If you currently using 23lbs I suggest u to using BG66 coz thinner string providing more control&repulsion power and sound crisps aswell BUT u may also need to consider the durability. Hope it would help
thanks for ur reply bro. i jus tried my fren's wilson ktour with BG66 22lbs, feels like no power. mayb because of its tension? durability shoulnt be an issue for me as my smash is still noob. even though i like to smash..hehe.. from some of the review here, bg66 needs more technique to play?
U could try 23lbs x 25lbs(cross) & thts will give you well balance feeling, in my mind for using BG66, u need to put a little bit more effort on it.
you can try BG66, you will definitely like it. BG80 is too hard for you to play. BG66 with 24 x 26 lbs give you more feeling and repulsion power, and netting is so accurate.
I actually feel the opposite. I like BG80 better at 25Lbs than BG66 if these are the only 2 choices. Still like NBG95 and NBG98 (if they have some here again, I will stock up).
i'll choose bg-80 for pure power and consistance performance to help generating power from the weak, nbg-98 is much much better than bg-66.
I'm curious how do u guys actually request specifically for a higher 2lbs on the cross? Most of the time the stringer will just ask me what lbs do u prefer, which normally i opt for 24lbs. Or izzit understood by all of the stringers
I see, now thats something new for me. Never request for tension like that before. Thanks for enlightening me. But is there a possibility that the stringer do not understand what am i trying to say? haha
I think a stringer should know what the difference the main and cross strings are. If not then you might want to show the stringer what the main and cross strings are by indicating the vertical stings being main and the horizontal strings being cross.
if there benefit in terms of power if i strung 2lbs higher then the cross(horizontal)? jus wondering wat are the other advantages other than keep the racket head shape by doing this?
A simple explanation is: Let's say your intention is to string 24x26. So, your mains go in at 24 lbs. Then, when the crosses are pulled to 26 lbs, they tighten the main lines too. The increase is roughly another 2 pounds. As such, you end up with 26x26... or 26 pounds everywhere on the string-bed. Since both the mains and crosses are equally tensioned, the frame retains its original shape. That means the racquet will perform the way it is intended to perform PS: Of course, many other factors are involved in the perfect stringing job. Professional stringers are masters in this art... and, in this Stringing sub-forum, you can find a great deal of very useful information (and tips on DIY).
