Yonex BG80 Badminton Reel , Black

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.

Performance Profile

1. Repulsion Power (9/10): High-modulus Vectran fibers provide maximum shuttle acceleration and punch on smashes and backcourt clears.
2. Hard Hitting Feel (10/10): Delivers a crisp, direct contact response preferred by attacking players who want immediate, unbuffered tactile feedback.
3. Control & Spin (8/10): The textured Vectran outer wrap grips the shuttle securely for controlled slices, delicate net drops, and tight hairpins.
4. Hitting Sound (8/10): Generates a heavy, solid impact sound on full-power offensive shots.
5. Durability & Tension Hold (8/10): The combination of a 0.68 mm core and Vectran braiding provides strong resistance to premature snapping and maintains string tension exceptionally well over time.

Best Suited For

2. Advanced & Intermediate Competitors: Players who prefer a firm, crisp hit over soft, dampening strings.
3. Stealth & Dark Frame Aesthetics: Great choice for players wanting a sleek, low-profile black string setup or high contrast on bright frames.
