Yonex BG66 Ultimax FAQ's
What is Yonex BG66 Ultimax made of?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax is made from a high-intensity nylon multifilament core, covered with a special coating to enhance durability and feel. Its ultra-thin gauge of 0.65 mm offers incredible repulsion power, making it a favourite for players looking for an explosive response on each shot.
What type of player is Yonex BG66 Ultimax best suited for?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax is ideal for advanced players who value high repulsion, control, and a responsive feel. It is particularly well-suited to attacking players who favour powerful smashes and fast-paced gameplay. However, due to its thinner gauge, it may not be as durable for players prone to breaking strings frequently.
What are the main benefits of Yonex BG66 Ultimax?
The main benefits of Yonex BG66 Ultimax are its high repulsion power, crisp feel, and excellent control. The thin 0.65 mm gauge allows for explosive shots, while the soft feeling provides great touch, making it ideal for both powerful smashes and delicate net play.
Is Yonex BG66 Ultimax a durable string?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax is less durable compared to thicker strings due to its 0.65 mm gauge. While it offers outstanding performance, players who hit hard or tend to break strings often might find they need to restring more frequently. It’s best for those who prioritise playability and feel over long-lasting durability.
How does Yonex BG66 Ultimax affect shot power?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax is designed to provide exceptional repulsion power, which means it delivers explosive shot-making capabilities. Its ultra-thin gauge allows players to generate more power with less effort, making it ideal for aggressive, attacking players looking for extra punch in their smashes.
Is BG66 Ultimax suitable for players with arm or wrist issues?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax has a softer feel, which can help absorb shock and reduce strain on the arm and wrist. However, because of its thin gauge, it can still be somewhat unforgiving for players with ongoing arm or wrist issues, particularly if they hit very hard. A thicker, more flexible string might be better for players with significant arm concerns.
What is the recommended tension for Yonex BG66 Ultimax?
Yonex recommends stringing BG66 Ultimax between 19-24 lbs for players seeking a balance of power and control. Advanced players might choose higher tensions, up to 26-28 lbs, to maximise control. It’s important to adjust tension according to your playing style and desired feel—lower tensions for more power and higher tensions for better control.
Does Yonex BG66 Ultimax provide good control?
Yes, Yonex BG66 Ultimax provides excellent control, particularly at higher tensions. The thin gauge allows for better feel and precision, which helps players execute delicate shots, net play, and placement. It strikes a balance between power and control, making it versatile for both attacking and defensive play.
How does BG66 Ultimax compare to BG80?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax has a thinner gauge (0.65 mm) compared to BG80 (0.68 mm), which makes BG66 Ultimax slightly less durable but offers greater repulsion power and a more responsive feel. BG80, with its Vectran reinforcement, feels firmer and is more durable, making it better suited for players who prefer a slightly stiffer string with more control.
Can Yonex BG66 Ultimax be used for doubles or singles play?
Yonex BG66 Ultimax can be used effectively for both singles and doubles play. Its high repulsion power and crisp feel make it ideal for the fast-paced, attacking nature of doubles, while its precision and control also work well for singles players focusing on placement and varied shot-making.
