    Of course I do have an idea; I've been using that string for at least half a year now and still haven't broken any yet, to show you the durability.

    BBE Shop should have it, while I've asked MBS and somehow they just don't. Another good option is Camel Sports, which I believe has the cheapest price of all.

    How does BG65P compare to other strings (BG66, BG85, NBG95)?

    Haha cuz the only people good enough to use the ArcZ are people who are good enough to play with 29lbs :D

    I play at 23, except for with my PP10000 and my modded T2, those are at 25. So I KNOW this racket is way outta my league.

    I play at 24 lbs, but I've never tried any higher... the dude at the stringing shop thought even 23 lbs was high :eek:

    Pulling high tension on Z Slash is a very bad idea(unless if you had a very strong hand).It is because of its small frame.It will cause a strong vibration.(27 feel like 29 already)
    BTW,Im really impressive with Z Slash when I tested it.It feel like you slicing the air ... Fuuuhhh!!So I decided to buy it!

    And the ZS is already supposed to have a tiny sweet spot, stringing it tighter makes it even smaller. Maybe if I strung it at 21 pounds it'd work. But then, what's the point of using a 200 dollar racket at 21lbs???

    Well got the Arcsaber Z Slash and it was so nice, I didn;t hit the frame much at all :p. I noticed my smashes were a lot stronger with this :p

    Bought an Arc Z and strung it at 28x30 lbs with BG65. Smashes, drop and clear are impressive and effortless, I don't have to use a lot of energy or movement to hit the birdie that fast (smash) and high (clear). Still working on the defense as I keep hitting the side frame, but not that bad (maybe due to slimmer shape of the head and also I used to use a 4U racket and Arc Z is 3U so the timing is a bit off). I have only used the Z for practice and half court practice as I am afraid to clash it when playing double ><'

    Used my Z slash strung at 26 lbs for 2 hours. I feel that it makes me more confident to go all out and play hard, smashes after smashes, drop shots and base to base clear. No problem getting used to it except for the first few mins and after that everything was smooth sailing. Will be testing it again this evening.
