    yes i have used the Ashaway PowerGut 66 strings which have the PFT technology in them but for me they broke to fast...high tension and well its a thin string...but i really liked the feel of it.

    PG65 (0.70mm) has excellent all around performance but lacks durability.

    I've been using Ashaway rally 22, micropower XL and microlegend the past 2 years. I recently restrung my Carlton Powerblade superlight with PG66 at 23 lbs and I am quite satisfied with the performance.

    Been using PG65 @ 23lbs in an AT800DE for a few months. Prefer it to my other AT800DE with BG80 @ 24lbs.

    Haven't snapped any yet, but wouldn't expect to at those tensions.

    Anyone knows where I can get PG65/66 (single pack, not reel) with fairly good price? Prefer the store in US. ;)

    In the US, you can PM me for Ashway strings, including PG65/66, sets or reels. :)

    Cheers.
