string and tension for cab 8000 light

string tension is a matter of preference. try mo 24-26lbs. that will give you a good balance of power and control. if you lose power or can't get enough height or distance on your clears/lob shots, lower it to maybe 23-24lbs.

 

BG65 at 22 or 23 lbs.
or BG80 at 21 or 22 lbs.

 

Hi Taz,

There is a recommended tension on the cone. I will go with the highest tension on the cone as starting point. BG65 is the standard for badminton string. You can not go wrong with it. If you ask me what my preference for a Cab8000 lt, my answer will be 20x22 lb or you can tell the stringer 22lb.

Good luck

 

i haven't tried SM north edsa nor trinoma. there's also chris sports in north edsa. the problem is they usually rotate their personnel who does the stringing. i used to bring my rackets to yonex in white plains before they closed it and the stringer got transferred to their store in eastwood. so, i followed the stringer to eastwood. later on he got trasnferred to d'zone in makati which is too far for me already so i tried out chris sports in kamuning. just like yonex, they rotate their personnel. i got tired moving around and following where my favorite stringer goes. i still bring my rackets to chris sports kamuming even if they change the stringer from time to time. so far they have done a good job naman. no complaints. by the way, they have a really nice stringing machine. pang professional talaga.

 

BG80 is better. It has more power. But it lasts about half as long as BG65.
