    Woohoo! I absolutely love this string for its power and sound. Only problem is it's way too expensive. Hopefully it will now be more affordable :eek:

    Not to dampen your enthusiasm, I wouldn't expect much from it til I test it out. Yonex always have that double standard when it comes to sp and jp stuff.

    due to the favored increase in US$, get them from UK. they have NBG98 about the same price as BG-65. of course, we have to pay for shipping charge. BUT, if you buy a lot, you win at the end.

    nano strings as far as I know, don't come in white. for NBG98, I know of red, pink, cosmic gold, black and yellow i think.

    in the web provided, the price for NBG98 is 58 Pounds for 200-m reel, or ~4 Pounds for 10-m pack. it's like only US$6 per 10-m pack!!!

    you can add them to the cart and then try to go through the check-out process, and see the shipping charge.

    for 3x 200-m reels, the shipping is 8 Pounds.

    PS: since we are in USA, the price will be 15% less, which is the VAT in UK.

    as for shipping charge, maybe. BUT, you will have to pay full price since you are in EU, correct? Therefore, the overall price might be higher for you.:D

    :D Not at the current exchange rate. Well might come out at roughly the same price I see (thought NBG95 was a lot more expensive than turns out) but I haven't seen it here yet anyway. Alternatively could have it send to Switzerland ;). VAT is back up to 17.5% now btw.
    Still have to try out the single I have here anyway but noticed they have BG66 as well which they don't have here either.

    8GBP is ridiculously low :cool: Think I was quoted something like 30GBP for 5 reels once somewhere else and that was only across a little pond (UK to Netherlands, the pond being the North Sea :p ) ... I swear the Royal Mail uses student rowing teams to send their mail across the amount of time it takes most of the time :rolleyes: (received a cd May 1st that was sent the 14th of April!)
