Yonex BG80 Badminton String

Yonex BG80 is built around one thing: repulsion. The 0.68mm gauge and the high-modulus Vectran braid generate a noticeably faster snap-back than BG65, which is what gives attacking players that extra few mph on jump smashes and net kills.

The tradeoff is durability — BG80 will not last as long as BG65 under heavy mishits, particularly in cold halls. It is the right pick for singles players, doubles attackers, and anyone whose game depends on power off the strings.
