    Depends on these factors:

    • String tension
    • Shuttles (feather or plastics)
    • Climate
    • How often you mishit
    • How often do you train/play
    • Is it your main/only racket or do you switch between a bunch
    • etc.

    An aggressive style don't mean automatically to be a power house. I guess from 2 weeks to 6 month is everything possible. Make your own experiences then you will know. Everything else is a shot into the dark and won't help you.

    At 29/31 it's pretty normal to change/break strings on a few weeks basis.

    If you mis hit alot, i dont recommend getting BG 80s. It only takes one hard mis hit to break them. If you want tohave strings that last a long time, just stick with BG65

    Advanced Level players can break strings anywhere from 1 game to a few months. Theres too many factors that attribute to the durability of strings.

    Although i prefer bg80p to bg80, neither of them last more than 2~3 two hour sessions when strung at 30/28.

    So you mean 28 main and 30 cross. The normal convention is to state the main tension first, as the mains are normally (always?) strung first.
