Yonex(16)
Skyarc
0.68 mmA 0.69mm thick gauge string that introduced a completely unique material formulation called Hi-Sling Fiber. The Badmintoncn community defines Skyarc as an entirely soft-feeling, ultra-dampened option. Its primary goal is to maximize shock absorption and dramatically extend the dwell time (the length of time the shuttle rests on the stringbed) to give casual or physically fatigued players easy, comfortable access to deep backcourt clears.
Nanogy 99
0.69 mmA 0.69mm thick gauge string that spearheaded Yonex's specialized green-labeled "Control" line. The community views the NBG99 as an anti-thesis to its sibling, the slippery NBG95; instead of frictionless bouncing, NBG99 emphasizes absolute shuttle friction, maximizing the user's ability to execute cut shots, tight spinning net hairpins, and highly precise placement.
BG65 Titanium
0.7 mmA 0.70mm thick gauge string built on the core of standard BG65, upgraded with hydro-titanium coating. The community defines it as a highly polarized, hard-feeling offensive string: at low tensions, it can feel dull and sluggish, but once it is cranked up to high tensions (26–28+ lbs), it transforms into an incredibly solid, hard-hitting weapon with deafening acoustics and tremendous power.
BG66 Force
0.65 mmA premium 0.65mm ultra-fine gauge string that sets itself apart from standard speed options through its unique construction. While most 0.65mm strings (like BG66 Ultimax) lean heavily toward crisp, instantaneous rebound, the BG66 Force utilizes a unique high-polymer nylon core with a shock-absorbing, slightly stickier special nylon coating. The Badmintoncn community defines it as a medium-feeling, power-oriented thin string. It manages to combine the ultra-fast swing speed of a 0.65mm gauge with a deep, crushing plunge on rear-court smashes.
Nanogy 95
0.69 mmA premium 0.69mm thick gauge string that fuses a high-intensity nylon multifilament core with an outer layer woven with specialized CS Carbon Nanotubes. The Badmintoncn community views NBG95 as Yonex's masterclass solution to a classic badminton dilemma: how to create a highly durable string that still delivers the crisp, active repulsion usually reserved for thin performance lines. It plays comfortably as a versatile, medium-feeling stringbed that handles everyday competitive club use beautifully.
Nanogy 98
0.66 mmA premium 0.66mm ultra-fine gauge string that blends a high-intensity nylon multifilament core with an outer wrap coated in specialized Compound Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotubes. The Badmintoncn community defines NBG98 as a true medium-feeling, high-repulsion specialized string. Its main design objective is to deliver effortless, explosive bouncing speed and unmatched arm comfort, effectively giving passive defensive players and casual club players an internal spring to clear baseline-to-baseline with minimal physical effort.
Aerosonic
0.61 mmAn ultra-thin 0.61mm gauge string, officially holding the title of the thinnest string in Yonex history. It is constructed from a high-intensity nylon core surrounded by high-polymer nylon filament braiding. The community defines the Aerosonic as an absolute performance-first "glass cannon." It delivers unmatched, explosive repulsion and a piercing acoustic signature that cuts through the court like nothing else.
BG80 Power
0.68 mmA premium 0.68mm gauge string that features a high-modulus Vectran fiber wrap combined with a high-intensity nylon multifilament core. The Badmintoncn community defines BG80P as a hard-feeling, purely offensive weapon. While its sibling—the legendary classic BG80—is known for its stiff, instantaneous, and bone-dry crisp snapback, the BG80 Power adds a slightly thicker, stickier coating. This design creates a unique combination: it maintains a rigid stringbed but adds a deep, bursting "holding feel" on impact, transferring maximum crushing weight into heavy backcourt smashes.
BG66 Ultimax
0.65 mmA high-performance 0.65mm ultra-fine gauge string featuring a high-intensity nylon multifilament core tightly bound by a special braided high-polymer nylon outer wrap. On Badmintoncn, the community reviews 66UM as a purely performance-driven, medium-feeling masterpiece. It is notoriously loved for delivering near-perfect, explosive repulsion and a thunderous hitting sound, balanced against a notoriously fragile structural lifespan. It is famously chosen as the elite baseline weapon for legendary world-class professionals like Kento Momota, Lin Dan, and Lee Chong Wei.
BG80
0.68 mmA high-end 0.68mm gauge string featuring a high-intensity nylon multifilament core wrapped with high-modulus Vectran—an ultra-stiff, high-tensile material. The Badmintoncn community defines BG80 as the quintessential hard-feeling, raw-power string. It is notorious for its highly textured, rough outer skin and its bone-dry, rigid structural layout. It is the premier choice worldwide for advanced attacking players who want immediate, explosive force transmission with zero energy delay.
Aerobite
0.67 / 0.61 mmA specialized hybrid string combination using two entirely different gauges and coatings for the mains (vertical strings) and crosses (horizontal strings). By combining a rough, high-friction vertical bed with a slippery, lightning-fast horizontal bed, it aims to deliver the ultimate blend of aggressive spin defense, tight hairpins, and sharp smash speed
BG65
0.7 mmA thick 0.70mm gauge multifilament string constructed from high-intensity nylon cores wrapped in tightly braided fibers. The Badmintoncn community defines BG65 as the absolute king of economic durability and structural forgiveness. It is a highly polarized string depending on the tension: at low pounds, it is a comfortable, pillowy, and lacking feedback. When handled by advanced stringers at ultra-high tensions (28+ lbs), it transforms into a highly stable, solid, and incredibly reliable weapon used by recreational players and touring world champions alike.
Exbolt 68
0.68 mmUnlike the EB63 and EB65 siblings, which focused heavily on lightning-fast speed, the EB68 is firmly placed in Yonex's durability category. It wraps high-intensity nylon filaments with an innovative Oval Forged Fiber shield and an "Elasticity Outer" coating. The Badmintoncn community defines it as a robust, medium-to-stiff attacking string that provides massive, gathered power on smashes and highly stable control, completely shaking up the traditional idea that "durable strings feel like numb blocks of wood."
Exbolt 65
0.65 mmFollowing the massive success of the ultra-thin EB63, Yonex thickened the core slightly to 0.65mm to address the demands of players who wanted the line's famous rapid-fire snapback, but with noticeably increased smash weight and improved shuttle-holding control. The Badmintoncn community defines the EB65 as an elite, balanced, and durable modern speed string that handles heavy backcourt smashing significantly better than its thinner siblings.
Aerobite Boost
0.72 / 0.61 mmA hybrid string combo uniquely designed with completely different characteristics for its vertical and horizontal lines. The consensus defines AB-Boost as a specialized weapon that provides a distinctly rigid, direct hitting feel. It is built to maximize heavy, downward smashing and aggressive net spinning, famously favored by elite professional players like Olympic Champion Viktor Axelsen.
Exbolt 63
0.63 mmCommonly views as a premium weapon designed specifically for high-frequency, fast-paced modern doubles play. It prioritizes instantaneous shuttle rebound and a crisp, sharp hitting sensation without the brittle "glass-cannon" fragility historically associated with 0.63mm strings.
