    I'm just wondering what would be a good tension for the Arc10 and what kind of strings. Right now I'm thinking about 25lbs and BG80. I play evenly between precision shots and smashes, so let me know what you suggest! :)

    I would suggest you start a bit lower (at around 22lbs) and then if you feel like you're generating too much power+having very little control, then maybe up to 25lbs. If 22lbs is still too tight for you (I doubt that), drop your tension to 20lbs.
    BG80 is a good string to stick with.

    I play with BG65@24lbs at the moment, but I don't seem to like it as much. I played with bg80@26lbs but that seemed like a bit much so I thought I'd ask.

    Right now I play with BG65 @ 24lbs. I don't really like it as much, so I'm planning to switch it up which is why I'm asking :p.

    I play with BG65 @ 24lbs. I can't explain why but it doesn't feel right :p my shots going where I intend to get them to, and my smashes are off. I tried a BG80 nano6K @ 25lbs and it was kind of what I'm looking for.
