    Just a news for NA and EU regions. NBG88 is coming to the shop near you. Also there will be a new string targeted for extra durability. I will not comment on the playability on the new string.

    Geez, the current Nanogy strings are already like super durable. Something MORE durable???

    And there's gonna be something with extra durability? Like more durability than BG65, kinda factory strings durable?

    lol NBG 98....thought yonex really came out with another new string!:rolleyes: My regular stringer says it play like BG66, only more durable; for me, the feel is not as good as BG66....decided to stick with BG66 after trying NBG 98; but NBG98 looks pretty good with my Arc10:D

    Well, people in NA and EU has been screaming for NBG98 in their region for several years already. It is good that we can have some fun with it now...

    Wait... So we'll be getting that string too? NBG98 and BG66M? I hope they aren't 13 dollars like NBG95, though I have a feeling they will be.

    Dear Ants,

    You only get to try the good stuff. However, some one else need to try and write up the reports for the other not so high end...

    Well if they are $13 on mbs then I'd guess they'll be $20 in NA.

    Haha I wasn't expecting to get the NGY cheap, just maybe not 15 dollars. Maybe 12 or 10???

    Cheap and excellent? How about good friendship?

    LOL, friendships may be cheap financially (not always) but are expensive in other ways. Water can also be expensive depending on where you live...

    I've got a set of 98 and am going to string an Arc10 with it when my 85's break.

    the down side of durable string is they will keep on stretching.
    u will end up cutting it anyway

    SH, do u know if yonex planning to discontinue any strings?

    True true. And air at times can be free, but most definitely not excellent (thinking of LA, Ca air, or Metro Manila, Philippines) oh well

    Well most brick and mortar stores don't like to carry NGY98 yet. It's very hard to find unless you order online. This might be my opportunity to finally try it, though I doubt I'd like it at my low tension of 23.
