Ultra-thin Gauge: The BG66 (and its variants like BG66 Ultimax and BG66 Force) typically features a thin gauge of 0.65mm or 0.66mm. This thinness is a major contributor to its high repulsion power, allowing for faster and more powerful shots, including devastating smashes.
High Repulsion Power: This is one of the most celebrated aspects of the BG66 series. The string's construction is designed to transfer energy efficiently to the shuttlecock, resulting in an "easy power" feel and a satisfying, clear hitting sound.
Excellent Control: Despite its focus on repulsion, the BG66 series doesn't sacrifice control. Its responsive feel allows players to place shots with precision, whether it's a delicate drop shot or a controlled clear.
Core Material: It typically uses a High-Intensity Nylon Multifilament core, which contributes to its durability and overall performance.
Outer Material: The outer layer often features Special Braided High Polymer Nylon, which enhances durability and gives it a sharper feel.
Durability (relative to thin gauge): While thin strings generally have lower durability than thicker ones, Yonex has engineered the BG66 series to be resilient for its gauge. However, under intense play and higher tensions, it may wear out faster than more durable strings like the BG65
The Yonex BG66 badminton string series is renowned for its excellent combination of repulsion power and control, making it a popular choice for offensive and all-around players. It's often highlighted for its crisp hitting sound and responsive feel
