    Hey guys, any idea of what string and tension to use on a Armortec 700 Ltd? Yonex? Gosen? Others?

    Thank you.

    If you don't get any other answer after this, it's because your choice depends more on how you play more than what racket you use.

    do you do smashes often? if you do, nbg98 would be good although a bit pricy, but the control part, you need sometime to get used to it 23lbs should be good enough
    If you have the money, bg66 has the same repulsion as nbg98 has better control but breaks easier

    i have a nanospeed 9000 strung with tension 27, but the string i'm not using yonex bg66, i'm actually using gosen type 66 (which almost equivalent of yonex bg66)

    you can stick with gosen type 66 if you like it. It depends on which strings you used to and your style of play

    If you want to try another gosen string I like the Gosen Multilade R4X 100. It's gauge is 0.63mm, So it should play tighter at the same tension but I would string it a couple lbs less then your current tension.

    Other wise you can't go wrong with BG-80.

    Does Gosen Multilade R4X 100 break easily? :O 0.63mm sounds nice

    I would it has a little less durability then BG-66. At 24lbs which I think is it's recommanded max tension (think it can go to 26lbs) it lasted for 3 weeks before it got destroyed by a mishit. I use to play BG-66 at 26lbs and usually the mishits break the strings. Overall Zymax 62 should be better but I'm gonna try that hopefully next week.
