    for the 200, it would be really nice if you can compare it with BG 66.
    Since it cost tad bit more then BG 66, i want to know how it performs.
    So far BG 66 is my favourite string :)

    and did you string it at 28 again?

    I will string at about 27lbs. That's my benchmark now because it's a happy median between the normal tension string users and well as uber tension users. :)

    How about this Dan as a suggestion.

    Have two seperate benchmarks for all yours strings which will provide a better view of how they perform to both normal and uber tension users.

    Oo, I wonder if they will last long enough to provide a review. Or maybe it'll be the new thing, a thin string that won't break easily XD

    You're welcome.

    Second thoughts, would you like to test the R4X 300 as well? I'm curious to see how it performs against the classic Yonex BG-65. PM me your address if you want to do the test.

    Thanks
    W

    I asked matt for a string from MYbadmintonstore but only 2 packs of R4X came. So do you think you could send Matt a string so I could review it also. Me and Matt are buddies haha.

    ProKennex has MicroFlex 63Ti which is also 0.63mm. However, the durability is very acceptable (similar as BG80 with my limited tries). ;)

    Hi Winston, I didn't know you were MBS. I've purchased quite a few things from you and have been very pleased. I will PM you now and have no problem paying for the strings.

    Thanks! :)

    I played with both strings for about 5 hours now, 4 hours with the 100 and 1 hour with the 200 and both are excellent to first-rate, among the best strings I have tried.

    Control, feel, grip, response, all as good as I have ever tried. I have not had a chance to test the durability nor power because (as some of you know), I hurt my shoulder and the doctor said I cannot...errrr...should not do any overhead smashes for 2-3 months. So no power ratings. I did do a few side smash/drives and the string was very crisp and felt very good. I don't have any doubts the power is there.

    I will continue use the string and update...
