    What are the differences, and why the price difference? I read the thread entitled "DinkALot's Badminton String Review" and it looked to me like BG66 is the better string, but then why does NBG98 cost more? I find it hard to beleive that it provides THAT much more power...

    Also, how do the strings feel?

    NBG-98 has some sort of coating on it and although it's the same gauge as BG-66, it's very different. It's also more durable.

    Yes, it does provide THAT much power.

    NBG-98 feels rather numb but if all you intend on doing is smashing the living daylights out of your opponents, it shouldn't be a problem.
