I use Ashaway Microlegend (XL) strings. In my experience, they hold tension very well, so that for 1 - 2 months they will feel exactly as crisp as the first week

I may try powergut 21.

i use microlegend (XL) cos my club's stringer strings them for cheaper than yonex strings. i think they give good durability (1 - 2 weeks) at 25lbs. i found beter than most yonex strings

Comparing to Yonex bg 85 and bg 66, which is better?

What in the Ashway do you feel is better than BG-85 other than the XL? What about the Rally 22?

All my rackets are stringing with Ashaway Micro One. Good feeling, the tension is keeping stability.

no idea - saw this in the central sports uk brochure and it said it was for high tensions with light racquets - perfick for my MP88

Not trying to change the original topic.

If u try to find a cheaper alternative for BG85, I recommend Gosen BioRoots68. However, u need to pre-stretch the string, prior to string it. It takes a bit more time, but $$$ vs performance ratio is good.

I have tried MicroLegend XL strings before (at 24lbs) : crisp feel, a lot of power, look good too. How about MicroPower strings - i find them similar to microledgend XL, but in a distinctive red colour. However they are not very durable
