    Hey! So I'll be buying the MP100 off of mybadmintonstore.com

    http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=143

    Link.

    Queston: What do I string it at? And what string should I get? I'm leaning towards 21, since I like to dropshot and smash...

    But what kind of string? Does each racquet do different with different strings? <3.

    I would recommend either bg65, bg80 at 24lbs.

    What is your current racquet and the tension on that racquet?

    if that is the case, I will suggest you to start with BG80 at 20x22 lb or 21x23 as a start for your new MP100.
    Good luck

    As Slientheart said start off with a low tension and increase it over time
