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.
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.
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.
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.
Frankly, I think the new red color Zymax strings are a disappointment. Yes, it is more durable but it lacks the crispness and speed of the old platinum ones. The reds have a longer dwell time. Another thing, there is no way the thicker Zymax strings have more power than the thinner ones, assuming one hits the bird with the right technique.
I am in agreement. The old ones seemed more powerful, crisp and controlled. Then again the old ones broke very easily indeed. The new 62's have lasted me 2 months so far compared to about 2 weeks for the old ones. They have even withstood a fair number of mis-hits. Does anyone have any comment on what the other colours feel like in comparison to the reds?
My low-skill, low-tension opinion of the new Z62 (white) is the same as above. Perhaps just not quite as crisp as the old. But still a nice string.
