    $10 is the cheapest in melbourne for labour. I pay $22-$27 for string and labour.

    My favourite strings:
    1. BG80
    2. NBG95
    3. BG70pro

    In Adelaide, stringing varies between $22 and $30, depending on the string.

    IMO, BG-80 rules!

    BG85, my current fav.

    BG85 is my current fav. But since i provide stringing service now. I might change to the cheaper BG66 which dosent last as long as BG85.
    Damn i only charge $20 for stringing service...lol
    Anyone who stays in Hunter region can look for me!

    i have used BG 65, 66 and 68 Ti before.

    and currently, i am using BG 68 Ti, SG$15-18 per restring.
    i just love it for its hitting sound and repulsion.

    the disadvantage is that it lasts 1.5months at most, and i have 3 rackets =.="

    hybrid strings

    do two strings puting on a racket, become more durable and a little of less repulsion.
    recommendation:
    Main: Yonex bg-65Ti (0.70mm) Cross: Yonex bg-68Ti (0.68mm)
    Main: MMOA Extra Nano (0.70mm) Cross: MMOA ProPower (0.66mm)
    if somebody wants to try it, i can do it for you.

    Hi davidcheng, how you do find the MMOA pro power 0.66mm string? Personally I thought it felt dead and less powerful compared to BG-66.
