Yonex BG80 – direct badminton string for control and attacking play
The Yonex BG80 is a performance-oriented badminton string for players who want to combine a hard, direct impact response with excellent control and strong repulsion. Its 0.68 mm gauge sits between ultra-thin speed strings and thicker durability-oriented strings.
The Vectran™-reinforced multifilament core provides stable and clearly defined feedback at impact. Its oval braided outer structure creates a slightly grippy surface that supports accurate placement, sliced drops and controlled net play.
Playing feel and characteristics
The BG80 provides a hard and clearly defined playing feel. Shuttle contact is easy to sense, helping technically skilled players place their strokes accurately and use the string bed with confidence.
The string performs particularly well on fast drives, attacking clears and powerful smashes. Its repulsion supports dynamic attacking play without sacrificing control purely in favour of maximum speed.
At 0.68 mm, the BG80 offers more resistance than very thin competition strings. It is not a pure durability string, however, and remains more sensitive to frequent off-centre hits than thicker 0.70 mm options.

Important: The maximum permitted stringing tension of the badminton racket must not be exceeded. Because of its direct and hard response, the BG80 is particularly suitable for players with sound hitting technique.
Who should choose the Yonex BG80?
The BG80 is particularly suitable for advanced recreational players, club players and competitive players who value precise feedback and controlled attacking play. It suits players who want to place their strokes accurately while still generating pressure from the rear court.
Fast doubles players also benefit from its direct response on drives and net shots. Beginners looking for an especially soft and forgiving string bed may prefer a softer string. Players with very high string wear should consider a more durable 0.70 mm option.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Yonex BG80 to players looking for a balanced performance string with a clear focus on control, direct feedback and powerful strokes. It is one of the most versatile options for ambitious all-round and attacking badminton.
