Ashaway ZyMax 66 Fire Power – powerful and durable 200 m reel
The Ashaway ZyMax 66 Fire Power is a performance badminton string for players who want to combine strong repulsion, direct feedback and dependable durability. Its 0.66 mm gauge provides more speed than traditional durability strings while offering greater resistance than many ultra-thin performance strings.
The Power version of the ZyMax 66 Fire has been specifically tuned for powerful shuttle acceleration. Its BETA Polymer ZyWeaVe™ core supports rapid energy transfer while maintaining excellent tension stability.
The 200-metre reel is particularly suitable for clubs, tournament players, frequent players and professional stringers. Depending on racket head size, stringing pattern and working method, one reel will generally provide approximately 20 complete badminton racket restringings.
Playing feel and characteristics
The ZyMax 66 Fire Power provides a medium-to-hard and highly responsive playing feel. The shuttle leaves the string bed quickly, supporting deep clears, fast drives and powerful smashes.
Compared with the standard ZyMax 66 Fire, this Power version places slightly greater emphasis on maximum acceleration and attacking strength. It remains controllable, however, and provides clear feedback on placement shots, drops and fast net exchanges.
The BETA Polymer construction is designed for high dynamic stiffness and minimal tension loss. This helps the string bed remain predictable for longer and retain its direct response.
At 0.66 mm, the string provides a useful balance between speed and resistance. It offers more security than very thin 0.62 to 0.64 mm strings but remains more sensitive to frequent off-centre contact than thicker 0.69 or 0.70 mm options.

Who should choose the Ashaway ZyMax 66 Fire Power?
The string is particularly suitable for advanced recreational players, club players and competitive players who prefer a fast and attack-oriented string bed. It works well for players who want to create pressure with deep clears, quick drives and powerful smashes.
Fast doubles players also benefit from its direct response and excellent repulsion. At the same time, the string retains sufficient control for varied placement and precise net play.
The 200-metre reel is especially economical for clubs, coaches, frequent players and stringing services. Anyone regularly stringing several rackets with a powerful and tension-stable string receives a strong balance of performance, durability and cost per restring.
Players with frequent off-centre contact or especially high string wear should consider a thicker option such as the ZyMax 69 Fire. Those looking for even greater refinement and speed may prefer a thinner ZyMax string.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Ashaway ZyMax 66 Fire Power to players and stringers looking for a powerful 0.66 mm string with excellent repulsion, outstanding tension stability and convincing durability. It is a strong all-round performance string with a clear emphasis on dynamic attacking play.
