Am using BG68ti(which is similar) on my voltric 5 @24lbs and I play plastic shuttle. It is good for playing, but the string position moves on hitting the shuttle hard.
Planning to try BG66UM next!![]()
I am currently playing with a voltric 5 which is factory strung with BG55 (it's a bit like BG65 I think). If i would change to Nanogy 95 or BG80, would that cause me to hit the shuttle out more often because of the higher repulsion?
very difficult/impossible to calculate loss of tension over time, I asked the same question when I first started stringing a few years ago, am surprised the manufacturers don't supply the information for stringers.
Just got a Apacs Lethal 10 last week and strung with BG66 at 25 lbs. I found it was too much repulsion and less accurate control than my previous racket Flypower Natuna 02 (same string, same tension but lighter - about 83g), although it generates more power too.
The same force that I apply to the Apacs Lethal 10 and previous racket felt quite different especially when I hit back, mainly facing too much repulsion on defending from a smash and less accuracy.
Is restring it with higher tension (27lbs) and/or restring with other string (need suggestions, eg. BG66UM?)

lethal flexibility is off the charts, so a thicker string with higher tension would work. i had a lethal 8 and i used to string gosen gpro70 at around 28lbs. or a vs890 at around 26lbs.
i have tried bg65ti pink color with lethal 8.
feel was okayish, but nothing special. yes, it will wean out any extra repulsion youre experiencing.
