    1) will there be any counterfeit yonex string too ? --- Yes, definitely. In fact, a lot in the market.
    2) i think the quality won't be so lousy...as you guys said.. just for 2 weeks --- Its the nature of the string, mostly due to its thickness (0.65mm), normally it starts to lose tension slowly after 2 weeks.

    :eek::eek::eek::eek: Even an Imported JP coded one we sell is only RM50 each including Peninsular courier charges.
    RM69.... its not ONE packet right?
    Market price for a SP coded BG66UM is roughly around RM30-35 including stringing cost.

    Well... that's almost DOUBLE he earned...

    tried JP & SP coded 66UM, better durability and slightly more solid feeling for the JP.
    But tats my own personal feeling bout it and the rest might have different opinions on it.

    The cost of bg66um at most is around 30rm max. So, whoever sold you + stringing cost must have cut your throat big time. ;)

    xD lucky i didn't string my racket from my coach.. i just ask the string performance cause i saw many people complaint about this BG66UM not good..

    i had my nanospeed strung BG66UM with 26lbs around 5 months ago.. can feel the tension had losen but still ok for playing.

    strung my fleet F-99 with 26 lbs together that day i bought my arcsaber 10, strung with 27lbs.. playing till now almost 5 weeks.. still ok.. still can feel the freshy sound xD and smell..

    means, i think i still will stick to BG66UM.. but i might want to try the JP coded.

    Anyone has compared BG66UM ( not JP version ) with Victor VS-850? how's the repulsion+tension loss?
    Actually i'm quite happy with VS-850.. it's just the tension loss that makes me want to search for another string..

    Wow! I love bg66um, by far the best string i have came across imo, but had to stop using them as they would snap after 2-3 sessions and all of the other centre strings frayed. I only had them strung at 24lb by very reputable stringer.
    My questions to you is how on earth did you get these strings to last five months rather than 1 week? and why do you use such a high string tension when you must not hit that hard? or am i missing something/got summit wrong?

    about two hours or less- usually doubles on 2 nights for two hours and singles one night for 1 hour.

    Wow that is great 2 months, no string i have used has lasted that long never mind bg66um. Still alanwong76 got them to last five months which must be some kinda record. Whats your trick then?

    My housemate strings my racquets, sticking with BG80 for now because they're a bit more durable than 66UM which lasted only 1 2 hour session with me.

    Lasted for 2 month for me with my VT 70, tension 23/25 lbs, played for 6hrs per week, I noticed mostly my string snap at far side of the frame. Just need to improve to hit birdie more accurate at sweetspot and it could prolonged the string life ( in my opinion) btw I always restring my rackets after 3 months.
