I need a string that'll last me for a while

it also depends on the tension of your string. i think my bg65 is at 19lb and still using for about 15months now. on my other racket i have a bg70-pro at 22lb. well see how long this one last. been 2 months.

My BG65@20lbs which i've strung 3 years ago is still lasting till now.
Talk bout durability.

You can try stringing your racket with BG65, BG65ti, BG70pro or NBG95

Strings that last more than 6 months have lost most of their liveliness and elasticity, and they do not play well. If you want crispness and responsiveness from your string, change them every 3 months. Also keep your racquets in a thermal bag and store the bag in a cool or air-conditioned place.

Well there are people that cannot afford breaking string as often as us so it does make sense they want it to last as long as possible.

70 Pro is pretty durable and it plays well at high tension. Once that tension drops, you might as well forfeit some matches.

It's true! Luckily in HK stringing prices are fairly cheap. About every four months I would change my BG65.

They have to decide if they want their equipment, racquet, strings, grip, in tip top playing condition. Having an expensive racquet and a 3 year-old string is a huge waste of money and making do with mediocre playability.
However, if you play with plastics exclusively, then I guess it will not make any difference.

If you thought 3 years was old my friend has a 22 year old racket that still has the factory string on it. Don't know how often he uses it but talk about durability
