Where to buy Yonex BG65 Reels

**CoolDoo6** · 03-16-2007, 06:52 PM

Does anyone know a good place for buying BG65 reels for delivery to UK ? I am looking for a good price on 1000m. mybadmintonstore had the best price I know but they no longer have stock. I contacted them, and it doesn't appear that they will restock any time soon.

Don't forget you would need some bulk size WD-40 to lub your 1000m bg65 http://www.instawares.com/wd-40-55-g...c10118.0.7.htm

www.badmintonshoponline.us has decent deals for 10 or 20 packs of BG65.

I am beyond the need for WD40. I find all strings can be made powerful using the magic words Tension, Tension. This is why BG65 is such a powerful string worth buying lots of.

If you find your yellow Ti-10 a bit lacking in the power department, I'd suggest you give your thin BG66 a copious squirt of WD40.

try W & D strings - www.watdon.com
phone them on 01580 752972 as they don't put much of their product range on their website

then why bg65?...there must be something cheaper, or thicker (more durable: cheaper)
like ashaway rally 21....at 15 lbs a lifetime supply would be roughly 10 packs

if I were you I'd just mail every baddyshop in the UK askign for either a 1000m roll...or 3-4 200m rolls..and see who goes lowest

but it would be less wasteful than spraying wd40 and wipe. With a drum full, he can soak several reels of bg65 as long as necesary, like those chinese lizard tonic medicine

CD6 can make back the money from selling 'pre-soaked' strings according to his recipe.

I still don't know why he sprays wd 40 on the strings?? Does it last longer? more powerful etc.??

Cos BG65 has the best combination of durability, customer recognition, value for money, and abundance supply.

I have already secured a life time supply of MLXL for my own use. The BG65 is for restringing jobs.

ohh I see, I thought you were using it for yourself. You're right though, certainly about demand...

No, no. WD40 is no secret at all, as I have already shared in the string mod thread. String power on the other hand, is a top, top secret. If you are willing to explore outside of the cage Yonex placed you in, perhaps you may find the secret for yourself. But then again, you may not. I stumbled upon the secret by accident. It took me a couple of times falling over it to realise what it was.
