    Get this string form Ampang Park.
    It comes with the Apacs racket I bought.
    The person there said it is 0.66mm which is same with BG 66.

    Anyone here use it ?
    Ashaway Durakill 66 is sold about RM 22 while BG 66 is RM 29.

    It's ok. A bit thin and bouncy for my liking and doesn't have particularly good durability, It's not that lively at high tenisons either but does give a fairly crisp sound and feel.

    I usually take them straight off and swap for Bg65Ti/Bg80 at 28lbs.

    I feel it is hardly find any people using Ashaway Durakill 66 is Malaysia.
    Mostly Yonex or Gosen strings....

    ok ... ashaway FLEX .. SUCKS big time !!
    repulsion is poor .. the shuttle doesnt seem to wanna bounce of the strings very much at all .. much harder to play delicate shots

    You can find Durakill66 at Etakoh in Pertama Complex.. Only RM20... Holds tension very well but feel like losing repulsion after some time...

    IS Durakill 66 the cheapest string by Ashaway? I do find my racket lose the tension very fast...
    any good strings can find in Malaysia beside Yonex?
    How about Victor and Apacs stirngs?
