I know yonex chart say NBG 99, But I refuse to believe what yonex say, I want to hear what opinion you guys have? Which is better NBG 99 or Bg 65TI for control, power, durability Thanks.
I used both strings at high tension. Maybe my impressions help. Control: NBG99>BG65TI. BG65TI has a smooth surface. If you slice alot I would prefer NBG99 over BG65TI. Power: I can say that I can fire better smashs with BG65TI at 2-3 lbs higher than NBG99. That speaks IMO for a better repulsion. BG65TI>>NBG99. Durability: At that tensions which I use I can only notice a few days more or less. I think they are nearly equal. Maybe the BG65TI last a tiny bit longer. Tension holding: I can say that NBG99 holds tension pretty well. BG65TI drops tension fast and need pre stretch. Feel: IMO BG65Ti isn't a hard feeling string. FME NBG99 feels harder on impact than BG65TI at equal tension. Tbh both strings are not my current go-to but if I must choose I would prefer BG65Ti,
ucantseeme has answered the question very well. I recommend you to try BG-65Ti.. I use and play this string in all my rackets..
I'd recommend the 65Ti since NBG99 offers better control, but... not so much IMO. The 65Ti has better durability. On the other side, if I have other options, I'll go with the 66UM though
Because I playing nanoray z speed for some reason this racket has no control, That why I thinking of getting thicker string so it add more weight to my racket head, Because my grip is thick kinda effect the balance point haha. It feel super head light and has no feel with bg 66um so hopefully bg 65ti is more heavy.
TBH no grip added change the head weight. IMO NRZS is one of these rackets with a very dull and damped feel. BG66UM is also a string which feels after one week dull to me. My suggestion: - reduce the grip to just a replacement/overgrip or towelgrip. Not more than one grip! It feels more comfy, but it's a killer for feedback/fingerpower and fast grip change. - change the string to BG80 to get a better feeling and control. Adding 2-3lbs to your default tension should help and improve the feel. - If you have the feeling that it helped but you need more head weight then add a strip of athletic tape
Bg 80 or bg 80 power which is better. I also like to slice though bg 80 is a power string can I still slice.
To gain the feel you should go for BG80. BG80 Power is my go-to but there is a significant difference. BG80 Power is hard feeling string but not as hard as BG80. For the feel you should prefer BG80. IMO BG80Power lasts longer. Maybe 25% but not more. Powerwise I hit a better smash with BG80Power. Not much harder, but noticeable. Controlwise BG80 is better. Tension holding: BG80>BG80Power.
To me feel means that the string gives me a good feedback on impact and contact with shuttle of every stroke and that can improve the control. Controlwise I think the tension is more important than the string. The string makes only a difference if you compare strings at the same tension. If you are looking for control and feel there is nothing better than BG80. To get out the maximum string it 1-2lbs higher than your go-to. It will be like night and day.
