    I would love to test the other strings not listed in my review and would pay for them. The problem is finding a store that has all the strings I need so I could buy them in one fell swoop.

    OK, next time we meet up, please prepare 3 sets of every string you can think of (and have) and tell me how much I owe you. :D

    In this order:

    1) Revise/update the overgrip review

    2) Comprehensive Cab info/review

    3) SOTX Woven review

    4) Shuttlecock review

    5) To be determined...

    I will be updating this tomorrow. And since the NGP (Nice, Gentle Panda) has rested, I will remove the panda background so you all can more easily view. :p

    Thanks Dan for the excellent string review - I am currently using the ashaway pg65 neon after reading one of your reviews and i am loving it.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this review.

    Great job man!

    BG-80 and BG-66 are my strings of preference and the Panda ratings are spot on. Except on durabilty, of course, since I'm no uber-power player like His Highness DinkALot. :)

    Congratulation "NGP" :)

    It's an All-in-one review, Now It will not be necessary anymore to look for several other reviews on BC, to have an idea of how string perform. Here it is. Great Job :) ;)

    As for babolat string, I can send any to you, if you are interested in trying them. Just let me know.
    I can have every string available from Babolat. (since I have an business agreement)

    Cheers - :)

    Thanks for the info! I couldn't find the Ti listed even on http://www.ashawayusa.com/ . I now see www.badminton.net has both of them. If anyone is interested, they have the MP 200m reels in Green and Purple colors on clearance at $59.

    What are the main differences between MP-TI and MP ???

    Since Dinkalot highly-ranked MP string in his review, I guess It would be a good idea to have a try with it. Yet MP-TI hadn't been tried ...
    But which string do you recommand me ? Which is the best in overall performance ?

    Thanks by advance - :)

    MP-Ti has been discontinued by Ashaway. Relatively speaking, they cited some durability issues. I had some from way back and it played differently then MP. I don't remember how different as I don't have any more.

    Go with the orange or blue MP. That's your safest bet. :)
