    currently using BG66 @ 26lbs..feeling a slight arm pain below biceps
    waiting for it to break to reduce tension

    what tension you guys suggest?
    i thought of BG65 @ 26lbs since i heard BG65 is not good in retaining tension
    what about BG68Ti? 24/25lbs?

    more to smasher but doesn't want to sacrifice control that much
    using Apacs N900P red for the record

    any suggestions are welcomed

    same string at 2lbs less tension would be a good start

    thought of your suggestion but prefer something more durable

    i'm using bg 65 with my lethal 60... i don't feel that it's lost much(maybe 1 or 2lbs) tension after a month... it's strunged at 26lb... so give it a try... the only ti i've used is the 65 ti... and that's suppose 2 lose even more tension... but i don't feel much difference... i'd recommend getting the 65 at 26lb...
    if ur feeling pain.. i would cut it now... i'd spend a bit more money for a new string then spend a bucket load fixing my arm in the future.. + might damage your arm so much that it'll affect ur game...

    my next string will prob b 65 at 27... that is if i can't get my hands on nbg 95 or bg 70...

    i played last night..not even a bit of pain now..
    will consider your suggestion..thx

    btw, what's good about NBG series?
    what are the major differences (adv/disadv) compared to BG series?

    from what i've read, it's like bg66 with more durability but less feel... that's y i want 2 give it a try, high repulsion is always good :p
    or was it bg 80, i can't remember lol...

    not much pain may mean that the string has lost tension

    hmm you have a point
    that's highly possible as i've been smashing like no tomorrow to make my string break faster haha

    i've heard that BG80 isn't that durable too..or was it BG85
    too many string models..can't remember them all hahahaha
