    Hey, just a quickie. If majority are willing to post their racket used, what string and tension it would be some what beneficial to us. And won't left puzzled.

    Present; ArcSaber 10 , BG68Ti @ 28/29 = Overall is 9/10
    Victor BS 09 , BG 80 @ 29 = Overall is 8.5/10

    As for my AS10 am still eagerly waiting for BG66 Maxima coming to M'sia.

    What about yours?

    well on the AT900T the reason it is only at 21lbs is because it is still factory strung as I only got it on Friday (I rejoined the AT series again :D :D)
    Regarding the ns9900 I string so low because my mum is always fussy when the string breaks (she thinks it should never break:confused:) I had planed to purchase some strings from MBS (BG66,BG85, NBG98) to see what they were like but my sting broke before I had the chance to order them so probaly will leave it to January
    22lbs is fine I will raise it to 24lbs on my AT900t when I snap them

    I don't understand the facination with super high stringing tensions. Quite honestly, I think most amateurs string way too high for their ability.

    I totally agree with you druss, a guy I know he was pretty good and then when his strings snapped he strung his racket at 29lbs just to brag about it,and after that even people that I know that aren't really good were beating him because he didn't have the strengh to have any sort of power or accuracy, further more after two weeks the racket broke

    I didnt know AT 900's came factory strung. In the USA come frame only, because easier to customize string, someone buying AT 900 in States dont want an average racket tension.
