    Many Brands have it. I think Yonex need to innovate a 0.64mm string to enable her market leadership. :D

    I am using the Proace 0.65 Titanium string on my rackets. Good control and smashes. As for durability, so far so good. BTW, I saw 0.63mm strings in one of the shop in Bras Brasah.

    The brand is APACS. As for the price, the 0.63mm is SGD $18. It is about + - SGD $1 depend on the shops you compare to.

    RSL also has a 0.65 mm string called the Ti650. It's in grey only, as far as I've seen.

    Just curious... why do people prefer thinner string? What difference does it make with thicker string?

    Anyone can share?

    Just from taneepak today:

    There is another way to get more power from a reduction in stringbed density without skipping any cross string : use thinner strings like BG66 or BG85. This way you can have it both ways, power and less stress on your racquet.

    lol, I didn't expect there will be so many companies having the 0.65mm strings.
    The one I saw was a really neon blue one.....not sure which company it is, but I will find out......
