Cooler, I got a new idea!

(Not necessary a good idea

)

Perhaps we can use a machine with two ends, and we can tide a string in between two ends. Like:

O-------------O**

** is like a handle

Then, can you measure the max tension the string can stand before breakage??
It would be nice to run this test on all current strings, so we know the general idea of the max. tension.
I know there are tons of factors will affect the performance, but at least, you live in Canada, which already has severe weather with snows, so it could be the worst condition for the strings already (

). The results should be a very good reference though

difference in frequency of changing car, racket, strings, tires, grips, rims, etc does not alter the validity of the comparion of these two models.

steering wheel/ratio = G2 to G5
leather, foam over grips = handle overgrips

there are overgrips for steering wheels u know

knowing the max tension doesn't say much about the string performance

Same way as top speed of a car has no bearing on its many other performance parameters.

I am not sure why, but sometimes, TW stores don't have BG80 in stock. (In fact, it's pretty frenquenly). However, BG85 is always in stock.

They have the same price in TW.....so I am guess perhaps BG80 has less production??

Or maybe Bg80 is just more popular and everyone wanna grab them?

I am not sure, but I know a couple of the stores don't even have BG80 in the inventory (They said they never has it before, all they have are BG65, 66, 65TI, 68TI, 70 Pro, and 85)

Very weird......Since they are the same price, I am not sure which one is more popular. Performance wise, BG80 lasts a little longer, where BG85 has more feels and sound.
