Yonex BG80 power

**davlee** · 11-05-2012, 12:24 AM

Guess will give this a try when my string snaps... never going back to BG66UM anyone. The tension can only last 2 - 3 weeks...

hahaha, as you it's personal perference
What do you think of the BG80 Power?
I have been using it on my Z-Slash and don't personally like it, I don't like BG80 either.
For me I really enjoy using BG66UM even though the tension goes after a while...

I tried and conclude that BG80p tension can last at most up to a month or a little more. Follow on, it just feels dead....

25lbs on at700

Hi davlee,

tested? Any comment?

Sound like "piak" not "pop" leh.....

And less repulsive right.

Depends on which string you compare to... if compared to BG66UM, definitely less repulsive since it is harder string and I string it at higher tension. Same goes with the sound.

As for me, I put higher attention to tension losing ability rather than sound. I am trying a few other string after giving up BG66UM due to its super fast tension losing. Hence, I am still finding and researching which is best for me. As for as BG80P, I cant say much yet as I only used it for maybe about an hour of play... needs more time to rate it

Hi bro, any review to be share?

**davlee** · 12-10-2012, 09:52 AM

Well, I guess I am not sensitive or pro enough to review on strings... by the way, I found that I string too high tension, not suitable for me.. but here are my opinions...

Strung BG80P at 27lbs..

Tension holding still very good after some games.. unlike BG66U. The string is a hard feeling string but like what many said, I think it felt some what like medium string but slightly harder... not as hard as BG80.

Repulsion wise, not much repulsion and not as good as BG66U or NBG98 (my other racket) but control is better where you can 'put' the shuttle where you want it to be. Smash, no problem with that but I prefer NBG98 smash...

I cannot really do a proper comparison as both my BG80P and NBG98 are strung at diff tension and diff racket... so... just a basic review

**ChongHL** · 12-10-2012, 01:26 PM

Totally agreed with your review. Thanks man.

**markgab** · 12-26-2012, 08:03 PM

one can't go wrong with bg80p

durability/repulsion wise > bg80

why?

In the past i faithfully stayed with bg80 @ 27lbs and would snap my strings in about 1-2 sessions of badminton.

Then i switched to bg65ti! OMG it was really really durable but looses tension really quick, rarely broke the strings but had to string it at 30lbs.

Then i found bg80p @ 30lbs... it blew me away, found i had more durability than bg80 and more repulsion, strings would snap in about 3-5 sessions.

Best strings i've ever used....
Tried bg85/bg65/nbg95/nbg98/bg66 never liked them as they didn't get replusion and response from the strings

**davlee** · 12-26-2012, 09:02 PM

Wow... are you a national player or what? Snapping strings so frequently and tension at 30lbs??

**markgab** · 12-26-2012, 09:11 PM

lol am not, i just hit really hard

**Rivai Zhukov** · 02-07-2013, 11:23 AM

Using it with ArcSaber 10, 28 lbs. => 2 knots
Extremely powerful string than BG 80 and BG 66.
Repulsion is lower than BG 66 but not by much.
Say goodbye to BG 66, welcome BG 80 Power.
Exceeding my expectation, will never look back.
Best string after BG 66 Sharp.

I love this string. Repulsion is awesome, only thing I can complain about are the net shots. They bounce quite high, even when I don`t use additional force. Maybe I should string at a higher tension (currently at 24) ^^

When, I tried them on my Arcsaber Z-Slash, I didn't enjoy it at all.
I didn't really enjoy the BG80 either
