    I strung my APACS Armorpower 300 with BG68-Ti @23lbs...and I have difficulty playing. I tried smashing but the power generated is less my old racquet with BG-85. And no matter how hard i hit the birdie it just doesnt move. I'm thinking to change the string, but...the bg68-ti cost me alot.:(
    what should i do?

    play with it for a few more days. maybe you will get used to it. if you still find it hard to play with, then you can probably say that that string/tension/racket combination doesn't fit you and you should remember to avoid it in the future.

    The Bg68Ti is more of a "hard feeling" string, compare to BG85 which is more soft. It shows BG68Ti is not suitable for u, at least, at this particular tension. It's sad to cut it, and waste some money. However, if u just mess around with it, u will change it sooner or later anyway, which means waste $$$ and time. :cool:

    If I read you correctly, are not you comparing apples with oranges? Your APACS Armorpower 300 with BG68Ti vs Your old racquet with BG85 will result in differences. But surely, you cannot really say the string is the sole cause?

    You are assuming your new racquet is better than your old racquet. Your old racquet is probably heavier and would therefore have a higher swingweight. So it is the racquet and the string that cause the difference. You know what? You can actually test which is better by having both racquets strung with the same string at the same tension.
