefully break faster at 24lbs. I hate loose strings...
BG65 mostly lasts me for 8 months or so.

[smash_master]

lol i dont know man i dont think i hit super hard or anything...well thats just me but yeah the string isnt breaking around the side of the racquet (which is usually caused by shanking) it will break right in the sweet spot so yeah legit break and all.

BG25 ah hum we dont get that string here but i would just have to order some from somewhere, whats the thickness? 22lbs na i dont like playing with anything lower than 24lbs thats why i string higher at 26lbs for good feel with playing.

[Konstantine]

it's quite expensive here in germany to restring (20eur) and my tension isnt very high (25lbs, play 8hrs/week) so normally i restring once every 5 months.

[Alaric]

hehehe. i don't really recall breaking my strings. ever.

i play about 4x a week, 3hours per session. 24lbs tension.

I am the same, for the last year I haved played about 4 times a week, usually only for 2 hours per session. Before that I played for about six years just once a week. I have my tension at at 25lbs and have never broken a string!

I guess that we must both always hit the sweetspot!

err.... how many games per 2 sessions? single player games? or double?

BG66 feels nice. but need to restring on avg 2-3mths, sometimes even shorter. but i'm trying out .70mm strings to save some money

[baddictx]

On the average I only play about 3-4hours 2 times a week and I haven't broken a string yet. =p

[azn_123]
