    i use bg80 this round for my BS12. Apparently it is losing tension faster comparing with 66 ultimax

    Mine BG 66 UM at 29lbs last only max 8 hours play. (offensive playing style)

    Just thought about change to BG 66, thicker string, hope can last longer.

    Lol I've had BG85 at 25lbs once, it lasted me just over 1/2 year; string itself didn't break, the racquet broke.

    Used to be a bit similar for me, with restringing on average every 3-4 months and rotating between three rackets to always play with the the one with the highest tension.

    I've had two Arcsaber10's strung with BG66Ultimax for around 3-4 months and they both broke this week. Not from mishitting or anything along those lines - they broke from fraying after having had 13 kg's of tension tearing them apart. Now after switching to my 80ET I can feel that the Arc's definently had lost some tension in those 3-4 months.
