    I dont think the string will be selling in Malaysia. Only Japan is available.

    For Singapore and Malaysia will be just Bg66.

    Nope.. he sometimes uses Bg66 Sharp Bg66 or Bg66M.

    Those that he has is most likely supplied during the tournaments.

    I tried BG66S before, but still prefer NBG98 for its control and durability. I wonder how good is the BG66M, compared to NBG98, in terms of repulsion, control and durability...:confused:

    Hi,
    BG66M cost me about 10US dollars from shuttle house without delivery costs.
    I've strung it at 24lbs on my N9900 and must admit that it feels better than BG66S at the same tension and sounds better too. But a word of advice when stringing is that you don't over tighten your knots on this one. I made a silly mistake where I used the machine to pull the starting knot for the cross section and therefore the vertical string had snapped where this knot was placed after 3 games from a miss hit in defence.
    I then re strung this racquet with NBG95(jp) at 24lbs and it felt like a dog. Somehow you need to put more effort into each shot with NBG95 than BG66M/S

    i preordered these strings when they came out from mybadmintonstore and ive got to say the are very good. great control and power compared to any other string ive used before. i strung it at 27 on a li ning n77. for some reason the next day it went down to about 25 or 26 so idk if its the strings or the stringer. but overall these are really good strings and they havent broken yet =)

    BG66M has better repulsion and Control. Nanogy 98 has durability and Shock absorb.

    However for the thinness of Bg66M. I would say it is more durable than Bg66 itself.

    My test set of 66M arrived just now - looks THIIIIIN! Also got some SOTX HS-63, a relative fat boy at 0.66. I'll leave testing until the New Year, as I already have some kick-arse Zymax 62 in my go-to rackets

    Had a racquet strung with BG66M at 27x29lbs, one-piece "haribito" at Shuttle-House. Broke after like.. 10mins.. I blame the stringer. Really repulsive but horrible durability.

    RSL SuperTi630 (0.63mm) strung by ae86trueno at around the same tension, never broke for me.

    Still waiting for someone to compare Nanogy 98 vs BG 66 Maxima.

    Currently I play with Nanogy 98 and Armortec 900 Power (4G). I like this combination. With 25lb tension I seem to get a lot of power. Anything over 25lb tension the string doesn't last that long. With 25lb it usually lasts one month for me and I play 4 times a week (2-3 hours).

    I actually prefer BG 66 but it breaks after one week. So, this BG 66 Maxima looks very promising. All the good stuff from BG 66 and more durable. Please help!
