The Yonex BG 66 Ultimax (Red) is a flagship, high-repulsion badminton string favored globally by professional players and competitive tournament athletes. Featuring an ultra-thin 0.65 mm gauge constructed with High-Intensity Nylon Multifilament and a high-polymer outer wrap, BG66 Ultimax offers the ultimate combination of maximum shuttle speed, pin-point control, and a crisp medium feeling. The bold Red colorway adds an aggressive, high-energy aesthetic to any racquet string bed.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): The thin 0.65 mm gauge produces maximum snapback, driving flat exchanges, clears, and smashes off the string bed with effortless speed.
- Hitting Sound (10/10): Delivers a sharp, high-pitched metallic crack on clean contact that provides satisfying acoustic feedback during offensive rallies.
- Control & Touch (10/10): Exceptional string bed feedback and shuttle bite allow for pin-point accuracy on delicate net hairpins, cross-court drops, and slices.
- Medium Hitting Feel (8/10): Offers a comfortable, highly responsive feel that balances crisp power transfer with adequate shock absorption.
- Durability (6/10): Engineered purely for elite shuttle velocity, touch, and acoustic report; requires more frequent restringing than thicker 0.68 mm–0.70 mm gauges.
Best Suited For
- Professional & Tournament Athletes: Ideal for advanced players who prioritize maximum shuttle speed, precision, and acoustic feedback over long-term durability.
- Fast-Paced Attacking Specialists: Designed for doubles specialists and aggressive singles players who rely on quick reaction speeds, flat drives, and sharp drop shots.
- Bold & Aggressive Aesthetic: Perfect for players seeking a vibrant red string bed that stands out dramatically against black, white, or red racquet frames.
- Frequent Stringers & Club Players: The 200m reel yields roughly 20–22 restrings, significantly lowering overall stringing costs per racquet.
