    Those are crazy excellent playability and durability ratings... not to mention crazy tension retention. I can surely attest to all that...

    PS, So no more ZM62, being replaced by 62 Fire,
    nor ZM60 that I tested... :(

    Surprisingly it is indeed more durable than old 62. Anyone who liked old 62 but for its fragility should give this new 62 Fire a try. Most definitely.

    I'm sure it is. New technology in a string would help I'm sure. But that gauge and that durability claim. I would kill that claim instantly

    Blasphemy. I'll do it hitting clean just because it takes me a month to break 0.68 strings

    They've not left any potential for improvement. Unless they go to 11...

    would love to try the new ZM62 fire. I strung my racket with ZM62 recently and absolutely love it (more than BG66 UM).

    And why wouldn't you just get the 66? It got tens in both columns:D.

    Because some customers requested thin, some thick. Wouldn't want them to notice they have the same writing on their strings ;)

    Probably repulsion/durability etc?

    Yeah, they can't be all 10's everywhere. But I'll say each parameter certainly will depend on how hard you hit and the tension used..whether durability, repulsion, playability, etc.

    For my lowish tensions of 23-25 lbs and weak arm, 60/62 certainly gives me the most amazing repulsion and feel.

    Duckfeets string stock just increased by 660m. At least 40 of that to be passed on, but busy weekend ahead :)

    Not sure if stringer's world stock it but they post internationally. I will ask goode sport if they do as well.

    69wh rougher than 66wh. I've done 2 customer racquets, 7 more to do and then I can do my own racquets. Spoilt for choice but I need to test white vs orange of the same gauge. Then 62@24 vs 66@26 vs 69@28.

    Weaving is very easy but due to softness 66wh is a bit annoying for shared holes that I didn't widen. Not as bad as ashaway powergut though! But I wouldn't like to string this right after bg80/vs850...

    Also sent a few packs out to fellow stringers.

    66 white is soft? Is that Power or non (ie. Control)?

    Control. Goode only stocking control version. Power must be unstringable!

    Don't string BOTH racquets Mark...
