Yonex Nanogy 98 Badminton Reel , Yellow

The Yonex Nanogy 98 Badminton String Reel (200m, Yellow) is a high-repulsion, medium-feeling string engineered for high shuttle speed, crisp touch, and effortless depth on clears. Utilizing Yonex's CS Carbon Nanotube coating combined with a medium-thin 0.66mm gauge, it reduces friction between main and cross strings, providing explosive energy transfer and sharp acoustic feedback.

Performance Profile

1. Repulsion Power (10/10): Exceptional elasticity and quick snap-back deliver maximum shuttle acceleration and effortless baseline-to-baseline clears.
2. Hitting Sound (8/10): Produces a sharp, high-pitched "pop" on sweet-spot contact.
3. Control (8/10): Fine tactile response for delicate net play, hairpins, and deceptive drop shots.
4. Shock Absorption (7/10): Comfortable and forgiving on the arm, dampening harsh impact vibrations.
5. Durability (7/10): Superior wear resistance compared to ultra-thin strings (0.61mm) thanks to the carbon nanotube barrier, though slightly less durable than thicker 0.69mm/0.70mm options like Nanogy 95 or BG65.

Best Suited For

1. Defensive & Counter-Attacking Players: Excellent for fast-reaction defense, rapid flat drives, and deep back-court clears.
2. Players Seeking Maximum Speed with Less Strain: Great for generating effortless power without over-exerting the arm or shoulder.
3. Net Specialists: Offers excellent touch and control for tight net exchanges and drop shots.
4. High-Visibility Racquet Styling: The vibrant Flash Yellow finish creates a striking look on dark, neon, or multi-colored frames.
