That's a lot of strings you've tried!! Go test out BG70 Pro for completeness! I'm currently deciding if I should switch from my "magic" strings to nbg95. It feels very different compared to the other BG.
I have a question that i wanna ask for a long time...Is the nbg95 only for nano rackets? can it be use under titanum rackets or other rackets? Will there be a lot of difference?
You can use any string on any racquet.. It's just that quite alot of NS9K users tend to use NBG95 or NBG98 because.. I dont know.. the colours match, I guess.. But Blue would be better
Just got my AT900P re-strung with NBG95@25# since NBG98 is still out of stock. Could not stand the BG85@25# on the 900P : a weird flat feeling like whacking a cockcroach with a newspaper. so for NBG95: Oh well, at least the sound WOW factor for a flat hit sounds impressive on this NBG95 string. Also, the repulsion is much better. But it does dampen the shock a tad more than BG80 and 85, maybe some people refer to as "numb-feel". Will post more info if my impressions changes after I play next couple of times. Still NBG98 rules for me.
1) You actually whack cockroach with a newspaper? 2) You should have string the racquet with BG85 @ 22x24 or may be 21X24. It is a thinner string and holds tension better. 3) Yes, it feel real stiff with BG85 when you string at high tension. 4) Look at the bright side, BG85 broke pretty quick at that high tension. Well, it is actually not to bright side...
I thought about it, my BG80 was strung at 25# on my Cab30ms and it was great. So thought I'd try the same with the BG85 on my 900P since both have vectran. However BG80 at 25# on my cab30ms feels better (not as dead) than BG85 @ 25# on my 900p. But I am comparing apples and oranges due to the different frames & strings.
The Cab30ms feels more tactile because its materials are more homogeneous than those used in the AT900P, the latter using graphite with elastic ti.
Yonex Ti 10 with NNG 95 strung 26lbs is great. My smash is more acurate and speed I think improved compare to BG68Ti. Great sound to. Slice drop is also good..and the string give more feeling and response. But it is expensive. Using this string yesterday and guess what!! I don'nt have any shoulder or arm soreness. Either my technique is improving or the string suit me better than BG68Ti.
Strung my Ti-10 (3rd Generation) today with NBG 95 at 20 x 22 and I felt it lacked power compared to the BG-80 (I have a Cab 20 Original with BG 80 @ 19 x 21). I felt as though I was playing with Ti strings, too soft of strings and lacked power. When they pop, I'll be back to BG 80 (they don't sell NBG 98 in Montreal).
I'm going to try the nbg95 after I've had them for so long in the bag. If they aren't great, I'll do what magiadam does and head back on the bg80 band wagon
Use NGB98, that will make the difference. NGB98 is not avaiable in Montreal because Yonex Canada doesn't have them. You have to get it from overseas. Good thing I have 2 x NGB98 200M reels.
After using nbg95 for a year since my last post, maybe longer i have come to a conclusion that it is infact, the "best" string out there in my opinion really =P bought another racket few months back and strung it with nbg95 again 24lbs i think, First of all, I bought two rackets, one was strung with Yonex68ti i think, and the other was nbg95 both at 24lbs, and smashing, net play etc was much better with the nbg95 racket
I tried BG65, BG65Ti, BG68Ti, BG80, BG85, NBG95. NBG95 has great power, good durability, not bad for holding tension but hard to control at first. To me BG85 the best string, great power, good control. BG80 similar to BG85 but BG85 has more power and feel better. BG65Ti also good string, great for smash, feel similar to BG65 but has more power compare to BG65. Need to string 1-2 lbs more compare to others. Here is what I think: Durability: BG65>=BG65Ti>NBG95>BG80>BG85 Holding Tension: 85>=80>95>65Ti>65 Power: 85>80>95>65ti>65 Control:85>=80>65>65Ti>=95 I don't really like BG68Ti, would prefer BG65Ti with 1-2 lbs plus over BG68Ti. Btw I strung all my rackets at around 24-25 lbs.
Hi guys, one of my friend bought his Voltric 80 from HK, and to my suprise, it was strung with NGY95 in YELLOW colour!? when did Yonex introduce the yellow colour in? I remember it has only 2 colours (cosmic gold, and silver/graphite colour)
