Hi Paul and Everyone | Introduce Yourself To Our Forum Members | Discussion Forum

First of all, I would like to express my feeling toward this web site of Paul. It is a very informative and professional web site for Badminton fan like me.

Hi, Paul and everyone, I am 39 year old, been very active in playing badminton when i was 14 – 16 year old and joined national team and trained by professional coach from Indonesia. For some reason, i stop playing badminton for the past twenty year. Recently, one of my relatives pass me two rackets and i started to train myself and play again. 

Slow on movement but still strong on forehand. Weak at backhand. Everyday start to skip, train footworks, hitting wall, and wrist exercise using racket with cover. Hope can catch up the old time. 

Recently, i brought a Yonex Carbonex 9 SP Tour with BG66 string; 24lbs and Li-Ning HC1100 with BG66; 24 lbs. Finding Carbonex 9 is very heavy but hitting and smash is hard but tired after a while and not good for defence. Meanwhile, Li-ning is very light and is good at defence but weak at smash.

Thus, recently after reading a lot of forum especially Paul's website and decided to buy a AT900 Power. Please advice me of what tension i should used with BG66 with my current status. I was thinking of 22 or 23lbs. Is it advisable? Please advice.

For intermediate lady player using a light racket like Li-Ning HC1100, should i string with BG66 20lbs or 22lbs?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
