    Which String is durable but still very efficient?

    Ive gone through a

    BG65Ti - strung at 19lbs. on a Armortec 800 OF (lasted 3 months)
    BG65 - strung at 23lbs. on a Armortec 800 OF (lasted 5 weeks)
    BG 65 - strung at 21lbs. on a Armortec 800 OF (lasted 3 weeks)
    BG 70 - strung at 20bls. on a Carlton Airblade AS-TI (currently lasting 4 months)

    all the wear and tear is equally distributed among my two racquets..
    my play style is mostly drops and 109km/hour smashes. A clear every now and then. My last strung that broke was the 3rd one 21lb armortec 800of, showed absolutely no signs of snapping and BAM snapped,.

    getting pretty sick of driving up to markham all the time

    are you using plastic or feather shuttles?

    I prefer BG70 for plastic

    To me, listing actual play hours could be much more accurate than the months. A player playing 5 hrs every single day is different than another one playing 2 hrs per month. :rolleyes:

    Bg68Ti lasts about 2 months strung at 25lbs

    play 3 times a week for about 2-3 hrs each time.
