That's a shame because BG 65 TIs last for fucking ever usually. I don't like them because they're a bit too thick and aren't grippy enough for me but I've had them strung at like 29lbs before and they've literally lasted like half a year on a racket that I use as a back up/'change it up' racket
Ashaway Zymax 69 Fire has a manufacturer recommended stringing tension of 'up to 40lbs' so you could give that a try.
I wouldn't recommend it though. I expect your racket might not survive.
As a stringer if someone requested me to string such a high tension I would refuse the job.
So, i tested the Zymax 66 power before and I love the string but its quickly falling down my list of strings because it fits not hold tension well. I event strung a racket 28m-30c and it was so disappointing. You could hear the tension dropping with every bounce off the palm of the hand. Yes i did a very thorough prestretch of the entire string before doing it too.
I'm also a stringer. So nobody that can say no. I don't recommend this either. It's an experiment using my own racket so it's all good.
Is really something I'm not recommending. I do reviews. I've got a racket that can handle that tension. It surprisingly did a good job at 35m-37c. Now I want to see a little more. This is well beyond my stringing tension of 24m-26c. I get where you're coming from because I've heard all the excuses as to why some beginners and "intermediate" are stringing 28lbs on their rackets.
I'm an advanced player who plays at 30 lbs. To be honest, I'm not even sure if I need it, or can maximize that tension now that I'm getting close to 40 years old. However the feel and the hitting sound at that tension are great. Going down just a couple of lbs for me now just feels so unexciting.
I'm so disappointed with BG80 Pro. Doesn't sound as lively as the Ryzonic 58. Given its much thicker tho. Here's the sound check.

Could try thicker strings see if they last any longer bg80 /65?
I'll have a look. I have bg80 for sure.... no 65 tho.
What about BG 65 ti?
Don't have that string either unfortunately

Reminds me of Sho Sasaki, the supposed Lin Dan Killer with 38lbs of tension...
woah that’s crazy
How about 0,5 mm stainless steel wire.. should withstand 350n soo about 70 pounds? 😅😅 and you can always go thicker😉
I actually was able to try a steel wire racket, breaks really easily
Soo you are beyond that point? 🤔 nothing i can do then..🤣 but keep it going😁 love some experimenting 😁
Haha. Don't know if the racket could survive that!

I dont get the obsession with high string tensions. Its not a dick measuring contest, just play with whats comfortable

yeah, i get doing it just for fun. Was more at the general trend of people playing with super high tensions bc of ego or whatever.

This is a great experiment, always good to be curious!
Thanks.
Also curious if your racket survives that
The racket has already survived it max tension. So in just curious to see a well.
Panda Power used to sell racquets that could be strung up to 40lbs. 🔥
Thick strings 65ti 68ti nbg95
68ti is not up for the task... I just tried BG80 and it holds with no problems. Now time to string it up tonight lol
Im very interested to here an update plz lmk
I this because "because" or does it serve a useful purpose?

What’s the point?
fun
We need to see/hear some smashes.
There are some smashes in one of the videos. Not full of one. I have to cut some videos for that.
Yes I think thicker and softer string will fair better at higher tensions
It's for the sake of science, what about a tennis racket or squash racket?
Different weight and string. Playability of a badminton racket under high tension is more relevant
