Why do they use BG-65 on Sing Open ?

    I notice they string all the racquets using BG-65. What's so special about this string?
    (They actually re-string them on the spot, during the match!)

    coz they all have some crazy 30+lbs tension, and bg65 is the only thing that will take so high tensions and not break in a few points.

    Wouldn't they have better control and power with BG-85 at 28lbs, or would that just break every other smash? Seems kind of odd that Yonex's best strings wouldn't be used by the pros because of durability problems.

    that's because 99% of all players out there dont even know what is good or bad racket and string for them to use. Yonex likes that.
