    generally speaking the Nanogy 95 @ 23lb will last longer then your normal BG66 @ 23lb simply because its thicker
    but its like what u see in movies, some ppl can take a dozen bullets and live
    and some ppl get shot in the ass and die (mishit that is)

    i think 65 ti would be good because 6000 is not very good at smashing well for me but try string at 24

    It depends on the player's skills and playing styles. The string tension matters too, because getting the NS6K strung with bg65 @ 26lbs is better than getting a NBG98 or BG80 @ 17lbs..

    Thanks shaoyut. But comments of 65Ti in the forum are not that good wor ...
    http://www.badmintoncentral.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/207/sort/2/cat/29/page/1

    My first target is 68Ti, but seen most people recommend to me not good.
    I asked some helpful people here and they most recommend BG80 or BG85.

    By the way, what string you have tried feel good to play ar?

    Yes, and I will try string at around 23-24 lbs. My previous at around 21 is not that good. People here usually recommend 24 lbs. I think it is quite a good start for my try.

    One more question I want to ask is for the racket, it usually has a specified tension range e.g. 17-22lbs or 20-25 lbs. For NS6K, it is 17-22lbs. If I do it e.g. 24lbs, is it okay? What is the spec. 17-22 lbs for? Is it the racket's limitation or just recommendation? How much the tension will the racket likely broken? Sometimes, I find people say even tension at 28-29lbs. Thanks.

    I had my racquet strung at 21lbs with bg65power at first, then switched to Mp-xl at 24lbs. This sudden change in the string tension made my arm to start aching after playing for 3 hours. But it didnt take long to get used to it, and the control that you will get is wonderful, compared to your old tension.
    Oh btw, you can also try other brands such as Ashaway, instead of Yonex. :)

    Oh, the limit is 28 lb! 17-22 lb is for warranty only.

    A good stringer with a good machine can string it up to 28lb without problem. Usually, a good stringer will tell you that the warranty is 17-22. He/She is not responsible to racquet breakage if strung higher than 22lb.
