Best String

bg 68ti is recommended smashing power and bg 85 for more repulsion

 

What's repulsion????? I use BG 85.

 

Re: Best String ??

Actually this is something I can't understand. I've used BG65-Ti, BG68-Ti and BG75-Ti before, and all of them were strung at 24 lbs. Honest speaking, I found none of these strings is good for smash and clear, when compare with BG85 (my favorite string, I usually strung it for at least 24 lbs, up to 28 lbs). I need to hit the shuttle harder in order to generate the same amount of power with these titanium strings.

The only alternative I've found so far is BG66, however since I haven't tried it at high tension (I've tried it at ~22 lbs, it gives quite a good feeling), I can't conclude at this moment (BG66 is recommended by one of my coaches).

BG80 is close to BG85, but I prefer to get "better" string with even higher cost (BG80 is more durable).

Finally, I think there is no such thing called "best string", it really depends on individual's style and preference.

 

In my opinion the BG66 offers the most "power" but then you can break these things in like 2 weeks, its like playing with those carlton strings but stronger. In my opinion though I think the BG80 and 85 are stronger than the 65ti. The ti doesnt seem much better than the regular 65, in fact I prefer the regular 65 to the ti, the regular one seems to give me more control.

 

hmm whats a good string for PURE SMASHING?
I'm planning to get a prince axis racquet and i hear they can only accept .2 guage strings....would bg65 suit the .2 guage requirement?

 

String,

I have used many strings over the years, in my high school days, I enjoyed using Babolat UFO strings and Gosen Hy Sheep. These strings I found would hold tension better than the strings of today which mostly have a protective coating for shelf life and seem to slip alot.

I have never been a fan of Yonex strings. I detest BG65, useless string unless you are looking for durability. In college I used BG 70 Pro, cause it was free and it was pretty good for smashing. The only strings of Yonex that I like nowadays is BG95 (on my Cab 8 TI) and BG66.

Nowadays, I still have my reel of Gosen Hy Sheep. Since I have moved on to enjoying feather shuttles, I currently enjoy using Gosen Tec Gut Tour and Ashaway Microlegend XL. I string my racquets at about 24lbs.

I dont think yonex strings are able to be used with Prince. If I remember correctly my friend tried to get his prince strung with bg70 but that string was too thin.

In the English Dictionary, 'repulse' means 'repel'. I noticed you have used the word 'repellent' for the same purpose.

 

Pardon me, but that's pure BS. I used both BG65 and BG80 (and some Ashaway string) on my old Prince Response. It was just fine. I just strung it about 2-3 lbs harder than I would any other racquet to get about the same feel.

I don't understand all the myths and misconceptions that seem to surround Prince badminton racquets. In my opinion the Y-joint shape is different, but excellent once you get used to it.

 

oh k. thanx.

 

I agree with Eric.

If you can afford to restring everytwo weeks then BG-66 IS the best.
At high tensions you get lotsa power and also a good amount of control at the
same time. Slicing also seems easier.

The other string that does this (although still not as well as the 66) is BG-85,
(which has already received alotta good comments)

I am using a Ti-10 with a BG-65 for the moment simply because of its durability.
(Honestly, I don't think I can afford to restring every 2-3 weeks hahah)

I find that Ti strings simly dont have that..er.. punch compared with normal ones
but the last way longer though (at the same time keep the tension pretty well)

You might wanna consider the way the racket is strung, cause I have come across afew patterns of stringing.
Can anyone get back to me on this?

 

OT: Pricing in CAD

I've been using bg 70 for years with plastic birds and bg 80 for feathers. I have nothing to complain thus far with bg 80, but in the last 6 months, i've been breaking strings on my bg 70 like almost every other week. I've played with bg 65 and liked it to a certain extent, but liked bg 70 more. How is bg-65 ti in retrospect to bg-70? and cost wise in CAD. I'm more concerned with feel that I never got out of bg 65. Power isn't a problem, since I get the same amount of power out of every string I've played with.

 

Ok. Mag was correct you can string the prince with yonex string. I checked with my local stringer yesterday and they said it could be strung with yonex string but that its against their recommendation to string it with yonex since the string itself is thin, so the big spacing between strings on the prince racket will cause the string to break faster. So, it's not covered but their string warranty.

 

Ok, u guys say that if u want to use BG66, use it only if u have the money to restring it every 2 weeks. But how many hours do u play each week????? I play abt 5.

 

I've exactly the same feeling on Yonex Ti strings as you, even though there are some people said that they are good. Even for BG75Ti which is advertised as a string designed for offense, I still find that I can smash harder with BG85 (or probably BG66).

 

Well, I play about 24 hours a week when season starts and only about 5 when it ends.
