    I need some help on choosing the string and string tension for my voltric 70. I play doubles and am good at the back court. I play with plastics since that's what we use in high school tournaments. I can get any string as well so please give me your all your opinions :)

    BG80 (for hard feeling) ZM65 or BG80P (for medium feel). For plastics use around 22 lbs (unless you hit really hard, use 24), stringing higher for plastics doesn't make as a profound a difference than stringing high for feathers, the feel is lost on the plastic anyways.

    But I'm assuming you use feathers for such high tension.

    I use BG70PRO at 26lb on my vt70. Lasts long and pretty good feeling and power. I also play plastics only

    If you compare VT70 to the older Yonex higher end models, you'll see that VT 70 actually has a slightly thinner frame. So, don't go too high with the tension. I have had cracks on my VT 70s between 10 and 11 o'clock and 1 and 2 o'clock on different rackets.

    Not sure if newer models from Yonex are built with thinner frames (haven't ventured out to the new ones for a long while now) but VT 70 is definitely a fragile one. Perhaps I'm going a little too high at 30 and 32 lbs. But that's the tension on most of my Yonex - NS9900, AT900.
