    How would you rank these strings, comparing them in general of power-control-durability-hitting sound/feeling? Thanks in advance

    Power (fresh): 66UM > 95 >80P > 95
    Control: 80P > 66UM > 98 > 95
    Durability: 95 > 80P > 98 > 66UM (should be, can't tell accurate because I cut them after 2 weeks or break them)
    Hitting sound: Can't tell, because I don't care about it much. At my tension nearly everything sounds nice. ;)
    Feeling: 80P > 66UM >> 98 > 95

    This is just my personal impression. IMO BG80P is the best allround which satisfy me in all aspects and suits my game well. I would skip NBG95 if you are not interested in good durabilty which is IMO the only case where it shines. NGB98 is really powerful and keeps tension a bit better than BG66UM, but has a spongy and numb feel. BG66UM has a great feel when fresh, but drops tension pretty quick. BG80P has a good Ommph, sound is metallic like and offers good control and feel. It's also a bit more durable compared to 98 and 66UM. The hard feeling of BG80P doesn't suit everybody. Just my 2 cents.
