Since you have some experience, 24lbs would be a good starting point. And you can adjust up/down on the next restring.
The serious string in small diameter is BG 66 Ultimax (or the newer Force which Iv not tried yet). Definitely NOT a dull string.
66UM starts out great, then loses a big part of its feeling as the tension drops. First week is a blast, after that, it's...okay. I prefer the Bg80 since it's more steady - it doesn't start with the same feeling, but it lasts so much longer...stays playable pretty much forever.
Hi J4ckie, If U pre-stretch the BG66UM and string a little higher than U play. Then use the racket for heat ups only for a while until the string evens out, it stays the same throughout mostly until it breaks. At 27Lb say about 6-8 weeks (3 x /wk). personal experience.
yes, same string bg80, At 25lb tension, I feel the birdie flies faster in my clears and smash compare to 23lb. Weird?
Hmm! probably due to an effect of change. Now that U know the tension is higher U hit harder; harder than necessary to compensate for the additional 2Lbs. Then U hv the reserves to go higher still. Good Game and happy new year.
D Damn, shopkeepers in my country almost always grip my racquets at 26 without asking. My coach has gotten mine strung at tension 28. Never knew there was a certain string tension that suits each person. Will try out your experiment
