durability might be NBG98 is better, but to be honest with everyone here, i have never broken a ZM62N. no matter how hard i tried to hit with it.

i have a friend who just had his racket strung with NBG98@25lbs. i gave him my racket with ZM62N to try, he gave me his other racket and ask me to cut the strings and put the ZM62N on it. he is getting way more repulsion from the ZM62 than the NBG98.

Well, i cant agree more than that. In the past, i use 66UM and after i tried Z62. I had given up on all yonex strings.

Isn't NBG98 a 0.66 string? I don't disagree that Zymax is better than Nanogy in almost any aspect, but I'm sure that the thickness difference probably causes a lot of the differences in the repulsion of the string compared to ZM62N.

I felt like Lee Yong-dae during the AE!

Yeah, thin strings + winter + Canada + slight miss hits =

Lol, i kinda agree with you. no wonder it is hard for Canadians to put strings on high tension... we can only blame the weather.

just tried out the red ZM65 @ 25lbs on my old Sotx D900, surprisingly this one has more pop and feels less planky than the white ZM65 @ 24lbs on TSF500i.

The red Z65 is quite nice isn't it. Crisp solid feel. I didn't buy any white b/c of the advice on this forum. (and the red looks so beautiful on my PP Trinity 1

)

**DuckFeet** · 05-27-2012, 12:09 PM

I just ordered the 65 in red. Probably will string at 22-24. Can't wait to try it.

I've tried the microlegend which was amazing and gave me loads more control and some power, then they went soggy and I've fallen out with the racket that they're in. About to try the micropower at 22?lbs. So I'll use that to gauge what tension I will go for.

**Alapongtai** · 05-27-2012, 04:31 PM

i got some 65 in red as well. gonna string 25-26. coming soon

**DuckFeet** · 06-01-2012, 12:07 PM

Bit of help please. I'm very happy with .70 ashaway @ stock (22lbs I am told). For my zymax65 do I go with 19/21 to feel the same, 21/23 same tension but will feel tighter, or 23/25? Not sure if I should push for more tension as I'm getting good contact and plenty of power.

**AZbadman** · 06-01-2012, 12:20 PM

I just ordered 3 reels of ZM65

Why not? I have not cut the previous strings, this is for another racquet so why not try something different? I see your point though, but I might be missing out

guys i am just wandering zymax62 vs bg 66um durability is better in 66um. price is better in zy62 but if strings breaks in by only one mishit and then restringing cost in the long run expensive. feel is important but cost is important as well. i am bit confused............

**Maklike Tier** · 06-06-2012, 04:21 AM

I liked the repulsion of ZM62, but even at 23lbs I had trouble transitioning with it. It rings louder than 66U at 26lbs! 66U could arguably be the best string out there at the moment. Great repulsion, superb tactility....but with a small concession to tension retention and durability. If durability and cost is paramount, take a look at ZM65.

**badmintanfreak** · 06-07-2012, 08:00 AM

how is feel and power of zy65

rings louder -> high pitch oder low pitch?
transitioning -> do you mean you had problems to adapt to the new string?
66U -> do you mean 66Ultimax?
What do you mean with superb tactility (of ZM62)?

Can you compare ZM62, ZM65 and ZM67?

Thanks in advance :P
