I started playing again recently after few years of hiatus. The last time I sent my racket for a restring job was perhaps more than 3 years ago I'm looking to restring my carbonex with a good tension holding and hard feeling string. What current strings fit my need? Non yonex suggestions are welcomed
Yonex BG80 hardest feeling, tension retention on the better side Gosen G-Tone 5 still quite hard feeling, loses tension and playability over time Li Ning No. 1 I'll let others comment on this until I've tried it again Adidas Überschall F66 medium hard feeling, keeps tension and playability, but not as durable as BG80 or even G-Tone 5, but a string that impressed me
To add to the above Yonex Aerobite boost - less of a hard feel than BG 80 but more power, feel can be hit or miss depending on person Victor VBS 68 Control - better tension retention than BG80, almost as hard Victor VBS 66 Nano - Never played with it but heard it had one of the best tension retention and hard feeling for a 0.66mm string
Li Ning No.1 Boost if you can get it. As lively as BG80 and good tension retention. BG80 Power More hard-core than BG80 and retains tension pretty well.
In descending order: -Aero Bite Boost (8 months @ 30lbs, sat idle throughout covid but still plays great 8months later). -NBG95 -Li Ning No.5 -BG80 or BG80P if initially strung >31. ^ is truth, I find #1 rubbish, and a soft non repulsion string in general. In my own experience, BG80P is softer than BG80P, but hits much harder >28lbs (wins by a mile at 31).
