    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to buy a reel of the most durable string possible. More durable than BG65 or BG55. What do you guys recommend?

    Cheers!

    Gosen 70 Pro. I'm still not sure if it's any more durable than BG65, but it's a lot cheaper (by half), it's my go to economic string that at least isn't generic that I use for my students.

    I know someone who breaks Ashaway 70 quite easily because of intentional slicing. He got his racket strung with Ashaway rally 21 strings and it seems to keep going for him.

    Ashaway Zymax Fire 69 - when the universe comes to an end, all that'll be left are black holes... and a few rackets with ZF69 in them.

    I have a couple customers that break this string in just a couple weeks, when they bring it back, the fraying makes it look like it has been used for a couple years!!! Always the same 2-3 guys.

    It never breaks from off center hits though.

    I wish people here even understood that plastic shuttles are not the "real" shuttles :( Most people just think feathers are the old technology :D

    It's not about plastic shuttles, I have a few customers that break ZM69 quite quickly with feather. Bg65 or even Ti-70 holds much better for them, even NBG99 lives longer.

    Li-Ning No.7. I play with these at 32 pounds and have only broken one set in the past year. They become a little dull after a while like all heavy strings but they can't be beat for durability. I had one set at 34 pounds on my N9. It was too much tension for me to handle, but the strings did not break

    Ashaway Rally 21 or Microlegend XL, I hate both.
