Yonex BG80 Power – powerful 200 m reel for attacking badminton
The Yonex BG80 Power is a performance badminton string for players looking for a solid impact response, high shuttle acceleration and direct energy transfer. Its 0.68 mm gauge combines an attacking character with greater stability than ultra-thin competition strings.
The high-intensity nylon multifilament core with Vectran™ reinforces the construction and provides clear feedback at contact. This makes the string particularly effective during smashes, attacking clears and powerful drives.
The 200-metre reel is suitable for clubs, coaches, frequent players and professional stringing services. Depending on racket head size, stringing pattern, knotting technique and string usage, it provides approximately 20 to 22 complete badminton racket restringings.
Playing feel and characteristics
The BG80 Power provides a medium-to-hard, solid playing response. It feels powerful and immediate without being as uncompromisingly firm as some especially direct competition strings.
Its main strength appears in attacking play. Smashes and fast offensive strokes benefit from dynamic shuttle acceleration and stable contact with the string bed.
Controlled clears, drives and placement also receive clear feedback. However, its surface is less focused on maximum shuttle grip and slicing than the oval-textured construction of the standard BG80.
At 0.68 mm, the BG80 Power provides reasonable durability for a performance string. It is more resistant than ultra-thin 0.61 to 0.65 mm strings but remains more performance-oriented than a dedicated durability model.
BG80 Power or standard BG80?
The standard BG80 places greater emphasis on a particularly hard, direct response and a textured surface for precise control. The BG80 Power feels slightly more dynamic and supports acceleration during powerful attacking strokes more strongly.
Technical control players will often prefer the BG80. Attacking all-round players and hard hitters are generally better matched to the BG80 Power.

Important: Always observe the maximum permitted stringing tension of the badminton racket. Damaged or sharp-edged grommets should be replaced before restringing because they can cause premature string failure.
Who should choose the Yonex BG80 Power?
The BG80 Power is particularly suitable for advanced club and competitive players with powerful technique. It works well for attacking singles players, dynamic doubles players and powerful all-round players.
Players with medium to fast swing speeds benefit from its stable power transfer. The string supports aggressive smashes and quick attacking combinations while retaining enough control for varied situations.
The 200-metre reel is economical for clubs, coaches, frequent players and stringing services that regularly prepare multiple rackets with an attacking performance string.
Players prioritising maximum durability or an especially soft string bed should choose another model. Those who enjoy the standard BG80 but want more dynamics and support for smashes will find the BG80 Power a suitable alternative.

We recommend the Yonex BG80 Power to players and stringers looking for a powerful 0.68 mm string with solid feedback, high shuttle acceleration and dependable control. It is especially suitable for attacking club play and hard hitters.
