    Hello there fellow players, have anyone of you heard of this type of string before? I need some information about this string, how is the performance? Also your review and opinion about it, thanks.

    whoa, Kwun, where did you get that from?
    Is it only available in SP areas? I have never seen one in HK or TW or in the US.

    I was first introduced this string by the sports shop dude some two months ago and being new, I didn't dare to go and try it out (sticking to BG-85 I've been using since last year) and I did ask about it some time earlier this year on BF.

    The guy said BG-7 is almost like BG-65 in attribute, but cheaper.
    I don't know about this - someone must try out and tell us about it.

    If it's any indication of availability, then let's make a stock and location check.

    Malaysia - Yes.

    Anywhere else?

    In the Philippines, the Yonex shop in SM Megamall sold a few packs of them when I went there the past Christmas. Not sure about the price, though. Also positive that Yonex Thailand doesn't sell BG-7 either.

    HK - not checked out the shops yet.

    Looks like the responsibilty falls on you, Wilfred :p

    0.69mm thickness...interesting spec. Slightly thicker than BG 85, thinner than BG65. I'm curious.

    since it's in old packaging, I am wondering if those are old strings from ages before?

    On the website it also says that it is more expensive than BG-65.

    (28, compared to 25 for BG65)
