The Yonex BG 66 Ultimax (Pastel Green) is a tour-proven, high-repulsion badminton string trusted globally by elite competitive players. Featuring an ultra-thin 0.65 mm gauge constructed with High-Intensity Nylon Multifilament and a high-polymer braided outer layer, BG66 Ultimax provides the perfect balance of maximum shuttle speed, pin-point control, and a crisp medium impact feel. The refreshing Pastel Green colorway offers a subtle, modern aesthetic that adds a distinctive look to any racquet setup.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): The slim 0.65 mm gauge produces maximum string bed snapback, driving flat drives, deep clears, and smashes off the racquet with effortless speed.
- Hitting Sound (10/10): Delivers a crisp, sharp, high-pitched metallic crack on clean contact that adds rewarding acoustic feedback to offensive shots.
- Control & Touch (10/10): Superior shuttle bite and string bed feel allow for pin-point placement on delicate net hairpins, cross-court drops, and slices.
- Medium Hitting Feel (8/10): Balances crisp stiffness with controlled shock absorption to deliver clean tactile feedback without feeling harsh on off-center hits.
- Durability (6/10): Engineered purely for peak performance, shuttle velocity, and touch over longevity; requires more frequent restringing than thicker 0.68 mm–0.70 mm gauges.
Best Suited For
- Professional & Competitive Athletes: Ideal for tournament players who demand top-tier shuttle speed, precision, and sharp acoustic feedback.
- Fast-Paced Attacking & Tactical Players: Perfect for doubles players and front-court specialists who rely on rapid drive exchanges, net touch, and quick counter-attacks.
- Distinct Pastel Aesthetic: Great choice for players looking for a soft, modern green string bed that pairs stylishly with black, white, mint, or dark green racquet frames.
- Frequent Stringers & High-Volume Players: The 200m reel yields approximately 20–22 restrings, significantly lowering the overall restringing cost per racquet.
