Yonex Badminton String(11)

Yonex Badminton Strings India — The Complete Guide

Yonex badminton strings are the most used in the world — and the most searched in India. The Yonex BG66 Ultimax is the highest of any individual string product on the site. Indian badminton players have clear preferences, formed through years of playing, watching the BWF circuit, and asking the questions that bring them to pages like this one: BG66 or BG80? BG65 Ti for durability? Aerosonic for the sound?

This guide covers every Yonex string stocked at GOS — not with marketing language, but with the information you need to choose correctly for your game, your level, and India’s playing conditions.

Yonex Badminton String Comparison — The Full Range

Each String — In Detail

Yonex BG66 Ultimax — The Indian Club Standard

The Yonex BG66 Ultimax is the default advanced club string in India. At 0.65mm, it is thin enough to provide exceptional repulsion and dwell time on every shot, yet durable enough for regular club use. Used by Taufik Hidayat (Olympic and World Champion) throughout his career. The crisp, responsive feel at contact is what separates the BG66 from thicker strings — you feel exactly what the shuttle is doing, and the response is immediate. For intermediate to advanced Indian players who want the closest experience to professional-level badminton, this is the string.

Gauge: 0.65mm | Recommended tension: 24–28 lbs | Level: Intermediate–Professional

Yonex BG80 Power — The Smash Specialist

The Yonex BG80 Power is for players who hit hard and want a string that hits back harder. High-modulus Vectran fibre construction delivers outstanding repulsion and explosive power on every contact — particularly suited to singles players who dominate from the rear court with heavy smashes and fast drives. The BG80 is slightly thicker than the BG66 (0.68mm vs 0.65mm), which gives it better tension retention and durability under aggressive high-tension play.

Gauge: 0.68mm | Recommended tension: 26–30 lbs | Level: Advanced
Construction: High-modulus Vectran fibre

Yonex BG65 Titanium — The Durable All-Rounder

The Yonex BG65 Titanium is the durability-focused upgrade from the standard BG65 — titanium-infused construction that lasts significantly longer while delivering a crisper, more responsive feel than the untreated BG65. For intermediate players who want better repulsion than the BG65 offers, without the more demanding characteristics of the BG66 or BG80.

• Yonex BG65 Titanium Badminton String

Gauge: 0.70mm | Recommended tension: 22–26 lbs | Level: Beginner–Intermediate
Construction: Titanium multifilament | Best for: Beginners, high-tension string breakers

Yonex BG65 — The Classic

The Yonex BG65 is a timeless all-round string — durable, consistent across different playing styles, and the right first string for new Indian badminton players. At 0.70mm it is the thickest in the range, providing good durability and holding tension reliably over multiple sessions. Not the most exciting string in terms of repulsion, but it works — and keeps working — without demanding constant restringing.

• Yonex BG65 Badminton String

Gauge: 0.70mm | Recommended tension: 20–24 lbs | Level: Beginner–Intermediate
Best for: New players, players who restring infrequently, training environments

Yonex Aerosonic — The Speed Specialist

The Yonex Aerosonic at 0.61mm is Yonex’s thinnest string — and for players who know what they want from a string, it delivers something no other Yonex string replicates. The Compact Fitted construction densely packs resin between core and outer threads, producing a high-pitched, resonant sound on contact and an extraordinarily fast response at impact. Doubles players who live for fast exchanges at the net and rear-court attackers who want instant repulsion on punch volleys will find the Aerosonic addictive. Durability is the trade-off — advanced players who restring regularly will find this an excellent rotation string.

• Yonex Aerosonic Badminton String

Gauge: 0.61mm (thinnest Yonex string) | Recommended tension: 24–28 lbs | Level: Advanced
Construction: Compact Fitted | Best for: Doubles speed specialists, fast-rally players

Choosing Your Yonex String — Quick Decision Guide

Yonex String Tension for Indian Conditions

• General range: 22–28 lbs covers most Indian club players
• Beginners: 20–24 lbs — looser string bed provides more power assist from the string, easier on the arm
• Intermediate: 24–26 lbs — balanced control and power
• Advanced/tournament: 26–30 lbs — tighter bed for more control and precision
• Indian summer adjustment: String 1–2 lbs lower than your normal tension in peak summer (March–June). High ambient temperature causes string tension to increase slightly after stringing. A racket strung at 26 lbs in 38°C heat may feel like 28 lbs on court
• Restringing frequency: Restring as many times per year as you play per week. Twice per week = minimum twice per year. The thinner the string (Aerosonic, BG66), the more frequently it needs replacing
