    A thicker string will not have better playability or power as a thinner string, AOTBE. It can only be more durable. In fact you can check this with Ashaway or any string manufacturer.
    Colors do affect playability, because of pigments and dyes and where applied. Pigments will give more durability but dyes are better in playability but not so good in durability. If a string, which is considered thicker, is of the same gauge than another string, then it either uses pigments or has a thicker coating or both, which has adverse effects on playability.

    I just placed an order at stringersworld for Zymax 62. Based on your own purchase, how many days it took to receive the item (especially for those in southeast asia)?

    im anxiously waiting for my zm67 on my c7 to break so i can try zm65 on my other c7... but this thing just wont pop! it seems like its gonna pop anytime but it just wont. its been more than 3 months for sure and i play quite often.

    im debating whether i should get zm62 and zm70...considering i have 10+ packs of zm67 lol

    I'm finding the darn ZM67 almost impossible to break. I finally broke one after over 2 months of use.

    I don't know how you can break strings so often. Perhaps you gotta stop having so many mishits? ;) :p

    24.5lbs obviously (typo-)
    Babolat Sensor is able to do .5 increments in lb, and .1 increments in kg.
    The top Yonex machine is not able to do this afaik.

    Why not ? Wise 2086 can do it and I suspect a lot of machines can too.

    24.6 lbs is totally possible :p

    If you compare BG66U with ZM65, u see the diff. ZM65 is much more thicker

    You really won't, the weight is not enough to effect it enough to notice the change
