Stringers World sells Zymax at 3.84 GBP per pack or 54 GBP for a reel. That comes out to about 6.11 USD and 86 USD, respectively. Shipping is ~5-13 USD. Prices are better elsewhere for me, but thanks for the suggestion Maklike.

Excluding VAT for international order it is 45GBP +5GBP for shipping = roughly US80. One reel is good for 23-24 rackets so go figure out how much cost to string one racket.

Reels are 54 not 45. Naturally I did all of this figuring already so like I said I can get a better price elsewhere.

yan.v, I will PM you.

If you play around their website without going to the checkout page you will never see the actual $ you got charged. VAT is 20%, knock it off from 54 then you get 45. I'm on my sixth order already with them, of course destination is North America.

Interesting. Thanks.

Hm, okay, Udonming is right. Stringers' World prices are great for reels. I think that it all depends on what quantity you're going to purchase and which variant of Zymax you wanna get. Just be a smart shopper and compare prices everywhere!

My personal suggestion:

Buying by the pack - 62, 67, 70: MBS
Buying by the pack - 65: Stringers' World (not available at MBS)

Boxes of 10 packs - 62, 67, 70: MBS
Reels - any type: Stringers' World

Dear fellows, I had tried out my Z65 from stringersworld. But some how, i feel Z62 has more cripsness and is more a friendly string as compared with Z65. Appreciate any comments or feeling that u had came across on both strings,

Btw, i had strung it both at 24lbs only.

your zm65 is the white or red version?
i had the white zm65 at 24lbs on a tsf500i, feels a bit planky during play, though the repulsion is still there.

Any retailers in Singapore/Indonesia carrying Z65 yet?

**silentheart** · 04-25-2012, 04:29 PM

FYI, I have had problem with ZyMax 62 in the last batch. They have kinks fresh out of pack or reel. Please be very careful handling it.

From where did you get the stencil ink pens? Especially the blue one

Brand? Model? :P

**Maklike Tier** · 04-25-2012, 07:02 PM

They're Stringer's World home brand ones. They work great on Zymax and Victor strings but wear off fairly quickly on some Yonex strings like BG66U - I suspect outer coatings on some strings attribute to this. Aside from that though, I highly recommend them.

**yan.v** · 04-25-2012, 09:50 PM

Yonex has some blue ink too if those are easily obtainable for you.

For those curious and interested in trying out zymax string, here my take...

got hold of zm67 to try out, after following this thread for quite some time... (ya, got poisoned by fellow bc-ers again...

) anyway, my string choice is always bg66m, so i was more interested in zm65 actually. but because zm65 is still hard-to-get currently, i have to settle for the next closer choice, zm67 (zm62 is too thin for high tension).

using bg66m as benchmark for zm67 @29lbs:
power: bg66m > zm67
control: bg66m < zm67
sound: bg66m > zm67 (bg66m produces loud high-pitch metallic sound, while zm67 produces loud low-pitch "thud")
feel: bg66m > zm67 (zm67 feels a bit dull, in between medium and hard. bg66m has more crisp and softer feeling, which is my preference.)

1 thing to note about zm67 is that the string texture is rough and grippy, resulting is excellent control of the shuttle. zm67's price-performance ratio makes it a good choice to replace the more expensive strings, especially from yonex. Hope i can get hold of zm65 soon to try it out, and have better comparisons with bg66m. i still prefer repulsive strings with softer feel.

again, the above is just my own personal opinions about zm67. depending on play styles, techniques and personal preferences, reviews may vary.
