    Hello everyone, I'm new on forum and this is my first post.
    I'm looking for alternative for my favourite badminton string - Yonex BG66UM on 23-24lbs tension. I play with it 3 times a week and I feel that after about 3 weeks it is losing an elasticity. I can add that mainly i play plastic shuttles and prefere offensive playstyle but sometimes i'm satisfied of great net drops.
    Thanks for replies .

    If you can deal with a marginally harder feel definitely Li Ning No. 1. Better feel for much much longer than UM.

    LN#1 is too slippery I find. ZM62F would be a good replacement for 66UM especially for plastics.

    Yep. 66UM is really only good for around 6-8 hrs of play before it feels dead.
