Professionals and their strings

This list surprised me a bit. A lot of the top tier players use BG65 and BG65 TI (lot more than I expected at least) and only three (in this list) use the BG80, something I expected more players may be using. I thought may be reason is that since these players use such high string tensions, they'll be needing a higher gauge string but lo and behold, the BG 80 guys are stringing theirs at even higher tensions :eek:

Yeah, I was a bit surprised by that as well. I expected a lot more players to be using the BG80. The BG80 tends to be very popular with European players.
 
Has anyone got stringing details of players sponsored by other brands? Say Victor for Korean team and Li Ning for China?

Would like to know what strings/tension the Korean team are using especially LYD/YYS and also the top Chinese players.

Judging by the number of breaks last week, 40 lb...

From memory, LYD has about 34, but that's at least two years old.
 
From Victor Webpage: Korea/Indoesia & Taiwan Players String and tension

4) Kim Jae Sung MX JJS , VS 850 , Tension 31
5) Li Sheng Mu , VS800, Tension 33
6) Cai jia xing , VS 800 , Tension 31
7) Tai Zu ying , VX 800, Tension 27
9) Kim Sa Rang MX 80/90 , VS 850, Tension 31
10) Ahmad Tontowi , Jetspeed orange , VS850 , Tension 31
11) Liyana Nasir , BS 12L , BS850 , Tension 30.
 
I Heard rumours outside that although li ning has new string now , No 1, 5 and 7 string. Most of the china players still stick to BG 65 and 66 UM.

also what does main do and what does cross do? is main the most important than cross?

Just do a little bit of research in the forum and you will find this:

...and if you spend some time reading through, it will answer all of your questions.

And before we enter the same loop once more: No, it will not make that significant difference in generating power if you have 30x30 or 30x32 lbs. tension.
