Badminton string bst 500 white

The BST 500 White by Perfly offers an excellent blend of durability, comfort, and consistent shot response for intermediate badminton players. At a gauge of 0.70 mm, this string provides a slightly thicker profile that ensures more robust resistance to wear while maintaining great repulsion power. Constructed with a polymer multifilament core and topped by a nylon monofilament wear layer, it minimises fraying and increases lifespan during aggressive play. Users commonly report a softer hitting feel compared to Yonex BG65—making it gentler on the racket arm without sacrificing shot feedback. Its smooth white surface also masks signs of dirt or wear, making it visually clean and easy to inspect for performance issues over time.

Materials & Construction

• Gauge: 0.70 mm—offers greater resilience and longer lifespan against broken strokes

• Core: Polymer-based multifilament for elasticity, tension retention, and reduced shock

• Outer Layer: Nylon monofilament encasement for abrasion resistance and structural toughness
  This composition ensures the string strikes a balance between dynamic stiffness, repulsion power, and impact comfort.

Performance Overview

• Repulsion: Above average—suitable for smashes and fast clears

• Control & Touch: Balanced; softer hitting feel helps reduce racket-arm strain

• Durability: Strong—thick gauge and reinforced wear layer provide longer life even under frequent play

• Feedback: Pleasant acoustic sense at point of contact—less sharp than ultra-thin strings yet responsive

Length & Weight

• Length per Reel: Approx. 10 metres, sufficient for adult racket stringing in Malaysia

• Weight per Reel: Around 25 g net—light and easy to handle

Usage Instructions

1. Install using a professional stringing machine, gradually increasing tension—ideal tension recommended at 25–28 lbs (≈ 11.3–12.7 kg) for balanced performance.

2. Apply tension in uniform increments to avoid point overload or breakage.

3. Regularly inspect the stringbed for signs of wear such as notches or fuzz—replace at first detection to maintain consistent-tone returns.

4. Alternate between heavy smashes and finesse shots during play to evenly distribute wear across the stringbed.

5. After gameplay, gently wipe exterior frame and strings, avoid twisting the racket, and store in a dry cover at room temperature (~25 °C).

Precautions & Care Tips

• While robust, avoid tension exceeding 28 lbs, especially for extended play; overdrawing can still lead to snapping.

• Store strings away from direct sunlight or humid conditions, which may degrade the nylon layer or resin.

• Never wet or wash the string—moisture can weaken filament bonding and reduce overall longevity.

• Replace strings promptly once the sound dulls or repulsion reduces, to preserve performance and reduce risk of injury.

• The polyester weave is scratch-sensitive—store the racket carefully to prevent abrasion to the string surface.

Recommended For

• Intermediate players seeking a durable string with decent repulsion, comfort, and control

• Malaysian indoor club play (typical court conditions ~25–30 °C, moderate humidity)

• Ideal for frequent players, schools, coaching centres, or budget-conscious clubs needing long-lasting string options
