Hi guys, from your experience, which string retains the most tension after a long time of play? I'm currently using BG66UM and BG66F.. Which one of those 2 retains the most and what other strings can retain longer with about the same specs?
You can try Li-Ning No.1 or No.3. I personally feel these 2 string retention much better than yonex BG66. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
My vote goes to Li-Ning No. 1, if you prefer thicker strings try BG80. Those two are really good. BG66UM is the perfect negative example for string retention.
I using No.3 (0.63mm) all now. Strung at 28lbs. No.1 is 0.65mm string. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
Be noted some string color will cause the string to run off when smash. White color is the best. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
Ah ok. Yeah, I'm currently using BG66UM strung at 25lbs and after 2 days of games, it lost about 0.5lbs
I think I will use 25 or 25.5lbs. I just increased from 24 to 25 on Thursday so.... but thanks for the advice. Oh and do I have to ask the stringer to pre-stretch the string? Or no pre-stretch
Ok. If you stay at east side, you can try Smashing Max at bedok. Good string service. Close on Tuesday. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
As I always say, BG 66UM is dead in like a week, 66F starts off dead. Neither string has good longevity. Also that 66UM will have lost more than half a pound in 2 days. It's probably lost more like 2.5lbs, if not a little more.
