Yonex Nanogy 98 Badminton Reel , Cosmic Gold

The Yonex Nanogy 98 Badminton String Reel (200m, Cosmic Gold) is a high-repulsion, medium-feeling string designed for players seeking maximum sharp response, effortless speed, and long-distance clears. Utilizing Yonex's CS Carbon Nanotube technology combined with a fine 0.66mm gauge, it reduces friction between main and cross strings, providing high elastic energy transfer and sharp feedback.

Performance Profile

1. Repulsion Power (10/10): Exceptional elasticity and quick snap-back deliver high shuttle speeds and effortless deep clears.
2. Hitting Sound (8/10): Produces a crisp, high-pitched acoustic sound on sweet-spot hits.
3. Control (8/10): Precise tactile feedback for fine net play, hairpins, and deceptive wrist drops.
4. Shock Absorption (7/10): Offers a comfortable, arm-friendly response by dampening heavy impact vibrations.
5. Durability (7/10): Significantly more durable than ultra-thin strings (0.61mm) due to the carbon nanotube coating, though slightly lower than 0.69mm/0.70mm thick options like Nanogy 95 or BG65.

Best Suited For

1. Defensive & Counter-Attacking Players: Excellent for players who rely on rapid clears, fast flat drives, and quick defensive returns from the back court.
2. Players Wanting Power with Less Effort: Great for players looking to generate deep shuttle distance without over-exerting their arm or shoulder.
3. Touch & Net Specialists: Provides high sensitivity for tight drops and net play control.
4. Premium Frame Aesthetic: The signature Cosmic Gold finish complements dark or metallic racquet frame designs.
