Im looking for strings... can anyone tell me if these are good: BG70 Ashaway Micro Power Thanks for the help. Best regards, Kevin
there isn't a such thing as "best strings". it is down to what you want the strings for, if you want durability go for a string like bg65, if you want power go for b66 etc.
what do you search in a string. afaik: The Bg 80/85 is great feel but "bad" durability the BG65 is a lil bit of all and teh ashaway is very durable, but doens't hodl tension well, afaik
i've never used ashaway strings so i don't know what they are like but i find bg65 only hold tension for a week or so
i cut mine out after a month because there was no sign of wear or anything and the tension had dropped form 24lbs to about 18lbs . i now use bg85
I think a lot of BCers like BG-80 and I just got 10 of them and eager to try them out. I started the forum about what's the best racquet and string combination. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28631&highlight=combination. Check it out and find out for yourself.
x Hmmm, as soon as my Ashaway Micro Power XL breaks, what should i get in the BG series? BG 65? 70?80? or 85?? Edit: It is for a MagaN ATB Victor racquet. I think its for rallies and long shots. Want me to show a picture? THanks.
x I see, thanks alot!! And, look at this picture, tell me what this racquet could be used for. http://www.badmintonwarehouse.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.10/it.A/id.204/.f Looks like a rally // long shot right?
i can see this thread going right off topic, so you should start a new thread about this racket. i look forward to writing and hearing about it there
I've used quite a few Yonex strings and honestly think that BG80 is the best. It lasts quite long (I need restringing approx. once a month, and I do play 6 - 10 hours per week with two identical racquets) and doesn't lose the tension as much as the other strings. During 1 - 3 sessions the BG80 loses a bit of the tension, but after that it stays the same until it brakes. Power is excellent as is the accuracy. I've tried Micropower a few times too, but got no "kicks" out of it. IMO it loses tension quicker & brakes quicker and doesn't carry the same punch. Maybe a bit better in drops & cuts than BG80, but not much.
x I see your point, i will buy those strings. Its weird, because i play about 3 hours per day ( yes seriously, 15 hours a week.) and so im wondering also, check out that link on top, please tell me if it is possible to easily re-string that Racquet with the bridge? thanks
it's good to hear that it will retain tension well. i have a few sets of bg80 so i will try them out soon
