Yonex BG-AS Aerosonic Badminton Reel , White

The Yonex BG-AS Aerosonic Badminton String Reel (200m, White) features an ultra-thin 0.61mm gauge, making it the thinnest string in Yonex's lineup. It uses Yonex's Compact Filled Structure, where high-intensity resin seals the voids between the core nylon filaments to deliver high strength, tension stability, and snap-back despite its thin diameter.

Performance Profile

1. Repulsion Power (11/10): Among the highest repulsion ratings across all Yonex strings; the ultra-fine gauge flexes rapidly to launch the shuttle effortlessly off the string bed.
2. Hitting Sound (11/10): Produces a sharp, high-pitched metallic "pop" on clean hits due to low air resistance and rapid elastic recoil.
3. Control (7/10): Delivers fine touch at the net, tight drops, and deceptive slices.
4. Shock Absorption (7/10): Soft on the wrist and arm compared to stiffer, thicker strings.
5. Durability (5/10): Being ultra-thin, it sacrifices longevity and breaks faster than standard-gauge options.

Best Suited For

1. Speed & Front-Court Players: Ideal for fast-paced players who rely on quick drives, net pushes, and deceptive touch.
2. Players Needing Effortless Power: Perfect for players with lower arm strength or precise wrist movement who want high shuttle velocity with minimal physical effort.
3. Custom Hybrid Setups: Widely used as a cross string paired with a textured or thicker main string (e.g., Aerobite or BG80) to maximize repulsion while keeping spin and frame durability.
4. Advanced Players with Clean Sweet-Spot Contact: Highly recommended for experienced players whose hitting consistency prevents off-center frame mishits that snap thin strings.
