I got a wilson badminton racket and the strings are weak, i need to restring it. I want some strings that hit HARD! i want powerful smashes! yet still have a nice short game. how much is string?
NBG98 is the string to go if you want power and it's only available in Japan. You should have NBG95, BG66, BG80 and BG85 locally so try them out to.
String in canada: At national sports where i have found they have the most string prices are as follows: BG65-$34 BG65 ti-34$ BG70-$20 The prices are retarted i dunno why. If given to RSX who owns the company strings attached in canada he'll give you them for around 10 without stirnging. ANd the strings he provides are not the low end ones found at national sports. He has everything up to NGB 95 which prolly goes for 13 max. If u buy in bulk he decreases the price. and u automatically get a 5% discount if ur from Badminton Central. However he is located in the GTA. Message him on the forum. His name is RSX.
Strings do not hit the bird. You do. How you smash the bird powerfully is ultimately through your footwork and technique. Racquets, and subsequently string and adequate tension can only build upon the power attained from your footwork and technique. That being said, strings that can assist you in your quest for smashing power would be NBG98 and BG80. However, both have drawbacks in their durability.
