    Its just the stiffness of the shaft. S being stiff and X being extra stiff. Besides that, the colour difference of the cone. Thats all.

    most likely the S then, if you don't have enough arm/wrist power to use the X.

    Depend on what kind of drop shot. Are you talking about net drop up close to the net or back court drop from the back? If you do a lot of net drop and has good strength for clear and smash, X will be a better choice while if you do a lot of back court drop and like to clear and defend smashes, S will be my suggestion.

    If I'm correct, the X has feels that the head is heavier compared to the S.

    I have a question again now. With both of the racket for X and S what is the good lbs for the string to handle?

    Any tension that you are comfortable with. Some people may find 20lbs too low and some may find 30lbs too high.

    guess that, you are still new in badminton.
    now, get yonex bg-66 @ 23lbs for a start.
    as time goes on, you may try out other type and tension of strings.

    Yeah, there are no specific tensions for a string. It just depends on your preference.
