    well as everyone who has read this is thinking the same thing
    Whats your Playing Style?
    Whats your Racket?

    without that info how are we supposed to recommend a string for you?
    Why Limit yourself to Yonex?
    Bg66 is good but lacks in durability and is pricey.

    differences in string can vary from durability, power, repulsion, control/grip, sound and colour :p

    IMO, dinks string chart is a good place to start off. Of course since it is his review, you may not feel the same, but in most cases the information is pretty accurate.

    what is best for them may not be the best for you
    and very often this knowledge comes from experimental with different strings and tension

    I used BG65, BG66 ang BG80.
    BG65 is really durable but the power and repulsion is not so good compare to the other 2 below. BG66 is really good and value for money and most my friend also using it.
    BG80 is excellent when string in higher tension esp 27lbs and above but if you are not regular player, I would not recommend it since it may feel hard on the hitting.

    BG66 is good enough for beginner. If you can break this string in short period of time, then it is time to change to other string. :D

    BG80 is a good alternative after BG66, powerful and more durable.

    Actually it also depends on how often u play. If you are not a regular player, find some strings can hold tension longer.

    i use many rackets actually... but i always use wilson n-code, yonex arcsaber z slash and fleet... i prefer to play fast attacking game... i agree with u that bg 66 is lack of durability and the strings easily broken everytime i played smashes
