Yonex BG 66 Ultimax

**Lemollin** · 08-27-2012, 12:19 AM

Firstly strung this Bg66UM @26lbs, good repulsion, nice feel, great hitting sound, everything shot
feel so good when freshly strung, but after 2weeks++ the string feel dead and dull, it had lost its repulsion, hitting sound is no longer that crisp, suffer lil bit from clearing and drops, the string has best performance when its fresh, however when it lose its tension then i got no choice and have to restring it, i just cut my current bg66UM after 3 weeks time, no point playing wif a dead fish string

Yep, 10 hours or less is pretty much the limit with Ultimax.

Sad but true. Great string for the first couple of sessions. After that....

Strung last week my MX80s with BG66UM at 28X30lbs. First day it was amazing and quite powerful but after a week it feels not as good as the first day. I will switch back to BG80. I think BG66UM holds tension not good.

Maybe u should try ap101N , its same feature as bg66UM but hold the tension longer

BG 66 Ultimax is the greatest string I ever had and the worst string in durability.

If BG66 UM is fresh it performs very well. After 3 weeks it feels dull and dead. I think Victor VS850 and Head Super Power 67 are the worst strings in terms of durablitity which I ever tried.

Yep.....ideal Tournament competion string. String your racquet compete and then cut it out...LOL

**davlee** · 09-13-2012, 10:30 AM

I think I will give up using this string... though it feels good initially, but after the tension drop, it is basically just not good anymore...

Agree with you.

It's not called 'Ultimax' for nothing!

Ultimate repulsion......Ultimate feel.....followed by Ultimate tension drop and Ultimate s#!tiness.

Still, the best string ever.

Haha... am thinking now to switch to BG80 or NG98

You might like the Nanogy 98 because it is similar to the BG66UM but there are a few differences...
For me I didn't like the BG80 I don't even know why

**davlee** · 09-14-2012, 12:32 PM

I have tried using BG80 once and not quite like the hard feeling too.. but ppl say it needs some time for the string to settle to feel good... so I might wanna give it another chance. As for NG98, never try before. Hope it retains it tension much better than BG66U

I can say it does but the power you LOVE from the BG66UM might not be there
