    Tried it on astrox 77, loving it. Repulsion is excellent, looking durable as well

    Looking back in my emails, it was third week of Oct and April. So you got some ways to wait...

    Man, this string plays great but somehow it SUCKS! It hardly ever breaks so I have to REMEMBER to cut it after a month and a half and restring or it will start to play a little bit less awesome. I cannot handle this much responsibility!

    Purely in the power department, 66um / no.1 / BGAS win imho. Especially 66um seems to unleash some weird extra power I never knew I had on it's first and second day xD

    yeh but I have never liked the grip of No. 1 in the tension that I play (27-29 ). Most of the times I feel the shuttle just skids on it. 66 um dies too fast for me. Actually, I should have said that in totality, I like the GT5 to provide me the best of all worlds, especially in the tension I can play with. it provides good grip, good life and good power too.

    Got my pink salmon reel. It is less pink and more bright red than I expected . Will dress up n9-2 soon with it.

    Indeed. It is pretty much good at everything which is a wonderful thing to have if you aren't @swsh the idiot changing it every few days to a week.

    Hahaha... man, in the range that you get your string strung at, I don't believe any string can last long and perform the same throughout. I once got BG80 strung at 29 and had to stop playing for a week after that . ;)

    I'd have cried about the tension being lower than usual. :p

    Seems the gosen distributer has changed things around and since there are no middkemen now they've revised the prices 0.o

    G Tone 5 & 9 for 300 a packet for a pack of 4. I wonder if that makes it the cheapest 0.65 in the country lol

    Yes, the prices are insane ... After getting the pink reel of GT5, thinking to get the blue also ... And also the custome edge - K. Let's see. Our club is closed for a month so not getting many games ..

    I may get crap for this from some but I'd much rather an Inferno EX than Type K tbh.

    That'd be equivalent to 3.3 GBP.

    Packets are 4.50gbp here. I'll keep hoping for 3.3...
