My stringer always prestretch if I am not mistaken. Anyway, I currently have Bg80P and Bg66UM, both on BS11, and strung same day, both at 24lbs. Alternate playing both so the wear and tension loss on both should be pretty even. Its very obvious that the UM loses tension a lot faster than the 80P under similar usage.
I have just strung BG80 on my AT700LTD and tried out for 1week. Everything good for me, Very controlable and gives a lot of power on my smash. But Back court clear i need to hit harder to reach back court. :crying: Probably my wrist not strong enough :crying:
Try lowering the tension, I usually find that lower tensions with BG80 still keep the feel, while some other strings don't, and gives you a bit more power if you don't hit hard enough.
Thanks for ur suggestion. I'll give it a try. But i strung at26lbs. Do u think i should go for 24lbs ?
I am revisiting BG80 (previously used NG98). Nice feel to the string at 28lbs with prestretch. Still getting used to the feel on some mid court shots. Makes a nice smash sound - some guys asked me what strings were in the racquet.
I don't generally Mis hit anymore I play feather and plastic what should I string it at? Zm62 is the only zymax I like
I wouldn't recommend anything over 24lbs if you'll be hitting plastics with it. Since it's so thin, it feels like it's 2-3lbs higher than say BG66 or something else. But it's crazy fragile, hit hard enough on one mishit and it's gone.
I tried it at 23 lbs once :0 broke in two hours ! Bad idea to get zm 62 when I was so inconsistent...
Cheung, have you tried ZM62? It's an amazing string. I'm surprised more people in Asia haven't tried it, because it's more durable there than in North America due to the climate.
Haven't tried it. If I had my own machine again, I would try it out. Not really a fan of lower gauge strings as I do get mishits.
You're already using bg66um @ 27-28 lbs? Then you have to try zm62 @ 24-25 lbs. I promise you it won't break that easily at that low tension.
Trust me I'm not a power hitter (especially with my low grade shoulder impingement), am more of a control style. But this string has given me very easy crisp power and lots of feel and control. If you don't try it in the next 2 weeks, I'll get Eric or MBS to send you a set!
