if you 'search' the forum you'll over a 100 people asked "what tension/string matches my racket" and the general answer is always "whatever you want..."

just string it bg80 at 24lbs and see how things go...it's generally seen as a "can't go wrong" set-up for people who aren't really into the whole stringing-thing...(actually, I kinda like bg80 at 24lbs

)

If the string breakage is NOT due to mis-hit or bad string job, consider lower the tension on the next try. Maybe BG65 (more durable string compare to BG80) @ 23 or 24lb, or if you prefer thinner string (BG80 etc) then maybe start with 22 or 23 range.

bg-65ti is durable enough, just 26lbs and u broke it in 20 minutes??

maybe u should try another stringer next time, if u love smash then u already choose right string

one more, i wonder in what position the string is broke? centre or near top? main or cross?

near top to the right. i'm thinking to get BG 65 how does that sound??

IMO, U have to check the grommets before stringing. My ns9000 happened to snap the string due to broken grommet. As to the tension, I would recommand 2 or 3 pounds above your other rackets.

1 or 2lbs more?? but wouldn't that increase the chances of breaking the string??

broke causing by misshit, probably u misshit so often, cause IMO bg-65ti not that easily to break

Well technically yes, especially on mis-hits. Performance or durability, your choice.

I had my fair share of strings breaking quickly and I'm using 0.66mm strings. Mainly occured from a broken grommet. Other than that it last well at 26 lbs.
