    More specifically, 68-Ti, 75-Ti and 88-Ti. Have not included BG 65-Ti cos it compares less favourably.

    First, here are the ratings from yonex.co.jp:

    BG 88-Ti

    * from the top going clockwise: Power, Sound, Absorbtion, Control, Durability*


    Which one do you prefer and why?

    65Ti is less favorable??? At least not here. The two most popular strings that ppl ask for are BG65 and BG65Ti, more or less due to their superior durability and relatively cheaper price.

    Personally, I feel like 65Ti has little bit more power and crispy feeling than 65.

    Ok, how about let's not consider price...

    Have you tried out the new Ti strings?

    And is badminton as big as basketball in NYC?

    from the looks of it, 68ti seems to be the all around best string out of the 3. personally, i like the 68ti over the 65ti, much better feel. havent seen any 75ti or 88ti around, otherwise i'd try them.

    well, u should try bg 66, 80,85, 88, 75, 65P, 70, CyberN100 before u say 68 is all around best.

    i did say from the looks of it. meaning the 3 pictures iluvthesun attached. i've tried 85, broke that in 2 minutes. dont like the feel of 65 and it didnt seem to have power, 65ti has the power but the lack of feel. 70pro good durability/power/feel. 68ti felt better and had a bit more power than the 70.

    i havent seen any 80, 88, or 75 around (badminton alley) and cybernatural 100 is out of my price range.

    now i use all gosen strings because their top of the line is about the same price as the bg-65 and last fairly well.

    What kind of Gosen strings are you using now? What tension? I had my At700 strung with Gosen pro66 at 28lbs. Very good feel and power.

    i use bio roots and aermet 310 both usually strung at 22x24 on a Gosen WPP 5300. right now i'm using the bio roots, slightly a bit more control than the aermet.

    thanks cooler, i'll take a look at the reviews.

    1. I tried 68TI and 65Ti, both seems give good power, but a little bit slippery in control. Also the feeling is "hard" compare to other strings' "softness".

    2. NYC is a "hoops" town, so, u know...
