    Dear all,

    Soon, I will be receiving RKEP NS68 from Eric, squash mart. I would like to enquire if anyone has tried to use this string for their game play? As mentioned in other threads, I have been using Bg80 string. How is it compared to Bg80?

    Thanks!

    Eric just replied my query on the string. According to him, it will be a new model that will be launch soon at his Ebay store.

    The NS66 is a slippery string and if the NS68 is similar, then NBG98 would be closer to it than BG80.

    Oh, ic ic. Actually I am fond of strings with rough texture. I am still thinking if I should string NS68 then.

    "Blue" string is actually purple! Very slippery surface like ns66, it's actually a 0.69 and I assumed it was 0.68.

    Don't know why the RKEP strings are so slippery. I've not tried the NS68 but I don't like the NS66. Not as powerful as it should be and it's way too slippery for my control-oriented game. The Ti-70 is ok, but I only use them for budget restringings.
