The Yonex BG80 (Black) is a iconic, high-performance badminton string favored worldwide by tournament and power players. Constructed with a 0.68 mm gauge featuring high-modulus Vectran fibers braided around a durable multifilament core, BG80 delivers a signature stiff hitting feel and explosive power. The Black colorway adds a sleek, aggressive look to your racquet frame and naturally resists visible discoloration from shuttle cork friction.
