Hi all, Just wondering if people have favourite and least favourite strings? Of course this will soely be opinion based. I don't recall anyone doing this before, if they have, please tell me (or give me a ticking off, haha). Thanks! Eg: Favourite String(s): Ashaway Micropower, BG80, BG66 Satisfactory String(s): BG65TI, Wilson Sensation Braid (.68) Unsatisfactory String(s): BG68TI (for some odd reason), Wilson DynaSmash (.72) Sadly I have only used/experienced the above. String(s) that I want to try: BG85, Nanogy 98, Ashaway MicroLegend
1st choice: yonex bg85 - power & control string. not so durable as complained by others. for me, at USD10 for string & labour, not that big deal to change every 2 months. 2nd choice: yonex bg80 - good playability string, value for money 3rd choice: yonex nbg98 - almost perfect string. so sad, it is expensive. some of dislike strings; 1. bg66 - good playability string but in the 1st few sessions only. not durable. 2. rsl ti630 - cheap but slippery string and i feel that ti strings are not nice to play. 3. bg66 sharp - slippery string and expensive.
Favorite Strings: BG80 (21X23), BG85(22X24), NBG95(24X26) Satisfactory Strings: BG65(22X24) Unsatisfied Strings: BG65-Ti(23X25) (Slippery, provides little control when hitting hard. Drops tension to 20X22 in about 5-6 months) Wanted to try strings: BG66, BG70-Pro, NBG98
love: BG80, 66, 65, 65ti, ashaway rally 22 hate:all ashaway micropower series, all fukuda tension:27lbs
Love: Yonex CBG 100 and BG-65Ti Hate: Carlton factory strings Want to try: Yonex SemeTitan and TobiTitan (will be a job for when I come back from Belgium) Tension: 28Lbs (other than Carlton factory strings, obviously)
Love: BG66, SOTX 1040Ti-65, Auspic A-66, Ashaway MP (Far East spec, 0.66) Acceptable: BG85, BG80 Hate: BG-65Ti, BG-68Ti, NBG95 Tension: 27/29 to 29/31 (non-Vectrans), 26/28 (Vectrans) - with plastic shuttles, I should add.
I like/love the BG80, NGB95 and BG65 I don't like this orange with cris-cross black string from Ashaway... not sure what it's called...
