broke my second set of badminton strings tonight. ☠ yonex BG 85 @ 25 lbs. lasted just 2 months of approx. weekly play, far less than the prior BG 66 Forces, which also gave me much more hitting power.

tempted to go back to BG66F but also want to explore more options before settling down

special-ordered these strings in lavender but it was kinda subtle. hope to find another fun/eyecatching color in a worthwhile yonex string

tonight there was talk of bedazzling baddo racquets with glitter and the like. a fine idea imo ✨
