really terrible bro.
when hit few times i started dulan edi.
feel like use scissor cut them and go other shop restring

go back say not nice and compare with the 21lbs , say no crisp sound, MUST BE FAKE STRINGGGGG

can say lidat ah ?

bg66 at 28 tension... seems like no power. =.=
hahaha

If 66@28 no power then mebbe the string tension to high for your racket or yourself. Personally, i feel high tension works wif higher u and head heavy rackets. Also 28 on 66 will definitely not last.

BG65, BG70pro, Zy67, Zy70, NBG95(last option. very expensive)

different stringer?

difference between ECP (electronic constant pull) and crank (normally used) machines are normally around 3lbs with both calibrated
tested by DinkALot aka Sir Panda from BC which is the genius behind Panda Power rackets.
maybe the machine is not calibrated/serviced/maintained?

if can handle high tension, light and slight head heavy racket can do wonders too

all down to player preference and technique, dun u think so? I dun have a fast enough swing, so i need the racket to do more me, hence the higher weight and head heavyness.

well said. then u also need a flexible shaft

different stringer.
I got one YY and Apac both using BG66.
the YY i always went to the same stringer.
but Apac first time mr.arc help me strung which is super nice
then the string putus so i terpaksa go to local shop in miri and got this shit
even i use hand clap the racket also can hear the dull sound of the '24lbs'

This wednesday gonna use my racket again and string gonna be use for 2 times since the last time ARC string for me and I only used for 1 times. Gonna try again to see got power for me or not at BG66 @ 24 tension. Kill all my colleague

anyone heard of this Pronex shuttlecock?
where can i get it?

arc is using ECP if i'm not mistaken

your area only got 1 shop provide racket string service?


how come no power? you are state player level, right?? pro player use bg66 at 28+ tension or bg65 at 30+ tension one, I saw them can smash gau gau with it. . .

hello guys. i have a budget of 100-150 plus minus that for a racket. currently i dont have a specific model or brand. i like to play intense hard smashing games (). mostly playing double. so which brand and model of racket shud i get?

hmmm...kinda find flexy shaft hard to control the shuttle or mebbe i am just used to stiff shafts.

question: most articles i've read indicates that low tension = more power/easier playability. However, recently I tried to restring to 24lbs from my usual 27lbs then the result was horrendous. Drops where all over the place, smashes end up in the net, clears needed extra effort and worst of all, defensive clears ends up at half court. Decided to cut the strings after one game and re-string back to 27lbs. I'm abit puzzled as to the opposite effect of my experience against what i've read and what most ppl experienced. Could it be that the strings flexed too much at low tension causing loss of power instead of the bounce effect?

Yonex Armortec 30
Yonex Nano Speed 300
Yonex Muscle Power 23

Apacs Lethal 9
Apacs Nano 900 Power
Apacs Rapier Z R (SG)

whats the diff between nanospeed 200 n 300?

if you doubt with the theory low tension = more power, then forgot about it, just use the tension that you feel suit you most, if now using 27lbs, next time maybe can try 28lbs or 29lbs (ensure your racket can take it ), if you feel the power more lack then 27lbs then mean your level is not there yet, 27lbs still suit you better. . . last time I also test it one by one, at first is noob want high tension, 25lbs then 26lbs. . . now back to 24lbs - 25 lbs only. . .

normally people with slower swing will use flexible shaft because the shaft have more time to bend and unbend
stiff shafts unbend too fast and will not generate good power when the birdie reaches the frame

i have the same situation too. it plays even more horrible than my 26 and 28lbs, although different rackets
haven cut it coz i still can control it. will cut it soon then 27lbs
IMO, we must play with the string tension that we usually use. try different shaft stiffness for different effects

yeah i agree. But i just tested the theory out of curiosity and the notion of saving my injured shoulder. but end up wasting a RM30 bucks and a perfectly good AP62 string

sigh, lotsa wrong techniques and bad habits and lack of a coach have taken a toll over the years. hence i have to stress to all those just picking up badminton, get your technique and footwork right first before playing with string tension and investing in high end rackets!!!
