Its RM27 at Elin Pandan Indah, not sure whether they charge GST now or not. But the maximum I'll pay for it is RM30.

RM 27 for BG66UM using Li Ning and Protech machine. RM 30 for BG66UM using Yonex machine @ Elin Pandan Indah.

hello guys, i would like to hear some advice from u guys about what Yonex string i can opt for

currently using bg66 25lbs... i prefer offense, sometime play a bit defend.
I only broke my string once time ..... i m not a pro player.

a lot of ppl saying bg80 is quite good, any ppl using this string ?
have to increase 1 or 2 lbs for using more thicker string ?

thicker string will have better control ?

please feel free to offer me some advice.

Yes, thicker strings require higher tension in order to get the same feeling. BG80 is a string that has never broken (at least for me). Maybe you can try BG80 at 26lbs. smile.gif

Ummm.. Thats a tough question. Im not very sure, but I think thinner strings have got better repulsion than thicker strings. Thinner strings also do sound better but the downside is that it snaps quickly especially when you slice the shuttle a lot. smile.gif

Not really. depends on the level of your hit. The trick is if you hit the ball as you normally hit and it doesn't travel as it normally does, then its time for a change. Normally the cycle is around 2-3 months depends on your frequency of playing.

Its totally up to you. You'll need to restring your racquet for maybe 5 times at different tensions while maintaining the same string thickness to find a tension that suits you. smile.gif
