The Yonex BG80 (Sky Blue) is a legendary, high-performance badminton string trusted worldwide by competitive and power-oriented players. Constructed with a 0.68 mm gauge featuring high-modulus Vectran fibers braided around a durable multifilament core, BG80 delivers a signature hard hitting feel and explosive shuttle acceleration. The Sky Blue colorway provides a crisp, cool aesthetic that offers a stylish contrast or complement to modern racquet frames.
