Good Hitting Sound, Replusion, Holds Tension and Good Durability. Will Be Strung In 26 x 25 lbs. Strings I Tried 66um, 62fire, 64tx, aerobite, bg 66, aerobite boost.
All the criteria mentioned above will be holy grail for strings, which so far almost non existent. However if you would like to sacrifice a little on durability and possibly hitting sound, you may want to try BG80. It has superb repulsion, hold tension very well, decent hitting sound, but wont be as durable as bg65 or li ning no.7 but more durable compared to bg66um. BG80 also has hard feeling from the vectran technology within the string. Personally i liked the hard feeling from this string. I can feel the shuttles in contact on the stringbed. However, some people may not like hard feeling string due to possible vibration while hitting the shuttles. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Li-ning no.1 is 0.65mm thick and personally i feel it is pretty similar to bg66um. I only used no.1 once, did not really like it. Bg66um is better for me (personal opinion). Whereas BG80 is 0.68mm thick, have great repulsion, and great tension retention. *all opinion above is based on personal preference. Others may have different opinion on strings. Best thing is that you may want to do trial and errors until you find the right string for your liking. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
yeah i know i hated the trial and errors thing because i dont frequently break strings unless strung at high tension.
Not try yet aerobite, aerosonic or ln no.1. Still satisfied with BG66um jp code @27lbs four knots for all of my racket with same stringer and machine. Compare bg80, bg66, bg66f, nbg98. imo. it's medium to a bit soft feeling, good control and repulsion with extra crisp *ting sound bonus at the first 12 hours playing. durability can survive approx. up to 30hrs playing totally by alternate use the racket
Both racket & string are a very personal choice. One might like a racket yet other might not like it & so does the string. Even some who like the same racket might have different string preference. But basically if you love high repulsion & able to hit the sweet spot constantly, going for thin string (LN.1, BG66UM) wont be much problem & you dont need to worry much for its durability. But ofcourse thicker string will always last longer. Today i use BG66UM or LN.1. For durability LN.1 is better than BG66UM, for performance is kinda simillar but LN.1 abit slipery. Im myself also interest to try some other thin string actually like Zymax 66F, Victor VBS66N. Read alot of review & see both hate & love, so i guest try it myself would be best. But be warned..... Once you enter the thin string region, its hard to get out...
I feel bg 80 is one of the middle ground for repulsion and durability. It is definitely not gonna be as repulsive as thin strings, but it is stiffer and have good tension retention, and pretty textured compared to bg66um and li ning no.1. Bg80 tends to be pretty consistent throughout its lifespan with minimal tension loss compared to 66um and no.1. Earlier you mentioned that you tried aerobite boost. Bg80 do feels similar to that or even better. I used both strings and feel that bg80 is better compared to aerobite boost imo. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
If you like the BG66UM, try the LiNing No1. If not, try BG80. If you like the BG80, you can also try the BG80 Power and the Aerobite Boost.
I tried zymax66. I will never use it again. Terrible overall feel. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
66 fire power, the upgraded version of 66 fire. Personally, i find it better than the 66 fire but that could be just me. Sent from my JSN-L22 using Tapatalk
Ive tried aerobite boost. Its good for people who strung it at high tension and loses tension quickly.
