The line of the badminton racket is like the arrow to the bow, so a good racket needs to be paired with a good line to exert its true power, as the saying goes, "three points to shoot the seven-point line". But in fact, many golfers understand the importance of the line, but do not know how to choose.
In many places, going to the physical store to thread is often such a scene: if you only say that the thread is threaded and there is no requirement for the line, the store often gives you a direct wear of the Yonex BG65 line, collect forty or fifty pieces, if you do not understand the ball line model, only ask the boss to "better" the ball line, often the store will give you a BG95 line, charge twenty more.
This approach is very safe, but there are more than these two ball lines in the world, if we can understand the performance characteristics of the ball line, when choosing, we will not miss the line that is most suitable for us.
Since most amateurs usually like to choose Yonex shooting line when playing, the small editor of the love badminton will only focus on Yonex's badminton racket line today.
First, Yonex shooting line classification
Yonex badminton racket lines can be divided into 4 categories in general, namely control, sound, durability and high elasticity. In order to make it easier for golfers to remember these racket lines, Yonex specially distinguishes the color of the outer packaging bag of each category of racket line. The control type shoot line packaging bag is always green, the sound type is red, the durable type is yellow, and the high-elastic type is blue.
Control type: NBG-99 (¥82), BG-AB (¥88), BG-ABBT (¥88), BG-SKY (¥88)
Sound type: BG-85 (¥68), BG-68TI (¥68)
Durable type: NBG-95 (¥76), BG-65 (¥50), BG-65TI (¥58)
高弹型:BG-6(¥33)、BG-US(¥85)、BG-66UM(¥68)G-98(¥82)、BG-80(¥68)、BG-80P(¥76)、BGXB-63(¥76)

Second, Yonex shooting line details
(a) BG-65
Wire diameter: 0.70mm
【Keywords】Resistant to beating, balanced
BG65 can be said to be the highest sales of all badminton lines on the market, the highest recognition of a ball line, which is inseparable from its stable performance, high cost performance, its excellent play resistance and balanced ball feeling, since more than twenty years ago on the market, similar products are still unbeatable.
BG-65's jersey uses spiral-woven synthetic fibers, flexible and wear-resistant, at low pounds, BG-65 has an extremely durable performance, the ball feeling is moderate, the elasticity is average, but when the pound count is not high, it often makes beginners have "Do I keep playing this line?" "Psychological shadows. At high weights, the advantages of the BG-65 are more obvious, and its durability is significantly higher than other ball lines under the premise that the ball sense is not bad, which makes many professional players also favor it.
It can be said that whether in the amateur circle, or among professional players, the 65 line is a classic shooting line, and it is no wonder that when amateurs do not know what to wear, the store always recommends BG-65 to golfers, even if this is not the best, but it will never be bad.
(ii) BG-65TI
【Keywords】Resistant, hard
BG-65TI on the basis of BG-65, on the surface of the fiber using high-density titanium hydride coating, excellent elasticity, excellent wear resistance, hard and powerful batting feeling, can enhance the killing power and reduce vibration. The physical properties of titanium hydride are hard and brittle, which brings about poor ductility of the ball line, the rigidity becomes stronger, compared to the BG-65 line, the 65TI batting sense is a little harder, but the characteristics of titanium hydride make the ductility of the coating and the inside of the ball line different, compared to the BG-65 The probability of accidental collapse is also a little higher.
BG-65TI is slightly less resistant than BG-65, but the elasticity is better than BG-65, which is very suitable for enthusiasts who want to be the most flexible on the basis of play resistance. BG-65TI has also been very popular among professional players, its characteristics are suitable for offensive players who love high pounds, love yuke Xiaobian has been using BG-65TI for more than a decade, can take into account the pull up pounds and economy, even if it is more than 28 pounds, it is more resistant to fighting, not too fast, but if the number of pounds pulled is too low, it will not be able to play the sound effect of "bang bang bang".
(iii) BG-80
Wire diameter: 0.68mm
【Keywords】Hard, elastic
In the statistics of the use of ball lines by Ai Yuke for international professional players, the BG-80 has become the most used line for professional players. What is the magic of the BG-80 that makes the pros so favored?
With a diameter of 0.68mm, the ball is at the junction of resistance and elasticity, but the BG-80 is no less elastic than some of the thinner balls, thanks to the Vectran fiber added to the core of the 80 line, and the rough surface of the oval nylon braid.
Ai Yuke Xiaobian "dissected" a piece of BG80 line, on the outside of the core, we can see that there are darker white fibers wrapped around the surface of the core, which is the Vector fiber.
The fibers of the 80-thread coat are relatively coarse, and the mesh can be seen on the thread clothing, and the surface is rougher than that of ordinary thread clothing.
Vectran is a high-strength polyarylene fiber product introduced by The Kuraray Company in the 1990s, with an elongation of less than 2.5%, which has better abrasion resistance and low moisture absorption than Kevlar fiber, the material for body armor.
The performance reflected in these characteristics on the ball line is: good weight retention, hard hitting, good elasticity, excellent effect when killing the ball vigorously, with first-class elasticity, but also more shocking. Another feature of BG80 is its thread jacket, this oval fiber is thicker than ordinary fiber, and the special oval shape creates its rough surface, making the 80 line hit harder and more frictional when touching the ball. Due to the characteristics of the 80-thread clothing, in actual use, the durability of the 80-wire is not high.
（四）BG-80P
【Keywords】Elasticity
BG-80P's sense of play is actually not too similar to the 80 line, although both are offensive ball lines, but the 80P and 80 lines are the same only the core, the 80P line coat uses the same durable line as the BG65 line, on the basis of 80, the durability of the 80P is much higher, and the sense of hitting is softer, not as crisp as the 80 line, but more soft. It is worth affirming that 80P is also a good line, especially in the case of high-pounds, its offensive and durability have been well balanced, suitable for the vast majority of players who love offense and high-pounds.
(5) NBG-95
Wire diameter: 0.69mm
【Keywords】Elasticity, balance, resistance
Finally speaking of the 95 line, this ball line that has also stood the test of time is a representative of the balanced ball line, especially suitable for amateur players.
The biggest difference between the Yonex NBG series and the BG series is the addition of nano-coating, this coating brings excellent elasticity and hit resistance to NBG95, the nano-coating brings a soft sense of hitting to the 95 line, the racket feels more comfortable after getting started, and its wire diameter uses 0.69 mm composite nylon wire, the overall performance is like a comprehensive upgrade of BG-65: the play resistance is close to BG-65, the elasticity and ball feeling have been improved, and it is a very balanced and comprehensive ball line.
(f) NBG-98
Wire diameter: 0.66mm
The three ball lines of the NBG series are NBG-95, NBG-98 and NBG-99, of which the positioning of NBG-95 is fully balanced, and the NBG-98 is the best elastic one of the NBG series.
Its 0.66 wire diameter originally has a good elasticity, with the nano-coating is even more powerful, NBG-98 for the pursuit of line elasticity and comfortable feel of the golfer, is a rare good line.
(vii) NBG-99
【Keywords】 Ball control, balance
The NBG-99 is the tallest of YONEX's polyester ball cords, often given away in limited edition gift boxes, and is positioned as a more high-end ball cord.
Although they are all 0.69MM wire diameter, but compared to the NBG-95, NBG-99 line coat is somewhat different, its line coat uses oval and round two kinds of fiber weaving, the weaving method is called "concave and convex fiber wave weaving", making a very rough surface of the line, greatly strengthening the friction of the ball line, so that its ball control is further improved, in addition to the nano coating, so that the NBG99 line in the ball control, resistant, elastic have a very good performance, for the players of the pull control type, This ball cord is very suitable.
(八)BG-66UM
Wire diameter: 0.65mm
【Keywords】Elasticity, sound
Golfers who have studied the equipment a little must have some understanding of BG66UM, and the reason why this ball line is more well-known is because Lin Dan and Li Zongwei have used this ball line.
BG66-UM wire diameter is 0.65mm, before the BG-AS listing, has been occupying the name of the thinnest ball line in the YONEX camp, its elasticity is also leading among many ball lines, and the unique ultimax coating makes the batting sound of the ball line more sharp, killing the ball can be more exciting, and in direct proportion to this enjoyment, it is BG66-UM's extremely low durability, for the ball point is not accurate or the strength of the golfer, this ball line is often a second break, even if it is normal wear, the life of the ball line is short and pitiful, the local tycoon can use it at will.
(ix) BG-85
Wire diameter: 0.67mm
【Keywords】 elasticity, ball control
Among the ball lines of YONEX, there are three ball lines that are called "elastic three masters" in the industry, namely BG-80, BG-68TI and BG-85. Compared with the BG80, the BG85 has a thinner diameter, and also uses Vectoran fibers to wrap the core, creating its strong feeling of play, the overall feeling of hitting the ball is hard, the elasticity is excellent, but this line is also flat in terms of resistance.
The positioning of the BG85 in the YONEX ball line is positioned in the "sound effect type", in fact, the loud batting sound is only a subsidiary performance of the BG85.
(10) BG-68TI
【Keywords】Elasticity, titanium
If the BG-85 is the elastic reinforcement version of the 80-line, then the BG-68TI is the elastic reinforcement version of the BG65-TI, which has a 0.68 mm wire diameter, the same titanium hydride coating as the 65TI, but under the thinner wire diameter, the BG68TI is obviously more crisp when killing the ball than the 65TI. For golfers who like the 65TI's playing feeling, you may wish to try the more flexible 68TI.
(xi) BG-AS
Wire diameter: 0.61mm
【Keywords】Extremely fine and elastic
The emergence of BG-AS has refreshed the thinnest ball line record of YONEX, but its positioning has also become the most elastic ball line in the YONEX ball line camp, in order to strengthen its durability, the core fiber used by BGAS has stronger toughness, which makes it feel harder, close to BG85. However, in contrast to its extremely high elasticity, BG-AS is less durable.
(xii) BG-AB
Line diameter: vertical line 0.67mm / horizontal line 0.61mm
【Keywords】 comprehensive, flexible, ball control
BG-AB is a sub-busbar, the sub-busbar has been popular in the tennis line before, and badminton is rarely asked, but YONEX this line makes the sub-busbar really enter the field, but also into the field of amateur players.
The BG-AB's horizontal line uses a 0.61 mm diameter BGAS ball line, which is the thinnest ball line ever produced by YONEX, with very good elasticity, but very general durability. The vertical line is a very characteristic ball line, called Aerobite, its diameter is 0.67 mm, the surface has a polyurethane coating, very sticky, in the hitting of the ball head friction is larger, has a good ball control.
The horizontal line is responsible for elasticity, and the vertical line is responsible for ball control, which brings BGAB's excellent feel, and players such as Arcelor, Marlene, and Sindhu have all chosen this line. For amateur players, players who like excellent elasticity, good ball control and are not worried about playability can choose this ball line, and its performance is definitely worth a try.
Third, the number of threading pounds
Finally, let's talk about the number of threading pounds that everyone cares about, in principle, the number of pounds that are suitable for themselves is the best, the number of explosive pounds can be pulled up a little, the explosive force is weak and the pounds are pulled down a little, do not blindly pursue high pounds, so as not to hurt the wrist, "people beat one" in order to maximize your strength. The same is true from the perspective of international players, Li Zongwei 30 pounds, Lin Dan 31 pounds, Li Xuerui 30 pounds, Yu Yang 33 pounds, Li Yuanwenyin 24 pounds, Acesaron 34 pounds, and Yamaguchi Akane 27 pounds.
