anyone has anymore info on this string or have actually played with this string? i read about this on another thread along with the discussion of another yonex racket so maybe to start a thread here if there's not already a thread for this string???
It won't be out until September but if you look in this section you can find (scarce) reviews about it's predecessor, the CBG100. Both are not actually natural gut but I guess are attempting to replicate the feeling or something. Babolat does have actual natural gut which has also been "reviewed" here iirc ... In any case I believe the comments about CBG100 weren't exactly positive, in particular given the price. Pretty sure my rackets were always restrung with natural gut when I just started, way back, and of course we started with nylon. Perhaps it makes a better combo ... but still for Cyber Natural, (probably) not worth the price since it will only come out in Japan at Japanese prices .
i guess everything is still speculations right now regarding cyber natural 200 since it's really really new. i'm just hoping that it would be something different in terms of feel and even sound and not too similar to all the other strings. i was hoping that there would some new strings like tennis where more and more people are using polyester strings.
oh wow, i'm getting excited about the new strings finally!!! new string with new material! hopefully yonex or someone will come up with polyester strings next!!!
Well, Winston is once again being generous - a set of CN200 is on its way to me for testing. Impressions and review to follow.
when i saw this thread jumped back up to the top of the list, i knew something great is about to happen. please please give us a review of the string. i am literally dying to find out what it's like playing with it!!!!!! but thank you for updating the rest of us!!!
The only thing I can read from that chart is that the last one is control. The rest could probably be figured out by someone who can read Chinese.
Well, it'll be power, control, feeling, durability, and sound... in whatever order. Power is normally at the top.
Yep. So it's... Repulsiveness - 8 Durability - 6 Hitting Sound - 6 Shock Absorption - 10 Control - 10
talked to david at badminton alley and found out we might not get this string in northern california, we're not sure yet. sucks..........
Well, here it is. Very interesting, and I haven't even opened it yet. Has a strange translucency, looking like (I'm sorry to say) cheapo synthetic gut tennis string. I've taken a picture of the back of the packet as well, and the cross section is very unusual - never seen a baddy string like this before. Seven counter-wound multifilament cores? I'll get my tournament out of the way, then test it... maybe on my incoming prototypes...
