My BG66 always break after 1month.. I wonder izit the person who strung my racket problem or I need to change to thicker string? Between BG66 and BG80, what the different?
What is your tension? BG66 and BG80 have different feeling. BG66 is know to break the fastest in the Yonex string range.
1 month is better than my strings My strings usually only last couple weeks. If miss hit, only couple games. My strings are Ashaway MicroPower 0.7mm in 27/30 lbs May be I play too much and smash too mash...4-6 times a week and each time play around 4-6 hours...
@phandrew, I using 27 lbs on Impact ArcForce 10 (Arc Saber replica). Now I'm using BG66, and If i change to BG80, what the different feel I get?
Cannot follow the tension of BG66? Cause I'm playing BG66 at 27lbs for a time and I cannot play well if the tension lower that 27lbs. Izit BG80 tension at 25lbs, it feel like tension 27lbs on BG66?
In my opinion the thicker the string is the higher the tension needs to be to get the same feeling. So I would always have a higher tension when playing with bg80 to get the same feeling as bg66...so then the only question is how much money do you have and how often do you misshit
Bg80 feels stiffer than other strings though...24lbs BG80 feels tighter in play than 24lbs BG65. Not sure comparing with BG66 though.
my MP is still going strong since it was strung last March. I sometime mishit too because of switching from plastic to feather and vice versa.
BG 66 is the most fragile string in the range...... Cant help with it.. just need to play carefully with it.
What the different between BG80 and BG66 beside durability? As I used to smash alot.. Does BG80 suit me?
Well, BG80 will definitely be good for smashing. But it will be demanding a little more power than BG66 to produce that "umph". If BG66 sounds like "cling" then BG80 is "clang". They slightly have a different feel. You'll have to adjust a little bit for BG80. Well, I might say BG80 is for hard hitters.
