    i already used the best string IMO bg-66, easy to find in my city:) , but for the tension is a little bit confused, so far 24lbs give me satisfied performance, but my other oval racket at 28lbs, already try ns9000x at 27lbs ---> poor performance, control was terrible, smash power weak:confused: :confused: next time i'll try between 26lbs or 28-29lbs:D

    Is bg-80 at 23-24 lb on a woven 13 good? Will i have alot of power and control then bg-80 at 19 lb? And since im a hard hitter and that my string pops in like 3 days... {both of them (bg-65ti @ 26lb and nanogy95 @ 21lb) will this last any longer?? cuz it'z odd having your tring ta pop in 3 days... so i so dont' want the bg-80 at 23-24lb to pop on me... help me out ^^ beside i'm using a bg-80 on my woven 13 at 19 lb.. is that good??

    #1, u want more power, string slightly higher but no higher than 24-26 i'd say.
    #2, you broke a nanogy at 21lbs in 3 days, what makes u think ur bg 80 gonna last longer when bg80 is thinner and has less durability than the nanogy
    #3, it shouldn't pop that quickly. are you sure ur grommets are in good shape and that you haven't been mishitting?
    #4, using plastic birds? go with bg 65 instead then, cuz plastic birds kills strings more easily than feather.

    Gosen Roots 5700; BG70Pro; 22lbs - Great repulsion/power
    Armortec 900 Power; Nanogy98; 22lbs - Awesome control despite low tension, also don't have to worry about snapping string with this racquet.

    Fleet Nano Pro 300, BG65, 23lbs - I know it's not a good racket nor string, but it works for me so far and doing pretty good. Mostly, it's about getting used to rackets that I prefer :D.

    Testing:
    Armortec 900 Technique, BG 68Ti, 25 lbs - will be getting it soon.

    Panda Power Trinity 2 with white Zymax 70 at 31 lbs; the best all-round combination I have ever tried by a country mile. I'll try 30/33 next time and see if it's any better.

    bg66 gives pretty good repulsion. So, any racket will do. ;)
