Nice! Long time coming for someone to technically explain the strings! Thank you. I think you should explain what the purpose is for textured/smooth string, as well as hard/soft feeling. My take on it would be with textured the slices are much easier to achieve as it holds the shuttle for longer. When you engage power however you need to be more precise as the angle changes much easier than smoother strings. With harder string it's generally less forgiving when mis-hits etc, you will feel the vibrations more on the racket and perhaps more prone to injury? What it gives is sensitivity to shot power, ie when you do dead drops, net tumbles etc it's much easier to feel the shot. I also find changing tensions will affect these attributes so it's a bit of a minefield when you get into it properly! In addition, some people say model of strings have "sweetspot" for tensions, which is another can of worms! Mixing strings is another can of worms... So many possible video topics on just strings!

@JLneonhug 2 жыл бұрын

My go to is the ZYMAX 62f white (~28lbs). Feels marginally softer than 66um (and sound isn't great) but durability for me is much longer. Currently using their ashaway hybrid which is even softer but it has nice grab and power, rough mains smooth crosses. Not as crisp as aerobites etc.

@viaujoc 2 жыл бұрын

I found that the more a string is textured, the more abrasive it is and the earlier it will break by normal wear in the sweet spot. I used to string with NBG 99, it has a great grip on the shuttle but I went through it in 4 weeks. Now I use BG66UM which is less textured and also thinner, but I get 6 to 8 weeks of play between restring. I had the same experience with the BG80 because it is also very textured. So the diameter is not the only factor that impacts durability.

Thank you so much for this round up. Ishare similar impressions when it come to the famous strings. Aerosonic and BG66 ultimax where my go to for medium and fun play. For doubles BG80 was my choice with it hard feel and control oriented feedback but its difficult to get the lenght on clears with it. The exbolt 63 might be my next favorite since it blends thin gauge but hard feel.

Nice video! Probably, same string will feel different depending on the tension applied, racket used, skill of the stringer, climate, etc. Also, few international players prefer their strings pre-stretched; does that really have an effect? Beside, few strings hold tension much better than the other. Thinner strings perform better at higher tensions.

Prestretching is a personal preference so it depends on the player.

My favourite is bg65 because I can get it in purple. And my main racket in the past was a ti10 3rd gen. After that broke I got an arcsaber 11 with red strings but never really got used to it and kinda stopped playing for awhile. Actually maybe it was a bg65ti back then as well, they don't list purple anymore though. I somehow broke like 3 of those strings. Now it's a ryuga 2 so back to purple strings. What strings does Yonex usually give prestrung though? I still have the original string on my ti zero, it never broke because I usually only used it when my arm got tired of swinging the ti10

You missed some budget Repulsion strings, there are BG9, BG6, and BG5 Match (Left is from the most expensive, but ofc cheap). There is also BG66 Brilliant the newest BG66 variant and BG80 Power. For Durability I recently found out there's a BG70 Pro? Probably amazing if you could be the first channel to cover all of Yonex's strings xD. Maybe make a series of this type of videos with other brand strings like from Li-Ning, Victor, Ashaway, etc. Also If it's possible could you provide all of the strings specs like the control, power, durability, sound levels. Great video nonetheless!

The strings you listed above are Yonex Sunrise exclusive strings which are only available in South East Asia and aren't available worldwide. But yes, I did miss out BG80 Power as I wasn't able to get hold of them too. More string comparisons to come in the future

Hi! U mentioned that NBG98 is not very durable, so how does it compare to 66Ultimax? By right ultimax has 0.65mm which would be less durable but what do u feel or think? Which string is more durable? Thanks!

@heyitsskie 2 жыл бұрын

For me personally nbg98 at 24lbs lasts a very long time.. longer than my bg80 lasted me and much longer than bg66. Bg66 snapped after 2 weeks whereas nbg98 lasts 2-3.5 months, never used bg66 ultimax but if it’s similar to bg66 then u will snap it very fast

Great video! Finally, an extensive video about strings, their attributes, and personal opinions! I'm thinking of restring my racket but the only strings that I've ever use is the bg 66 Ultimax at 26 lbs. However, as I tried out other people's rackets, I found out I prefer strings that has the best solid feeling over anything else. If that's the case, should I simply string the bg 66 Ultimax higher? Or should I look into other strings such as the bg 80 or other "hard feeling" strings? Thanks!!

What is smashing with Aerobite like, compared to smashing with BG80? At first, BG80 felt as if I was smashing with a frying pan, because I'd previously used BG66 ultimax. I really like it now, but I'm curious as to what Aerobite is like 👀🤔. The one thing holding me back, is what the durability of Aerobite is like. I've been using BG80 for 6 months or more and haven't felt the need to get a restring. Compared to BG66 ultimax, where it felt like I needed a restring within a month, that is really impressive. 😯

A good estimate is how many times you play/week/racket. So assuming you play 3 times/week then you should expect to restring your racket at least 3 times/year. But its only an estimate and all down to personal preference and what strings you go for. Thick strings will always last longer but thin strings will always break faster.
