    i was doing some Chinese New Year clean up the other day and found some old strings that i have stashed up in a box. BG66 with old packaging and old logo. i think i bought them back in 1997-8 from badminton alley. there were other strings in the box too but they probably been used already.

    Wow, antique strings...wonder if they are as collectable as Old rackets!

    Would be interesting for you to test them & see if they play any different to the modern BG66, as Yonex must have changed the method or composition in nearly 15yrs

    Does it still say all the things about a multi-filament core/ratings for durability and power and all of that on the back?
    I wonder if yonex ever changed it's opinion on its products

    here is what it says:

    "This multi-filament string in ultra-thin 0.66mm gauge delivers a new dimension in quality and performance.
    Higher resilience, excellent durability and low elongation."
