BTW, to all the forumers who had manage to try the BG66 Maxima, one simple question What is the TENSION LOSS for BG66Maxima like ? Is it better or as bad as BG66 Ultimax ...? So far, I have not read anyone commenting on this aspect, perhaps the string breaks before any tension loss is noticeable ?
Do keep us updated on "tension loss" / retention in comparison to BG66 UM ... I am still searching for a local stockist in Klang Valley (Msia) area.
I have found all the answers to my questions while reading through the BG66 Ultimax thread hahahaha .... http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/89398-Yonex-BG-66-Ultimax?highlight=bg+66+ultimax

I'll check tension loss via n track tuner when I receive it. I used to play with it and it was awesome. Broke both sets after a couple months playing plastic, 3-4 hours/week.
I don't have BG85 but I have BG80 since it's my go-to. BG66M doesn't feel as hard as BG80 and the repulsion is better with BG66M. The texture isn't as rough but it doesn't feel slippery like NBG95/98. Haven't tested durability yet since I don't break strings often. I remember when I first had this string, it took about 1-2 months for them to break from hitting a drive. I usually play 2-3 times a week, 2-3 hours per session. But that was before I started stringing for myself, which usually lasts longer than giving it to another stringer. BG66M will never be good value for money. It should not cost $12USD per pack.
Zymax will always be better value for money. For me though I get a lot better performance out of BG80 (NOT BG85). I've only heard that BG85 and BG80 are similar, some people even saying BG85 is a better version of BG80. Tension holding on Zymaxes are better.
Hi All, Any one had tired the pink color BG 66 Maxima string? How it feel as compare to the white color? Please advise.
