I only strunged my mp99 with bg65 @ 23lbs around 2 weeks ago and I already notice an amount of tension lost. I can move the string easily with my finger and I am wondering if this is normal. I seem to have lost power in my shots as well. Is the bg65 prone to lost of tension quickly? and if so, any suggestions for a replacement string?
I am using BG65 Ti on my AT500, and it generally holds tension quite well after the initial break-in(strings usually lose a little bit in the first few days after it's strung). It's a hard string, and is somewhat different from BG65. Works well for both plastic and feather shuttles. Given enough time though, the main strings will cut into the cross.
BG65 is known for losing tension, especially if the stringer does not pre-stretch the string and does not use a consistent pulling machine. Consider add 1-2 lbs for next string if you want to stick with BG65, or get a stringer, who uses a consistent pulling machine. If you want to switch string, BG80 is a well performed all around string.
