Yonex Nanogy 98 Badminton Reel , Blue

The Yonex Nanogy 98 Badminton String Reel (200m, Blue) is a high-repulsion string designed for fast shuttle speed, crisp touch, and high clearing power. Featuring a medium-feeling 0.66mm gauge, it uses Yonex's CS Carbon Nanotube outer coating to minimize friction at string intersections, delivering rapid snap-back and sharp acoustic feedback.

Performance Profile

1. Repulsion Power (10/10): Superior elasticity launches the shuttle with high initial velocity, making baseline-to-baseline clears effortless.
2. Hitting Sound (8/10): Produces a sharp, high-pitched pop on sweet-spot contact.
3. Control (8/10): Excellent tactile touch for net play, delicate hairpins, and deceptive drop shots.
4. Shock Absorption (7/10): Soft on the wrist and shoulder, effectively absorbing heavy impact vibrations.
5. Durability (7/10): Offers better longevity than ultra-thin 0.61mm strings due to the carbon nanotube outer barrier, though it trades off ultimate wear resistance compared to 0.69mm/0.70mm options like Nanogy 95 or BG65.

Best Suited For

1. Defensive & Counter-Attacking Players: Ideal for quick-reaction defense, rapid flat drives, and fast back-court clears.
2. Players Seeking Effortless Depth: Perfect for players who want deep clears and easy speed without strain on the arm.
3. Net Specialists: Offers fine shuttle feel for precise net control and soft drops.
4. Vibrant Racquet Customization: The bright blue shade creates a striking look on white, black, or blue racquet frames.
