    Just choose the most durable string possible, and work on skill improvement.

    You cant improve much worrying about this and that all the time.

    That's why I use bg65 :D:p

    I have tried the nanogy98, it has a even greater replusion then BG80!! although the only disadvantages is that it is quite expensive.....

    Hmmm, I don't see being as repulsive as BG80, though I strung it a bit tighter than usual. Also, like NBG95, have to let it set it a bit to get optimum performance. I'll hit more with 98 tomorrow and see what happens. The sound of the string is very nice though, on par with the best sounding strings.

    Yooo...it'll be good to get a comparison between NBG95 and NBG98 from you or anyone. My string is gonna burst any moment and will like to try the new NBG string. BTW, what's the average price for both?

    try bg-80 at 24-25lbs, it should produce a very impressive sound and force upon impact.

    Just strung my AT900-T with Nanogy 98 2 days ago, it was strung to 24 lbs, first impression is that it is a very stiff string compared to the BG68Ti, it transfers a lot of shock through the racket to the hand, however, the feel of the bird is much improved. It is very repulsive and sounds sweet! Even though it is quite expensive compared to the BG66, it will be worth it if it is as durable as Yonex states. That's all for now, I will play more with it and share some more about it later on.

    strung my Fleet Nano Power 9000 racket with NBG95 more than a month ago, control and power is great even at 22 lbs., feels better and better by the day!

    There is a BG58? Hummm.
    BG66 is great for smasher if you don't mind restring 2~3 racquets after every time you play. The string break too easy. That way, the tension is always good.

    In case the string do not break, you I would say restring BG66 every 2~3 week due to the tension drop. BG80 & BG85 will last at lease 1 month for me.

    Your string should break every week if you are a smasher. If not, you're not smashing hard enough. ;) :p

    Good day Everyone! I am a hard hitter either tab or smash :) currently i m using yonex cab21-power stringed BG68Ti at 26lb. Felt not as good as previously using BG66 due to BG68Ti string always split after i smash !!

    I am thinking of restring BG80 at 27lb, will it be too high tension for my cab racket?

    I'd appreciate if any one can comment on this or perhaps recommend :) Thx in adv

    For your info, i have my nano speed 5000, stringed BG66 at 27lb. No difficulty for hitting baseline but hard to control dropshot. :cool:
