    This Lining AP .64 Rainbow string seems to be the most underrated string. I have been using this for over an year now and I can say the below remarks

    Comes in dual or multiple-colour

    Hitting Sound: 9
    Repulsion: 9.5
    Durability: 8
    Feel: mildly hard
    Tension withstand: impeccable!!!
    Stung: @26lbs
    Control: very good.

    With plastic shuttle it survives for more than 2 weeks for hard hitting.. relaxed play will give u for more than a month or 2 before snapping. With feathers I would say even better if ur using it.

    Before the lockdown I stung it and played for a weeks time in my 88d and after that over a period of 5 to 6 months no play and it had retained the tension and then played for one full month before it snapped!!

    To me this is the best string in comparison with bg66um, bg80power. Now all my rackets are stung with this dual colour. Ur fav racket can match the colour combinations also along with power and potential!!

    I was a bg66um and bg80power string user for quite a long time before I changed myself to this string

    Tested 3 different colour combinations with 0.64 gauge rainbow strings strung on the same model of rackets strung at 28 lbs without pre strech

    My personal review

    1. Feel - Medium to Medium Hard

    2. Control - Absolutely Poor compared to Ultimax or BG 80 or Lining No 1 .. Will give 2 out of 10 rating

    3. Repulsion Power - 5 out of 10

    4. Durability - 6 out of 10

    5. Tention Retention - 5 out of 10

    6. Sound - 6 out of 10

    Better to go with Lining No 1 string if you are Lining Fan

    BG 66 Ultimax or BG 80 of you are a Yonex Fan

    I personally felt Gosen G Tone 5 is a jack of all trades and currently shifted to G tone 5 for the past 6 months after being fed up testing different strings at different tensions .

    Was a long time user of BG 80 and Lining No 1 and BG 65 Titanium
    Strings strung anywhere between 27 lbs to 31 lbs .

    Hope this helps .

    Don't even recommend to give it a try as you will end up cutting the strings in less than a week or so if they aren't busted .
