Definitely agree for power and durability but definitely not for touch, control, finessee and feel.

I will do a comparison review of all my favorite strings and break them down.

For just power, stiff: NBG95, NBG98
For just power, soft: Ashaway ML, ML-XL

For all-around, stiffer strings, I like:

BG80, BG85, BG66, BG70Pro, Gosen BS810, R4300, Pro70, Tactic TG-80

For all-around softer strings, I like:
Ashaway MP, PG65, PG66

No such thing. It is probably a fake string if it is on the market

Costly though at £19.50p or $38

Caption reads :
First grade natural gut, the very best badminton string money can buy.

I was thinking I may use this next on my Armortec 500.

I'm new on here so I'm not sure if what I am saying is blasphemous mentioning Babolat. Try your best not to shoot me down.

W&D have this for £13 + VAT, and if you pay within 7 days you can get 5% off. 0.75 and 0.70 versions are available. It's worth asking if they have Nanogy 98 now, as well.

Er... don't know if it's ok to post here or not leh?

I managed to lay my hands on a set... now sitting in my bag and waiting
for a while more to be up in my racket as I just got my racket restrung for
less than 3 weeks than the stock arrived... the pack I got was the last
one...

Maybe if you keen, drop me an email and I can see what can be done for you.

nano 98 its not as good they advertise
I prefer BG 66 Sharp
One advice for all of U who want to try out this string,don't put it in the high tension,because it will be sucks,different from bg 66 sharp wich is good in high and low tension

I Use 32lbs in Indonesia Standart My Friend told me,its about 26 or 27 in International Standart (1 or 2 lbs lower than yours),cause 30 lbs in Indo its about 25 lbs in International,maybe because no one callibrate their string machine in my country

Yes, kristian is rite.
In Jakarta at the same tension with different stringers will result different.
Poor us

**Matt** · 09-07-2007, 12:25 AM

Sounds like incompetent stringers IMO!

**sifuyono** · 09-07-2007, 01:58 AM

not all of them, some have properly calibrate their machine, so the % deviation is little.
but it doesn't really matter, specially if u string at the same shop everytime

**6 woods** · 09-12-2007, 12:24 AM

NBG98 is very good strings..
Sound good with good control and repulsion.
Great for defense.
But it last too long...
Maybe it is nanogy.. it straches but doesn't break!

And after a while is kinda lose and slip around!
And because it is not cheap, you really want to
play til it breaks.

For me its last 3 - 4 time the regular BG66 strings!

I also tried the cyber natural 100, it has great control,
but is some what weak on smaching..
And it doesn't last too !

nbg98 takes too long to break??..lol how hard can u hit?..or did u just string it @ a low tension? i broke it within 3 weeks..=p..but yea..nbg98 is one of the best strings i've played with..and..its not THAT expensive..if you get a whole reel from shuttle-house..like what I did..is a pretty good deal..
