    I tried it before. You can find Vining's review. Not sure I sent a pack to Master Dan last year for testing or not.

    If you are in repulsion, nothing beats BG-80 and BG-66 so far.

    Gosen + Yonex = Gosonex?

    I'm always wondering about these scales. Since 10 is fast approaching the new medium will they ever revise the system to include numbers up to 20 or just make it 10+ and 10+++++++ kinda thing.

    What tension did you string your racket at?

    I string at 28/30lbs, the string usually don't last long enough before tension loss.....:D

    Try adding a few lbs to your next string and when the tension drops, it is at your preferred tension.:)

    It's just a new package of a 1-year old model. I love the string cos it is very durable. I string at 22lbs ( cos I'm not rich =( ) on Gosen Aermet 3600.

    A hard hitter gave me this string to restring for him at 26 lbs. It broke in about 2 months of 1 night a week play. The breakage was caused by wear and tear at an intersection of mains and crosses. The string's outer shell appeared to be more brittle than BG65. I estimate this string would last less well than BG65.

    I just strung a Kason TSF 109 Energy Chain with the Gosen Nano string @ 30/33lbs.
    Here is a quick review after just one game.
    Very solid string, excellent power. The string texture is a bit slippery so the net drop return is a little tougher. The string diameter seems thicker than .70mm, appearance wise. Need to have a caliper to measure the actual diameter. No visible wear on the string surface after 50+ smashes and drives, very durable.

    From my experience, it's quite a durable string. The only issue is the quickie tension loss.
