    best is to try them out. They r both great strings so u can't go wrong if u try both of them.

    I couldn't agree more with BG-80, it's the best!

    Thanks Sir DinkaLot for your excellent review. Since you seem to be very astute with badminton string, allow me to ask this question. If there a quality disparity in yonex string from different country version. Let's say, CH vs US version. Thanks in advance!

    I have not found any differences in performance. I usually buy SP strings.

    I don't think there is a difference in quality in strings from country to country, just like their rackets.

    That I disagree with; from early 2005 to December 2006, I have consistently seen TH rackets less durable, with inferior paint quality than JP, CH and US rackets.

    Don't know about this year since I haven't gotten any TH rackets.

    I guess i shouldn't have said what I did, I haven't used all the region codes. Only US, CD and JP

    Try here :

    They ship worldwide.

    I have bought many reels of strings at this place so far and never had a complain. They are very reliable and serious :) You won't be disappointed

    Why? Their Yonex reels are more expensive then single pack.
    A reel of BG 80 is $240
    20 packs of BG80 = $190

    Agree; but NRC is consistently slow in shipping and responding to e-mails. You have to call them and constantly follow up with them to get your order.

    I've ordered over 10 times from them and each time I had to follow up with my order (a few orders, multiple calls) and each time there were delays.

    But in defense of NRC, they've never let me down and they are always pleasant on the phone. :D

    sorry for going off topic here but i cant resist the temptation of asking the question
