Yonex BG65 Amber – economical 500 m reel for clubs and stringers
The Yonex BG65 is one of the most established all-round badminton strings. In the 500-metre format, it is particularly suitable for clubs, coaches, frequent players and professional stringing services. Its 0.70 mm gauge focuses on high durability, abrasion resistance and predictable control.
The high-polymer nylon multifilament core is combined with a specially braided outer structure. This allows the string to withstand regular use and makes it suitable for rackets used frequently in training, club environments and commercial stringing services.
The large 500-metre reel significantly reduces the material cost per restring. Depending on racket head size, stringing pattern, knotting method and the amount of string used, it will generally provide approximately 50 to 55 complete badminton racket restringings.
Playing feel and characteristics
The BG65 provides a soft-to-medium and comfortably predictable response. The string bed feels stable and offers more forgiveness than very thin performance strings.
It delivers dependable feedback on clears, drives, serves and controlled attacking shots. Drops and net strokes can also be placed reliably, although consistency and comfort take priority over maximum refinement or an especially crisp hitting sound.
The 0.70 mm gauge improves resistance to abrasion and repeated use. This makes the BG65 particularly suitable for players who break thinner strings too quickly, as well as school sport, hire rackets and general club use.
Compared with thinner strings such as BG66 Ultimax or EXBOLT 63, the BG65 offers less immediate repulsion. In return, it provides greater string life, more forgiveness and consistent long-term performance.

Important: The maximum permitted stringing tension of the badminton racket must always be observed. Damaged or sharp-edged grommets should be replaced before restringing because they can cause premature failure even with a highly durable string.
Who should choose the Yonex BG65?
The BG65 is suitable for beginners, recreational players, club players and frequent players looking for a durable and straightforward setup. It is particularly useful for regular training, school sport, club use and players with higher string wear.
Players with slow to medium swing speeds also benefit from its comfortable and manageable response. The string does not place excessive demands on technique and remains comfortable during longer training sessions.
The 500-metre reel is particularly attractive to clubs and stringing services that regularly prepare many rackets with a consistent and dependable standard string. The large reel size reduces the material cost of each restring.
Players looking for maximum repulsion, particularly refined feedback or a very crisp hitting sound should choose a thinner performance string. When durability, consistency and economy matter most, the BG65 is one of the most dependable options available.
