    Has the BG 66 met the end of the road? I was looking through the Yonex Jp site, and did not see the BG 66 anywhere in the charts. Has it gone bye bye???

    its been taken off for quite a while now... i think they are trying to promote newer and more expensive string such as bg 88ti or bg 75ti to noobies in badminton (damn marketing strategies):mad::mad: :mad: . but they are still available in the market. lets just hope that it will continue to be that way so we bg66 user can still continue usin it.

    I used the BG66 when I was playing in Brunei, but that was a "while" back. BG 66 is a good string but never seem to be taken with the masses like the BG65. Too bad. I still have a couple of them. Now I am using BG85.

    BG66 is still available (well, at least in TW areas) with new packagings. (the blue packs instead of the old green ones)

    Its available everywhere in Spore too.

    In fact, in some shops, its the most well stocked. I guess its pretty popular, my fave string.
