    Is BG66 a good high tension string for the arcsaber 10? I usually play with 24 (right now i'm using nbg 95), so if I use BG66, is it more beneficial for me to string it at 26?

    and another question, what string tension is considered low, medium, and high?

    The tension is based on your ability to play the game well. You dictate the tension. Not they other way round. Hope it helps. ;)

    im not sure about bg 66, not really used that string alot, but i can tell you low is probably 22 and below, medium is 22-26 , 26 and above is high. As you know pros use 30 and above, but what extremenanopowe said is true. Its really about what feels right and what you can handle

    I think that bg66 gets its maximum potential when it is strung at a high tension. I myself strung all my rackets at 31. I'm 16 and have been playing for a long time. Don't try to strung your rackets if you're a novice/beginner because there will be less power unless you have sufficient to use such high tension.
