I kinda regretter stringing both my rackets with ap 62 due to curiosity,
although it may feel kinda good at the start when the string is still fresh,
but it is not too durable IMO.
Thus, i better stick with BG-80

I'm a stringer, so I just cut and restring everytime it's not up to par. No fun playing if your favourite tension's not there. Try the A101N(0.66mm) 'coz that one holds the tension longer.

Have you tried ap 90?
Lin Dan's using it, sure must be up to standard

I heard from a dealer in Singapore that the AP90 will be discontinued. It is also no longer available at the Lining ION Orchard showroom.

I have yet to try the new NS 70 & N 95, i think it will be a good replacement for AP90.

**llpjlau** · 11-05-2010, 12:24 PM

tried AP62 strung 26lbs on AT600. snapped on first session. don't know if it's poor stringing or poor durability.

**Ferrerkiko** · 11-06-2010, 08:33 AM

AP 62 is something like BG 66 breaks easily , I would recommend all badminton fans use NS 70 . its not bad !

much less durable than BG66. BG66 lasts me a few weeks (i.e. 5-10 sessions or more). i still have 2 packs of AP62, will try it again at a slightly lower tension with a different stringer.

**chilli** · 11-06-2010, 11:32 AM

I had the A62 @26/28#s on one Arc8DX, and it lasted about 14 hours of play. On my backup Arc8DX, I broke the A62 in 2 hours of play, twice, with the same tension. Guess it depends on how many mishits, and consistency in the string quality??? I still like it...just as much as the A101N(0.66mm) which lasts a heck longer.

sounds a bit of a hit and miss sometimes. i guess i cannot expect 'durability' from a 0.62mm string. would you say the AP62 offers considerably more power than the A101N? also, how would you rate the A101N against BG66?

I was about to ask the same question, is the AP101N better than say, BG66 & BG80?
