I'm happy with Z62 @ 26. Plastics, 6 hrs p/w, and I never break them. Dink's roofing nails are largely responsible

I think i've found my sweetspot with zymax strings, zm67 on the mains @ 25lbs, zm62 on the crosses @ 27lbs. Still gives good feel from the 62, but not so much that it hurts, and maybe a touch more oomph. So far it's lasting quite well too, but then i don't hit as hard as some...

I would string it with ZM67 (platinum) over powergut 66.

I would say ZM67 is more likely to snap

My ZM70 at 30lbs broke after 2 weeks. Roughly 15 hours. Not happy because NBG98 at 32lbs is going 1 month. I was expecting this to last much longer but i was wrong.

I hope the new and improved ZM string do better.

Same with me here, I am hoping that the improved ZYMAXes will be much better, specially Zymax 62.

When would the new Zymaxes be out?

**kevindd992002** · 05-06-2011, 08:53 AM

So no difference in packaging?

It's May 6th already. Anyone with pictures of the new strings and where we can buy them?

colour of the string would be bright red
it is pretty cool (IMO)

sorry I am too lazy to take another photo for clearer colour of the string

my Tpro with Red Zymax 67

Thanks for sharing Avenger. Looks good - is it closer to the NBG98 Pink or the BG65Ti Red?

I'm hoping someone will post a picture of the different packs of strings showing all the available colors.

I did that string job, and it's what I'd call salmon-pink. I didn't use that prototype myself because it had too much texture

Is there any news for the release date in the uk?

Haven't heard anything yet, but given what happened with the last iteration of Zymax it should be a couple of months - I know WD were slightly behind eBay last time
