The Yonex BG 66 Ultimax (Pearl Navy) is a premier, high-repulsion badminton string chosen globally by tour professionals and competitive players. Engineered with an ultra-thin 0.65 mm gauge using High-Intensity Nylon Multifilament and a high-polymer braided outer layer, BG66 Ultimax provides maximum shuttle repulsion, ultra-precise shuttle control, and a crisp medium impact feel. The subtle, pearlescent Pearl Navy finish brings a sophisticated, deep-blue sheen to any racquet setup.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): The 0.65 mm gauge produces maximum string bed snapback, driving flat drives, deep clears, and smashes off the racquet with lightning velocity.
- Hitting Sound (10/10): Delivers a crisp, sharp, high-pitched metallic pop 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 hairpin nets, 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): Optimized strictly for elite speed, control, and acoustic report; 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, pin-point 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.
- Sophisticated Pearl Finish Aesthetic: Great choice for players looking for a deep, metallic navy string bed that pairs elegantly with blue, white, silver, or black racquet frames.
- Frequent Stringers & High-Volume Players: The 200m reel yields approximately 20–22 restrings, significantly lowering the overall restringing cost per racquet.
