Who says BG80 is soft? BG80 is among the stiffest, hardest strings I have ever tried.

The only way it could feel soft is if you strung it at 18lbs. or lower.

Anyone who has experience with a variety of strings will tell you otherwise.

I concur with Master Panda DinkALot. BG-80 is a hard string!

Yesterday I received the latest beta version of Ashaway's zyex string , X1760 and X1762. I tried X60 at 27lbs. ECP on my Cab 30 and was very pleasantly surprised.

In the three hours of testing I found X60 so good I think it's just about ready for production. Will update more this weekend.

Master Yoda, do you want any to test? Please give me a holler if you do.

Are you sure it is not the Cab30?

Yes, your special mojo Cab30s are awesome but the string has something to do with it.

Does the Zyex string have the same design as the other ashaway strings or does it use a completely different technology?

Dear Dinky the Panda Bear,

Can you ask Ashaway how many Zyex core in the new test badminton string? And yes, the string does perform quite well. The test one is as good as BG85 with a little softer feeling.

Hmm, sounds tempting to try. Dink, how is the X60 compared to the prototype strings that coolact was offering ? You've tried it, haven't you ?

The Coolact string is good but for me not as good.

The X60 and X62 are different from the string you tested. I'll send you one of each. The current prototypes are more refined.
