    eddiemon asked a opinion on his string while blaskfrost asked a comparision which can be searched.

    NBG95 only cost a dollar or 2 more than other yonex strings.

    yes if compared to the BG series but no in general. Less expensive than NBG98.

    If you are talking about SP/CH NBG95 then yes it's cheaper but if JP NBG95 then no it's the same price as NBG98

    Had BG66 on my 900T at 25#, did not lose tension much in a month, but feels flat after 3 weeks.

    Whereas 25# NBG98 on my 900T lasted 3 months before it frayed. It was always fresh and crisp and has good repulsion. The sound was great IMHO. But I cut it and restrung before it breaks on its own.

    NBG98 is the best if you can get it on your racket.

    I currently have NBG95 as a close alternative on my 900T (4UG4)

    Do you string your own racquets?

    ok, did your stringer say that it was a challenging racquet to string?

    never asked him that, should not be challenging since there is a diagram to follow in the catalog and it is only 25#. What do I know about stringing ;)
    Sorry no clue on your question, just guesstimated my response.

    How can this be? One is a string, the other a racquet. Each cannot be an alternative to the other.;)

    NBG98 is only distributed in JP code. There may be NBG98 in SP and CH but no one can confirm that.

    Indeed.
    NBG95 as a close alternative to my NBG98 on my 900T.
    Did that sound better ?

    phandrew, if there was no possible way for you to get a hold of NBG98, what string would you resort to?

    If money wasn't an issue then BG66 or CBG100. I know they snap much faster so spending a bit more money(BG66) or spending the same amount of money(CBG100) on NBG98 but lasting much longer.

    If money was an issue then NBG95 would be the best since it has good power and durability.
