    Probably Sony changes to VT70 due to Arc Z Slash gives him yoyo performance.. But still nothing big so far delivered by Sony...Hope he could regain back his confidence & performance...

    kwun, I am suggesting that it probably is a good idea to sticky this due to the amount of information posted on this thread..

    Does anyone know if any professionals use BG68Ti at all? Seems to me there aren't any pros using this string.

    I'm surprised that there are still quite a few pros using BG65 given it's such an old string now.

    I was wondering that myself. I asked some Canadian National females at the Canada Open they told me around 26-28 depending on the string. A Chinese Hong Kong player, Yip Pui Yin, told me that she used 28. But these are national/low level international players. Not sure if I helped

    Likely lining. The lining Chinese team doesn't show up much on the string charts because we've only looked at Yonex, and now more recently Victor.

    Not the foggiest - we only did the Victor players. And not even all of those - we didn't see anything from Fernaldi or Son W.H.

    how come some of the players have an extra couple of pounds diff on the crosses whereas some don't?! I have read in the past about extra couple of pounds on the crosses but don't know the benefits or whether to start doing it or not......my rackets always come off the stringing machine at the same shape as before stringing.....
