The Yonex BG 66 Ultimax (Yellow) is a benchmark, high-repulsion badminton string widely chosen by world-class 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 balance of lightning-fast shuttle speed, pin-point control, and crisp medium feeling. The bright Yellow colorway provides a striking, high-visibility neon accent on the court.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): The thin 0.65 mm gauge produces maximum snapback and effortless shuttle acceleration on clears, drives, and smashes.
- Hitting Sound (10/10): Delivers a crisp, sharp, high-pitched metallic crack on clean contact that adds satisfying acoustic feedback to offensive play.
- Control & Touch (10/10): Superior shuttle bite and string bed feedback allow for precise placement on delicate spin drops, net hairpins, and slices.
- Medium Hitting Feel (8/10): Offers a comfortable, responsive feel that balances crisp stiffness with adequate shock absorption for off-center hits.
- Durability (6/10): Built for elite performance and snapback speed over longevity; requires frequent re-stringing compared to thicker 0.68 mm–0.70 mm gauges.
Best Suited For
- Professional & Tournament Competitors: Ideal for advanced players who prioritize maximum shuttle speed, control, and hitting sound over long-term durability.
- Fast-Paced Attacking & All-Around Specialists: Designed for players who rely on quick reactions, drive exchanges, and sharp drop shots.
- High-Visibility & Vibrant Aesthetic: Perfect for players looking for a bright neon yellow string bed that pops against dark or neutral racquet frames.
- Frequent Stringers & Club Players: The 200m reel yields roughly 20–22 restrings, significantly lowering overall stringing costs per racquet.
