The Yonex BG66 Ultimax in Metallic White is the flagship colorway of Yonex’s most popular high-repulsion tournament string. Featuring an ultra-thin 0.65 mm gauge constructed with a high-intensity nylon multifilament core and high-polymer braided outer layer, it delivers maxed-out shuttle velocity, sharp tactile feedback, and an explosive acoustic pop on contact.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): Maximum bounce speed and rapid shuttle launch off the string bed thanks to the ultra-thin 0.65 mm gauge construction.
- Hitting Sound (10/10): Produces a loud, high-pitched acoustic crack on clean center-face contact.
- Control (10/10): Provides crisp string-bed feedback for precise net play, delicate drop shots, and sharp slicing angles.
- Shock Absorption (8/10): Medium-feeling string bed that comfortably disperses shock without feeling harsh.
- Durability (6/10): Lower wear life characteristic of ultra-thin gauge performance strings, requiring precise hitting to prevent mis-hit shearing.
