    what is your current tension..maybe yang2 string not durable. from 0.66 to 0.70 will give you different feeling. if you are not in budget constraint there is a lot yonex string with 0.66 gauge or below with higher durability.

    how about
    Yonex BG-66 or NBG-98
    The BG-66 breaks easily if you mis-hit alot

    thicker strings last longer but Thinner gives u the shiok factor. U boleh choose one.

    You could try BG-80, it's a good all around string. Other strings you could try are BG-66,85.

    BG-65 is durable
    I think most pros use BG-66 or BG-66 Ultimax/Maxima Don't know

    your tension 24lbs then it should be fine for BG66, still durable enough and its still cheaper compared to others, you can try 0.70 string but its will give you a different feeling since u used to .66 string. When you using bigger string you need to adjust its tension a few lbs higher to get the same feeling ..... what your string normal life span? and if you are slicing the birdie a lot its will break the string quicker.

    juz came back from the badminton court....REVIEW BG70 PRO....
    the string was really good....
    was bit odd during the first few minutes(getting used to it i think)....
    ma smashes was really powerful....
    the string din even move like most new strings do....
    it was put in its place....
    the tension din drop at all...
    it was really holding tension very well....
    ma friend gave it a try, guess what he said(tomorrow follow me, i also wan to change to this string) :DDDD


    it is a really good string...i would really recommend it to smashers....
    BG70 PRO ROCKZZZ!!!!

    thx for the ideas...
    but i've already tried bg66...
    yeah the repulsion us really good...
    but it broke like in 2 weeks...:(((
    NBG98 is very expensive...
    maybe i'll give a try on BG80...
