    whoa whoa whoa ...i hope its still not too late to answer you..or you already restring it??piak sounds like hitting the horse to me.YEEE HAAH.haha..anyway,what i was trying to say about the sound of the string was..er..let put it this way.im sure you know how DO RE MI sounds like,right?lets say MI is the highest tension of all,then if you have anything that are making a lower sound tone than MI,or even RE,means the tension has dropped. TING = MI TENG = RE TONG = DO . hope you understand my description.

    i play 2 to 3 times a week, about 3 hours each time.
    my favorite string is BG66 @ 26lbs. but always break less than a month so i gave up on using it. now my second favorite is BG68TI @26lbs. lasts 1-1/2 month to 2 month.
    also the better you get, the fast string breaks. haha because hit the same sweet spot more consistently and harder.

    After two attempts for BG 66 @ 28lbs, it last longer than my precious tension @ 26lbs which could lasted only 2-3 sessions.

    Happy Badminton.

    My strings use to last me a month and a half at most. However, since I started stringing my own rackets, I have rarely broken any strings. A good and bad thing for me now. Good in a sense that I don't have to go through many strings. Bad in a way that I don't really have the need for my own stringing machine.

    im using the good old BG-65 on my TI-6
    i play 1nce a week for approx. 3 hours.I had the string for over 2 years already actually.But still i hit hard only occasionally,not much of a powerhouse you can say.i never actually had time to restring it since i have no ride. It feels like i lost about 3+lbs of tension X.X
    It has a slit that goes in 1/3 of the way into the string at the top of my frame but that lasted for about a year already.

    Oh!any1 use BG-9 before?It broke on me after 2 months.Thats when i got my BG.65
