Tension does drop a little but i feel it is a matter of the stringbed softening more than tension dropping. This is already a soft string and i m sure everyone knows even before the tension drops/string softens, the string goes dead in about 10 hours of play before it even starts fraying. A very good string but not economical for recreational players. Pros have no qualms as they string on every match.

Try Victor VS650. Same characteristics but better.

yes agree... NBG98 will not give u power & sound as hell as BG66UM... my 1st time with NBG98 strung at 27lbs, about a week the string likely to easy to slip when hit harder... after that it became staggered... never experienced BG66UM like that

SP Lee in Kuchai has promotion on their yonex strings. I think its only RM 28 for BG 66U.

Please take note that this is the "practice" that I saw in a few shops recently which I did not like ... for strings esp when they are priced "cheaper" than usual ... the price stickers are INTENTIONALLY placed to cover the part where the SP code, CH code (at the back) or Sunrise stickers are supposed to be, so kind of like "hiding" the origin and when I PRESS THE DEALER HARDER about it, they usually will tell me that these cheaper ones are not sourced from SUNRISE MALAYSIA ... but they insist it is "genuine"

(yeah, right, as if they are going to tell they sell FAKES huh ?

) ... so do take note and be more alert ....

I have seen on a website selling "HIGH COPY" (whatever that means) of Yonex strings and trust me, I CANNOT TELL THEM APART VISUALLY ....

I dare not say genuine or fake ... so it is a "HIGH COPY" as per description in website ....

see website below and scroll down for details:

I would say that RM30-35 for Ultimax in Msia will be the fair price. Like mentioned, this price is offered by a few of the famous shops around. I doubt that they are fakes. However, those that charges around RM50 are those normally the shop in badminton court, where you dont have a choice but to string there if your string broke and you dont have a spare.

As for the high copy, selling at RM9 I believe they are imitation. Even the description saying "exactly like original" implies that it is not original...
