    i've used both

    durability: both equal

    however, zm70 (without prestretch) tension retention much much better, so it's more playable for a longer time

    whereas bg65 (if not prestretched) would lose 2-3 lbs after 1-2 months!

    equal, I use both regularly.
    under ideal conditions (no mishits or bad grommets), both last exactly 6 weeks for me.

    if you play feathers, you've got to try zm67 or 62

    much better feel and crispness

    since his original post indicates that he cares about durability, zm62 might not be the most fitting suggestion. zm62 can break in days.

    zm67 is much better but still no in the league as ZM70 or BG65.

    Thanks for all your replies

    I play feather

    This was just for a friend of mine who's looking for a durability string

    I use the 0.62-0.66 stuff :D

    I don't mind stringing, its kinda fun
