    I find that quite hard to believe if it really was at 30. How powerful are they? 3 months is a long time and at 30 as well (less because of the massive drop No.1 goes through initially).

    Reasonably powerful, but they do prefer creating winning opportunities to just smashing outright.

    They don't slice much either then I assume? was the racket used for drills as well or swapped out for something else during it and kept for practise matches?

    Used for drills (unless heavy racket was used), they hit quite directly. Usually restrung it before a tournament.

    Bunch of those variables are pushing it into the plausible section but really? no terrible mishit ever in 3 months? Nothing?

    Idek anymore.

    It‘s quite possible. I almost never snap strings. When I do it‘s when I‘m late to defend a smash. Aerosonic doesn‘t count, which snaps due to the fraying. :p

    That's just a joke I use as an excuse to cut strings or stringjobs I dislike. You know full well I haven't cut a single one of mukesh bhaiya's stringjob recently.

    dude i gave li ning no.7 gut a go and played couple of games yesterday with them, and honestly u guys were right the strings are slightly heavy with lesser sweet spots i didnt like it also while smashing its making very funny noise like rash or something cant describe , unfortunately no.5 was not available in that shop i went so went for 7 , so next target with be to replace it in 4 weeks and give no.5 a try

    Ouch, that's a real shame.

    I didn't bother with No.7 because as a .70mm, it's not much thicker than No.5 at .69mm anyway.

    I hope so! It's a pretty decent string, not the best in my books, but good enough.

    There is no point in going for Li-ning string on a li-ning racket. Just use the strings you like on any racket !

    i know babar thats the way to look at it mostly, but i dont mix stuff in brands( for me yonex stuff with yonex li ning with li ning vector with vector) may be its my old school thinking

    Old school or not, it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. A good string performs well on any racket from any brand. And besides, you do know that Li-Ning doesn't actually manufacture strings themselves?
