      Kerorin （Experience：6-10 years） If you want a thinner gauge with quick release, this is it!

      Recommended for anyone looking for a string around 0.65mm with a light, springy feel. Strung at the same tension, BG66 FORCE feels like it holds the shuttle more, and NANOGY 98 seems to give a harder feel.
      As is common with thin gauges, it's tough on the wallet for high-tension players and hard hitters. In winter they snap left and right. I don't think this is a string for powerful players who can carry the shuttle deep with their own strength. Recommended for beginner-to-intermediate male control players and women in general.

      9th Grade Boy, Started in Middle School （Experience：2-3 years） For beginners to intermediates, easy repulsion

      Suited to stringing in seasons when strings don't break easily. I strung it at 25 lbs on an astrox100zz (3U) in October, and it broke in less than a week. Apart from durability, it's the best string. For those with 3 to 4 years of badminton experience, I recommend BG80PW, BGAB, or BGXB65!

    • Ast

      Ast （Experience：2-3 years） About BG66 ULTIMAX

      BG66 ULTIMAX has a great sound that cuts sharply with a crisp "spang," excels at repulsion, flies farther than BG65 TITANIUM, and personally I find it easy to control
      Even compared with AEROBITE, the feel is hard and shock absorption is inferior. But in return, smashes and clears fly without losing speed
      As "repulsion" is written on the package, I think durability is a bit weak. Personally, it's the best YONEX string, usable by both weaker and powerful players

      TOMO （Experience：6-10 years）

      Sharp feel, doesn't repulse too much or hold too much, just right. You could call it an all-round string that everyone likes. If you're a beginner and don't know what to choose, I recommend just stringing BG66 ULTIMAX.

      Johnny （Experience：2-3 years） Best buy

      I buy it in 200m reels.

      I love its hard, metallic repulsion. When EXBOLT 63 came out, I thought "Here's the upgrade!" and tried stringing it, but because it has more hold, the release isn't as quick, and I didn't like it, so I went straight back to ULTIMAX.

      I don't think there's a better string than this.

    • Hi

      Tony （Experience：6-10 years） Just string this and you can't go wrong

      A balanced string that can do anything.
      It handles everything without a hitch, and there's no shop that doesn't carry it.
      It comes in lots of colors, so if you're looking for an easy-to-use string, just try this one and you can't go wrong.

      YONEX really outdid themselves making a string this good.
      Whenever I buy a new racket, I usually string this first to compare and get a feel for what kind of racket it is.
      Among the fiercely competitive 0.65 gauges, it's a head above the rest

      Kanabun （Experience：11-20 years） Nothing to complain about except durability

      At a thin 0.65mm, durability is an unavoidable weak point, but everything else, like repulsion, control, and feel, is very well done. Compared to NANOGY 98, this one feels just a tiny bit softer and is less durable. Compared to BG66 FORCE, it comes down to whether you want that pocketing feel.
