The Yonex BG80 (Royal Blue) is a flagship, high-performance badminton string benchmarked globally for its exceptional repulsion power and crisp impact feel. Constructed with a 0.68 mm gauge featuring high-modulus Vectran fibers braided around a dense multifilament core, BG80 produces a signature rigid hitting bed for maximum shuttle speed. The Royal Blue colorway delivers a rich, deep blue aesthetic that pairs exceptionally well with modern racquet cosmetics.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (9/10): High-modulus Vectran fibers maximize snapback, driving heavy smashes and deep clears with explosive acceleration.
- Hard Hitting Feel (10/10): Delivers a firm, direct response favored by advanced power players who desire unbuffered tactile feedback off the string bed.
- Control & Spin (8/10): The textured outer Vectran braid grips the shuttle cork on impact, providing excellent precision on slices, tight net drops, and hairpins.
- Hitting Sound (8/10): Generates a heavy, solid acoustic crack on full-power offensive strokes.
- Durability & Tension Hold (8/10): The 0.68 mm core combined with Vectran fibers yields impressive structural stability, resisting premature breakage and maintaining strung tension over extended play.
Best Suited For
- Hard-Hitting Attacking Players: Ideal for rear-court smashes and aggressive drivers seeking a rigid string bed for maximum energy transfer.
- Advanced & Competitive Players: Suitable for players who prefer a crisp, hard response over soft, cushioned string feedback.
