Sorry to say it, but the truth is the exact opposite of what you stated. Since he is powerful enough to generate fast swing speed with a head-heavy racket, he gets considerably more power with that setup than with an even-balanced racket. Look it up in this forum too: head-heaviness=power.
heh good thing i still remember where i read that. take a look: thread: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=89469 post stating what i stated: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showpost.php?p=876264&postcount=32
tennis players use lead tape to enhance their performance. they are thin pieces of lead that they tape onto their tennis racket at different places. 15g is the mass or amount used.
Thin strings bite into the shuttle deeper, giving more power and more control than thick strings. TH will never use thick strings-he needs thin strings for his fabulous net play, spinning the shuttle that makes it unplayable. If TH were to use thick strings his net play will be even worse than LD's. Without his net play TH will be very ordinary. LD has switched over to TH's type of racquet (AT700). Perhaps he should also switch over to the type of string TH uses.
wtf? TH will be ordinary without his bg66? did I read that correctly? you're really letting your imigination run free with you... there's no universal standard for equipment choice..TH chooses this, LD the other..what's the deal?
Sorry, but I like to support my opinions in facts, otherwise we can be decepting ourselfs. You are talking about a top player. In logical terms, you don't think that if he detects his smash power was decreasing, because of nanogy 95, he will not change the string!? All that is done in badminton is to decrease the effort spent. So, if there is a string that will result in more power with less effort, the palyers should prefer it, independently of his strenght.
we can argue all we want and still, probably nobody would have all the right answers here if the issue is WHO has the correct analysis or data, then we go directly to LD and TH for proof. else, we are all on the same boat. cheers.
it's absolutely wrong.. Preference of string based on his playing style, string with most power not always match with every player style, there's much more important than power, it's called technique. Even u have a thunder smash, there is a opportunity that the smash will be returned. TH much rely on his net playing, so he choose bg-66. Basically playing badminton isn't just about power, smash, repulsion, string, etc.... u need to train so hard about technique and playing strategy that suit ur playing style and stamina, then u may choose the equipment that suit ur performance
Almost every string is compatible with several options in the game. I mean that for instance LD used bg65 and with that string he smash an did also the net. The bg-66 is not especialy good for the net; it can be also used to smash successfully. Obviously that the string choices depend on the personal preferences, but we was talking about which is the best string. If we say that the equipment depends on the personal choices and point, so it is not possible to talk about anything! For instance Dinkalot considers the the best is bg-85. With this string you smash but also do net play.
Humm, I see. In that case its not necessary to have any racionality in the analysis. Its only necessary to guess; but in that case probably will be better a sorcerer forum instead a badminton forum
Nope, not BG85; I give BG80 the edge because for me, it's more powerful and lasts longer. BG85 gets the edge in control/feel, but it's minimal.
sorcerer forum?? in here, we give each analysis based on our experience, not guessing and each of us have personal idea, and that idea does'nt always the same between each other, that's why this forum exist to accomodate each of idea from different people
1. there is no the best string, each string made for different orientation based on playing style 2. i think dink consider bg-80 as the better string than anything else, might be he loves to smash so often, bg-85 gives u a better control but not last long for holding string tension (that's in my past experience), for power still bg-65ti and bg-80 for me
Well i was speaking to Tracey (hallam) a couple of weeks ago, she said she used the BG65 strings because they had a 'lighter feel' than the others. Also they give grip to the shuttle when slicing, unlike 65ti's that have a titanium coating, as do bg80', this coating doesn't give grip however it makes the string more durable.
agree with silfuyono that what we post here are based on our own PERSONAL experiences. i believe this forum is for us to learn from one another and not to prove somebody is wrong. 2nd, we can call on rationality in cases where all variables in an experiment are the same, except maybe, one. and that, my friend, in this case, is our OWN bodies and minds. case in point? let's assume that the ns9000 is the most advanced racket in the world. it is therefore RATIONAL that all badminton players will benefit using that model. but why is it that some pros are still using MPs and ATs? in the same way, we are all entitled to our own opinions and experiences.
bg80 has no ti coating i think most pros aren't techncially astute as we think. Of course, they do know what's good and work for them, and that's fine enough.
