    go for ur old string BG 85.....
    A good string for BANG!!!!

    but if you want to get more feeling than power, go for BG 66

    bg85 is a great string.
    if you feel it is a good for you, just maintain.

    if you want to wonder around, try out bg80. more durable than bg85 in expense a little from control. :)

    I say, stay with BG85 if you're comfortable with them. If you want a bit more durability, go with the BG80, you won't regret it!

    My 900P currently houses BG-85 at 29lbs and I love it - loads of power, despite the high tension, and a great sound; I would definitely stick with it if I were you. Like many have said before me, if you find it breaks too easily use BG-80 (90% of the power and 20% more durable, in my experience).

    nice but very slippery..........
    electronic constant pull at 26lbs is very nice.
    maybe Mark A is a normal machine pull at 29lbs.
    different stringer, different feel of the tension.
    end, no need to worry about tension, as long as you like that tension.

    When you have lack in control or too much power.

    If you want control I believe the Ashaway ML, PG66 and MP66 are much better than Yonex BG66 or even BG85. You should be able to feel the difference. The above 3 Ashaway strings have 5,000 (ML) microfilaments to 4,000 (Asian PG66 and MP66) microfilaments. On the same racquet BG66 will weigh, after being strung, about 3g where as PG66 and MP66 will weigh 3.6 to 3.7g. The claimed string thickness is the same at 0.66mm but there is just more air pockets instead of microfilaments in BG66, which I suspect have no more than a hundred filaments.
    I have even tried NBG98, BG85, BG66 and I find them to be a bit less sure-footed. The contact footprint of the shuttle on the stringbed feels much smaller or less flat or even with the Yonex strings.
