QUOTE(chronic_kenny @ Sep 5 2008, 02:07 AM) bro smashing is all on urself... tension on string cant help u 100% on better smashing ,string also play a important role for racquet...if ur string is BG65 , is btter for light play , defend and a long lasting string... if u wan good smashing touch u can try BG68 or BG66 with 25LBS.... but u must know that these two type of strings ( 66&68) is a thin string , it will probably last u for 2-3 months if ur a regular/powerful player ... for a beginner try 24lbs-25lbs , if ur regular player try 26-28lbs if u can tahan ... who dont know skill also play important part lol.. juz like when racing, a super driver with kelisa VS average driver with Nissan GTR lol.. my point is, i ned a setting which will facilitate my play style    QUOTE(Brianette @ Sep 5 2008, 02:25 AM) try BG80 32lbs 32lbs i am using it , very very nice! according to the website, mine max supported 24lbs with 32lbs my racket head already pecah before play lol QUOTE(ezpersonal @ Sep 5 2008, 09:12 AM) ......... it all depends on ur strength la wah, if soft player = 22, if strong player = 24, then i guess i will end with 23 instead if u r taufu and soft player, more tension = lesser power (recommend 22lbs will do) if u r powerful player like lindan, more tension = more powerful, more accurate, easier to control (recommend 24lbs or more) but most of the racquest maximum tension only 24lbs la unless u buy those expensive one for more smashing power go for bg85 but i still failed to get consensus on which type of string to use  anyone please help on the string part? so far i have been recomended with BG66, BG68, & BG85 |
