Yonex BG 80

Yonex BG 0.68 mm gauge 20–26 lbs

Soft, controlled, crisp impact. The classic 'feel' string before BG80 Power took over the popularity charts.

Yonex frames BG80 as the control-feel benchmark. Soft contact with a crisp bite — the string that defined what a Yonex midrange was supposed to feel like.
