Yonex BG6 Badminton String - 0.66mm

Not every player needs the most expensive string on the market. Most players need one that performs consistently, lasts well and sounds right on contact. The Yonex BG 6 delivers all three.

The construction is built around a thin, highly intensive nylon multifilament core wrapped with special braided nylon fibres and finished with Yonex's original durable coating. That layered build is what gives the BG 6 its character: the multifilament core provides a soft, responsive feel and good shock absorption at impact, while the braided outer layer adds the surface strength needed to hold tension under regular play without wearing down quickly. The coating extends string life further, resisting abrasion and maintaining the string bed's performance across more sessions before restringing is needed.

The result on court is a sharp, strong feeling on every shot. The 0.66mm gauge sits in a practical middle ground — thin enough to produce genuine repulsion power and a clear metallic hitting sound that players recognise immediately as quality contact, but thick enough to offer the durability that thinner performance strings sacrifice. Players stepping down from the BG 66 or up from a basic factory string will both feel the difference.

At 10 metres / 33 feet, each pack is the correct length to restring one racquet fully. The BG 6 is suitable for all levels of player — beginners looking to improve on factory strings, intermediate club players who restring regularly, and recreational players who want genuine Yonex quality without the price tag of a premium performance string.

A dependable, honest string from one of the most trusted names in badminton.

FAQ

How long is each pack of BG 6 string?

Each pack contains 10 metres / 33 feet, which is the standard length required to fully restring one badminton racquet.

What tension should I string the BG 6 at?

For most players, 20 to 24 lbs is a practical starting range. Lower tension (18 to 21 lbs) produces more power and is more forgiving for beginners; higher tension (22 to 25 lbs) provides more control for players who generate their own power. Always check your racquet's recommended maximum tension before stringing.

How does the BG 6 compare to the BG 65?

Both are 0.66mm strings in Yonex's accessible range. The BG 65 uses a specially braided fibre construction that is particularly optimised for string abrasion durability and is one of the most widely used strings globally. The BG 6 shares a similar gauge and multifilament construction with a focus on repulsion and a metallic hitting sound, making it a solid alternative at a comparable price point. Players who prioritise durability often favour BG 65; those who want a sharper, crisper feel on impact often prefer BG 6.

How does the BG 6 compare to the BG 66?

The BG 66 is a performance-level string at 0.66mm with a high-polymer nylon construction engineered for maximum repulsion and a clear, crisp sound — it is used by advanced and competitive players. The BG 6 uses a similar gauge but a more accessible multifilament construction, making it a budget-friendly alternative that still delivers good repulsion and sound without the premium price of the BG 66 series.

What colours is the BG 6 available in?

The BG 6 is available in assorted colours including white, purple and bright pink. Confirm which specific colours are in stock with your supplier, as colour availability varies by market and batch.

How often should I restring with BG 6?

For players training two to three times a week, restringing every two to three months is a reasonable starting guide. Players who train more frequently or hit harder may need to restring more often. A good rule of thumb: restring as many times per year as you play per week.

Is the BG 6 suitable for beginners?

Yes. The BG 6 is one of Yonex's most beginner-friendly strings. It is durable, forgiving and delivers genuine repulsion without requiring advanced technique to feel the benefit. It is a significant step up from the low-quality factory strings typically pre-installed on entry-level racquets.
