Well I dropped my racket off tonight to get restrung.
I ended up getting hold of bg66um. was going to string at 23lb but my stringer said because its such a thin string I should stick with my 22lb.
Playing Monday so will get a chance to give it a good try out.
I think bg80 will b my next string to try out unless I fall in love with this one
Will report how I got on with it on Mon night
Looking forward to getting on court

Thanks lee

So I picked my racket up last night and headed to the court.
First reactions where good. Makes a high pitch popping sound when doing clears which sounds good.
I found there was a lot more control, with my net shots and drops being more precise than bg65ti.
When hitting some clears I felt the bg65ti to b more powerful but that could of been down to the hall or shuttles cause other people were complaining of slow speeds. Hall was quite hot weather that would make any difference
Only played for a hour last night but found at the end I was getting on with the string quite well
Have a match next Tue so will see how it performs when im under pressure

I've had issues in the past when using a mobile, try a different web browser. I use Dolphin Mini on an Andriod phone but had problems with other browsers.

 

Make sure you have mobile theme switched on, it helps a little bit (bottom of the page).

 

With smilies, your doomed there, I have done it a couple of times but the amount of grief doesn't make it worth it! Laugh

 

Good luck with your strings, always give it a couple of weeks before really deciding if they are the ones for you and buying loads, wait for the honeymoon period to wear off Wink

Thanks for the advice peter
Will see how I get on in the next few weeks with the string. Feel like im cheating on my old string bg65ti cause used it for so many years lol. Thought it was time to move on and try new options.
U never know I may rekindle my love for bg65ti once again

Thanks lee
