    No good in what sense? Too stiff? Too loose? If so, restring it with adjusted tension. Durability is not good? Then, try thicker string such as BG80 with desired tension.

    Regarding to tension, there's no universal solution. Some ppl like 20lbs, some might say 30 is still too low. Therefore, you have to adjust your current tension higher or lower based on your own preference.

    yeah it should be about the tension, i feel that its too loose... and what about adjust the tension? u said about restring? does it mean that the old string got cut and i gotta replace with a new one? or they can can input somemore lbs to increase my current tension ?

    if you feel that it jsut needs some minor adjusting, then increase in increments of 1-2 lbs, if its way to loose/bouncy then increase in 3-4lb increments, and yes you must cut your current strings.

    depends ectactly how hard you can hit, if you can hit it hard enough to flex the stringbed at that high of a tension then go for it.

    we cannotreccommend tension, its just trial and error, if you want the tension thats right for you you gotta go through the trial and error that everyone does.

    If money isn’t a problem you would experiment by having at least two racquets (the same) strung differently, firstly lets say with Yonex Stings, sting one with BG80 at 22lbs and the other with BG68 again at 22lbs. The chances are you be happiest day one with the BG68, a month later you could feel that the racquet strung with 68 had become too slack. Now the solution would be to restring BG80 with 68 at 24lbs and compare that with the 22lbs racquet, you would in effect find a tension and string that works perfectly for you. Unfortunately if your stringing with 68 though you run a much bigger risk of string breakage especially as you pump the tensions up, what you would probably be better off with is using 65 string and sacrificing that little bit of control for the longevity of the strings.
