AT600 will be withdrawn from the range in 2011. In fact only AT900's will remain as the Voltric range will be launched at All Englands. So, there are bargains which is brilliant news for you.
I do have access to many Victor racquets and review them when my retailer requests more data. I will be testing BS09 in January. For the money the CAstilus 400 is an absolutely brilliant racquet, retailing around £60.
TIW slim from memory not sure whether I've tested this racquet. If I have, I didn't like it.
As I said to Rob, BS169 is fantastic racquet. Whilst badged a ladies racquet, it's a little unfair to give it this title. It's just a great racquet.
Yes, use 3/4 length cover if you can. You don't need to hit shuttles just do the exercises in my videos and you'll be fine.

Offline Hi paul,
How good is the Zymax 67 and how long does it last compared with BG65ti
Thanks Sam

Zymax string has different properties to Yonex strings. I liked the string but found there was more string movement compared to Yonex string.
With regards to durability, I didn't find much difference. Bearing in mind I don't play games and only coach, the string lasted about the same in my racquet.
What you may find with Zymax is that it doesn't suffer as much tension loss as other strings. This can be a major plus point for some players. For me, by the time this really matters, the string is already on its way out and I'd be looking for a restring anyway.
Hope this helps Sam.
To your success in 2011.

Offline I use BG66 Ultimax in my racquets. It's a softer string which I consider helps a lot when using stiffer racquets.

Offline In some restringing place they do not have the bg66 ultimax is there any other string that is like bg66ultimax so I could put on my stiff racket because pretty much all my racket is stiff

Try BG66 Maxima as an alternative.

I'm considering restringing my racket. Now, all of my rackets have the standard factory strung BG65 in them, but the shop also has BG65 Ti, BG80, BG68 Ti and nanogy 95. The BG65TI and the BG80 have been discussed at length, but what are your opinions about the BG68Ti and the Nanogy 95? How do they compare to the BG65Ti and the BG80? The BG68 Ti looks great too!
Also, the stringer asks 17.50 euros for a restring (you get the new string for free though) and I want to test out some tensions. Should I just tell the guy to string at a certain tension and go back if I don't like it? Could get a quite expensive test.
Currently I only play 2 hours badminton a week, mostly matches with players around my level, due to an knee injury. Is it actually worth it to test out some tensions?
For a little extra information: I’m an intermediate player with reasonable technique, I almost play just as much with plastic as I do with feathered shuttles and the shop I usually go to to restring my rackets restrings from 9 to 12 kg with 0.5 kg increments or a “standard”option, which I guess strings your rackets to factory defaults. My racket is the VT70 with factory strung BG65.

The issue you have is covering your options. Because you play with both feather and Nylon shuttles, you are more limited in terms of testing. My recommendation for players like you would be to increase tension to say maximum 22lbs initially or until you feel that the nylon shuttles are too hard work. For most players 21/22lbs would be a limit in this respect.
Once you have found an optimum tension, then by all means test string at this tension. You may find that the thinner gauge strings wear out too fast for you, or you may decide you get better overall feel and they're worth it.
Playing only two hours per week limits your ability to test often, however, unless you are going to tell me otherwise, there isn't a particular time limit on your testing.
Hope this helps.
Paul
