I have bg80 24lb and I do not smash that hard but frequently. Will it break sooner if I smash more?
Since it is about BG 80, I have few questions that need the expertise of you guys to help me out. For some reasons, I cannot figure out the what's the problem with me? is it the racket? the string? or it is just me?
I prefer BG80 because it's somewhat rougher...
BG80 holds tension better as well, Bro...![]()
provided your grommets are in good condition and it has been strung by a competent stringer, it will almost never break.
BG 65 Ti was mainly for hard hitter, I thought I can or I will be a hard hitter, well...I guess I am NOT a hard hitter then, because I just can't get the power from it, but when I changed to other racket with BG 66 or BG 80, I just somehow get my power back.
I still suspect the shaft can affect my performance, the BG 65 Ti was strung with Nanospeed 800 - stiff shaft.
I am running 3 totally different rackets because I was still under the "try and error" category, I was testing which type of racket can improve my game play or other words, suit my style. Of course if I got the $$$, I would love to try all the high end Yonex series
Back to the topic, BG 80 or BG 66? myself tend to prefer BG 80, but as for repulsion, I think BG 66 is better right?
I prefer BG80 because it's somewhat rougher. Since you are doing trial/error, just restring the NS800 to BG66 (cheaper) and see if you like it. If you can play with other rackets, just use those rackets and be happy with your game.
Personally, I cannot play well with any armortec. I had a mixed reaction to the ARC10 but ditched it in favour of the ZELM after about 2 months trial. I got used to the ZELM only after about 3+ months of trial and now it's my main racket (partly because my wife uses my Cab30). Then again, with the roughness I treat my racket, the ZELM is a way better choice for me.
No problem for me not liking any of those other rackets... My opponents will never know. Likewise, if you can play with any racket/string, just use that and don't worry about others that doesn't suit you.
I'll give you a comparison in my own experience:can anyone describe their experience with the yonex bg80 along with the racket model and tension?
