Yonex BG65 – durable 200 m reel for training, clubs and frequent players
The Yonex BG65 is a proven all-round badminton string for players and stringers who prioritise high durability, predictable string-bed performance and dependable playing characteristics. Its 0.70 mm gauge provides considerably greater resistance than thin performance strings.
The high-polymer nylon multifilament construction and specially braided outer layer improve abrasion resistance. This allows the string to withstand regular use and makes it particularly suitable for training, club play and players who break thinner strings too quickly.
The 200-metre reel is an economical solution for clubs, coaches, frequent players and professional stringing services. Depending on racket head size, stringing pattern and the amount of string used, it will generally provide approximately 20 to 22 complete badminton racket restringings.
Playing feel and characteristics
The BG65 provides a soft-to-medium and comfortably manageable playing response. The string bed feels stable and forgiving and is less sensitive to imperfect contact than a very thin performance string.
It offers dependable feedback on clears, drives, serves and controlled attacking strokes. Drops and net shots can also be placed with confidence, although the focus is more on consistency and comfort than maximum refinement.
The 0.70 mm gauge improves string life and makes the BG65 a strong option for frequent training, school sport and broad club use. It also suits players who want to minimise the need for regular restringing.
Compared with thin strings such as BG66 Ultimax or EXBOLT 63, the BG65 provides less immediate repulsion and a less crisp response. In return, it offers greater durability, more forgiveness and predictable 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 string bed. The string does not place excessive demands on technique and remains comfortable during longer training sessions.
The 200-metre reel is attractive to clubs and stringing services because it allows many rackets to be prepared reliably and economically. The various colour options also allow the string bed to be matched to different racket designs.
Players looking for maximum repulsion, particularly refined feedback or an especially crisp hitting sound should consider a thinner performance string. When durability, consistency and lower follow-up costs matter most, however, the BG65 is one of the most dependable options available.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Yonex BG65 to players and stringers looking for a highly durable 0.70 mm all-round string with a comfortable response and dependable control. The 200-metre reel is particularly suitable for clubs, frequent players and regular stringing requirements.
