First off i would like to apologize for the repetitive question. i did try to search but was unable to find the answer for the same racket. Very simple really, i have an Arcsaber 10. The limit on the brochure says 25lbs max tension and i have it at 26lbs. i would like to push it higher. (nothing silly) Will it take it? Also, for my own knowledge, is it true that the thicker the string, the higher tension it can take? Any help appreciated Thanks
Yes, it can take higher then 30 lb. Just make sure your stringing person is experienced. Also, NO WARRANTY!
thanks for the swift reply ... no waranty for stringing is scary though.. The place i go to is good, however i pray it will be ok now that i know it has no warranty. Any experience with the stringing?
I am not sure what you mean by experience with stringing? Are you asking "Do I string?" or are you asking "Am/have I experienced in stringing badminton racquet at higher tension?" Yes for question #1 and no comment on #2
sorry. in my first post, i was wondering whether thicker strings can take higher tensions than the thinner strings (more durable) making it less easier to snap?
ill be using the nanogy 95. i know mishits will pop the strings, but wouldnt it still be quite durable?
Actually, NBG95s aren't really known for their durability. I would say, it kinda sucks at keeping tension and the feel. But, choice is up to you.
actually, i think it will, well, it'll be better than BG80/85, but a bit less than BG65. however, the power is a good trade off imo.
I guess, if you're willing to spend more money too. I think if you want to go for an all-round type of string, go for the BG-70 Pro. Good power, good control, good feeling, good durability. Kinda.
i strung my ARC10 with Yonex BG80 with tension 27x28 lbs. For me, it could generate decend power and control. Previously using BG66 and NBG95 at 26 lbs but the feelings was not satisfying enough. After switching to BG80, I could feel the power and the control gets better.
Since you've tried all 3 on your Arc10, how would you rate their durability. I know generally it's all the same no matter what racket you're using but, what would the order be from best to worse? I've never had all 3 on my Arc10 so I can't be a judge. It's a bit off topic, but I'm curious as to whether or not the BG66 lasted longer than the 80 (pretend tension is not a factor). I mean, after all, they are both known for popping pretty frequently.
No warranty It is mean actually no warranty for both racket and string Racket may give way if cant take the tension
damn, getting a bit nervous now, the only reason i am pushing for a little higher than my normal 26lbs is due to the lack of hold of the tensions over time. i find it gives a little asap after the first two weeks are over. Also, having tried my friends at 28lbs, Arc 10 also, fresh restring (2 weeks use) the tension is very 'suited' for myself.
Well, if it's a real racket, it should be able to stand a tension of 30 easily but I don't suggest you go that high. 28 should be okay, but even that's taking a risk. Perhaps go to 27 at max. When you get it strung, I'm almost 100% sure they'll tell you that they aren't responsible. At this point, don't worry about that. Don't change your mind. If you're at the store for restringing purposes, just restring it.
