    Firstly, have you looked over Dinkalot's string review? That should give you an idea.

    http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38509

    Secondly, you should tell us what string just broke on your racket.

    Search in the string section. There should be many discussions on different strings.

    Personally, I like BG-80.

    BG 70, ultra durable.

    I broke my Apacs strings, forget what it is called. I checked the review. I was thinking of the NBG95, but it too numb for some people. I've tried BG80 and BG66, good power but low durability.

    Try Victor V 650.... more durable than BG 66, and feels nearly similar to BG 66.

    Had BG80s on my new AT900T, broke within 1 hour of use....

    BG65s are the overall best IMO.

    Well according to what I've read around the forums, the reason for this is either that the stringer did a bad job, or your smashes are off point. But I do agree that BG65 is a great string I've been using since I started playing

    Gosen pro 70 is also a good string. This string is similar to BG-80 except it's 0.7mm. Still, the repulsion is pretty good.

    Yea. I had the racket shipped from Hong Kong to Canada... Pressures and Humidity change must have been a factor.
