YONEX BG 80 - 0,68 mm in the test

YONEX has been supplying the international tournament world in badminton with its strings for years. The YONEX BG 80 has become the most popular badminton string among professionals. But there have also been some innovations in recent years such as the super-thin Aerosonic (0.61 mm) or the aerobite hybrid stringing for badminton rackets.
We took a closer look at how these developments compare to the top strings that have been tried and tested over the years.

YONEX BG 80 - 0,68 mm rating: 1 2 3 4 5   Average
1. The string conveys a good feel for the stroke (touch/feedback) - - - 1 4   4,8
2. The string has good elasticity and damping properties - - 2 3 -   3,6
3. The string retains its elasticity (trampoline effect) for a very long time - - - 3 2   4,4
4. The string supports a good length on Clears - - - 3 2   4,4
5. The string supports my underhand play (e.g. in defense) - - - 3 2   4,4
6. The string provides good control during short game (e.g. cut or short crossball at net) - - - 1 4   4,8
7. The string offers a rich, controlled power transmission in hard smashes. - - - 2 3   4,6
8. The string impresses with a good "sound” - - - 4 1   4,2

Rating: As expected, the YONEX BG 80 / 0.68 mm was convincing in every respect! Almost all ratings have a peak value. It is therefore no wonder that the YONEX BG 80 is one of the strings most played by professionals. The fact that the string delivers a good hitting feel is beyond question with our test results. But the real strength lies in the rich, controlled power transmission in hard smashes. On this point, the BG 80 achieved the maximum value of 4.6 over all strings in the test (together with the BG 65 Ti).
The Yonex BG 80 is a little rougher than the Yonex BG 65 and therefore balls can be cut better. However, it is also rubbed through faster. We recommend this hard top string preferably for tournament allround players. The Yonex BG 80 is currently played by world class players such as Kevin S. Sukamuljo, Chou Tien Chen, Lee Yong Dae, Anders Skarup Rasmussen
