How is durability of the Zymax 62 Fire in comparison to BG80? My newly strung LN N55 with the orange ZM62F looks very nice Can't wait to play with it. Hopefully it will last longer. But I guess the thinner the string the less forgiving it is when you totally mishit a shuttle :/
Recommended Tensions... A bit of background information, I've been using 66f for awhile now (love it) and just finished my first reel. I've been feeling pretty comfortable @ 25lbs (24 main, 26 cross) + 10% prestretch (wise 2086 on gamma 602fc). I'm usually playing feather and tend to play with slightly head heavy medium flex 4u racquets. My questions are this, 1) I have a package of 66 fire power, should I change tension for this string? 2) I also have a reel of 62 fire, do I modify my tension when going to a thinner string?
1lb less for 62 fire for me. I expect both variants of 66 would need same tension but I've not tried 66fp yet.
Thanks visor and DuckFeet. I'm going to try 23/25 then and maybe even 22/24 as I'm wanting to experiment with something a little less tight On a sad note, I just pulled my Adidas Adipower Pro out of my bag only to realise it is broken I remember playing with it a few weeks ago and thinking, this doesn't feel right but a quick look at it and it looked fine and the quick palm strike to listen for any odd sounds also sounded fine
I have gotten the chance to buy Zymax 66 Fire & Zymax 62 Fire at limited stock at quite a bit better prices than goodesports sells them for. I would be willing to simply pick up a few reels and sell them to ppl in here for no profit.. The price i will get them at is €100 (Which is £71), the price would naturally be + shipping from Denmark. *EDIT* Just got word, that the regular Zymax series (65, 67, 70) is available aswell for €90 which is also a great price!
I have been playing with Lining NS70 for years (tried NS30 found it too hard, NS95 quite okay but like NS70 more). I like it more than any Yonex i've tried (and Zymax 62 which i don't really like it). But I can't find them easily now and i want to try something else. Anyone play with Lining string before? From my track record should i try Zymax 66 Fire first? or Zymax 66 Fire Power or 62 Fire will likely fit me better?
Finally got my reel of ZM62 Fire. I can't wait so I'm cutting the still somewhat fresh NBG99 on one of my BS12s. Will find out tonight how it feels. feels like Christmas.
That's the great thing about trying out new strings... for less than $20 (the cost of string and labour), you (hopefully) get more power and feel from your current racket.
Strung it at 30/32, played with feathers and I'm a big fan now. Everything felt really good, the control was excellent. With plastics everything sucked. So I think I'll keep one racquet with NBG99 25/27 or 26/28 just for plastics (until I run out of NBG99). ZM62F is going to be my go to string from now on. Also, the ZM62F seems to slide around as much as NBG99.
Yeah. Since I string for myself, I can be more willful in my string changes. I just hope the flavour of the ZM62F doesn't go stale as fast as NBG99. But if the ZM62 is any indication,
Actually I switched from BG80 @30/32 to ZM62 MK130/31 and I'm impressed. Actually I can get a decent deal for the Fire range. Can't decide between 62Fire and 66Fire. Any suggestions?
I normally use BG80 but have just had my rackets strung with 66Fire. I was very pleased. Felt like I got more power and durability didn't seem to suffer. Only strung @25 though.
Had a hit with the 66 Fire Power this morning - really nice string - great feel and repulsion. Was really getting used to and and thought id found a replacement from the BG80 - sadly the string went after just an hour and half play Strung at 26 x 28 on a JS10 so should have been able to handle that tension!
It does feel great! I just strung mine 26 x 28 on my BRS LYDS IT feels pretty rough but not as rough as bg 80? & also tried Zymax 62 25x27 way too tight LOL...
I wasn't so impressed with 66fp. But that was in direct comparison to 62f. So it could only describe it as OK.
