im going to get a mp99 and i was jsut wondering what strings u guys would think is good...i was looking for something that would last long.
Out of my own list, if durability is way more important to you, then BG65 is the one. If you want good overall performance as well as reasonable durability, I will say BG80.
However, many ppl claim the BG70pro string bed just feel dead. Of course, this is a personal preference issue.
I only tried BG-70 Pro once and relative to BG-80, it did feel dead. I'll stick with BG-80...testing BG-68Ti soon. Another very good option is the SOTX BS-963 (0.68mm) string. It's made of "super nylon" (whatever that is). I need more time with the string but after using 2 sets, it plays very much like BG-80, is more durable and less expensive but hard to find. Waiting on www.ibuysports.com to hurry up and get more.
BG-70 Pro like BG-65 come alive at 26 lbs or more from a constant-pull machine . It sings at 28 lbs! How much is it? Does it come in different colours and 200 metre reels?
Agree, BG-65 is better at higher tensions. My BG-70Pro was strung at 26/29lbs. The SOTX BS-963 only comes in individual packs. I believe the price is $4.50/pack, $4.00/pack if you buy 20 or more. www.ibuysports.com does not have any in stock, they said another two weeks so I gotta wait.
i was also wondering why people string there rackets and different lbs across and up and down. does it do any good?
Do a search and you'll find the answer. In any event, it's to try to maintain the original shape of the racket. If you do 23lbs. all around as opposed to 23 (main), 25(cross), the racket will become more round.
Is that company/website trustworthy? Looks like they favor SOTX, and have their racquets decently cheap.
