MMM........ where to begin?

Well, I had my Ashaway Viper XT 900 re-strung in Zymax 70 red at 25lbs. Collected it yesterday having waited eagerly to try out the new '70. Broke within in a matter minutes. Very, very unhappy.

Shame, because it felt very nice. Funnily enough, my stringer actually snapped a set whilst in the middle of the stringing process. This meant that I had to travel all the way back to his house with an extra pack. He's a brilliant stringer too. I've used him dozens of times so I know for sure it wasn't an error on his part. The thing is, I seldom snap strings, which is even more peculiar. The only strings I seem to break are Ashaway. From now on I'm going to stick with the BG65ti. I've experimented with enough strings. For me, the BG65ti (at 25lbs) is one of the best, imo!!! I still like Microlegend XL though. That's another decent string.

got my Head Power helix 8000 strung with Zymax 62 at 28 lbs, have not palyed that much with it but i could feel the repulsion and bounce, my intial felling is that its a very good string and I would stick with it for a long time

**TsAr83** · 11-04-2011, 01:51 PM

I wouldn't worry about it. I think it was perhaps a bad batch or something. I bought them from stringers world UK. Funnily enough, the only strings I broke in the past were the original Zymax 70 (and 62) - on several occasions. It's still a very good string. Very powerful also, but I think I will be sticking with the BG65ti from now on. Shame, because I really rate Ashaway as a badminton brand. I love my 3 Viper XT900. Awesome.

**kingzzz** · 11-04-2011, 11:09 PM

Oh wow, stringers world prices are very good. Time to shop

**Avenger** · 11-05-2011, 11:55 AM

dang, my MX80 string snapped (I used VS 850)
well it's time to go back to Zymax string

which colour is better for MX80? red or ivory?

**Maklike Tier** · 11-05-2011, 05:48 PM

The red looks awesome.

**AZbadman** · 11-09-2011, 12:30 PM

Just got some ZYMAX 67......strung it up at 24 pounds and trying it tonight!!

**Maklike Tier** · 11-09-2011, 04:00 PM

I love this string. LOVE IT.

It also doesn't hurt that an MX80 with red strings and red grip is probably the hottest looking racket ever conceived.

Did you get a chance to compare with vs850 yet?

**Maklike Tier** · 11-09-2011, 05:30 PM

Not yet really, haven't had enough court time. It's good though, well worth trying if you like VS850 as I do. I will say that the repulsion is good, the feel is fairly good, and I like the texture of Ashaway strings for slices and drops and off forehand drops etc. A good all rounder. Will see how it settles in the next couple of weeks.
