Hundred JP58 Magnite Badminton String

Hundred JP58 Magnite Badminton String

The Hundred JP58 Magnite is an ultra-thin 0.58mm badminton string built for players who chase pure repulsion power and a sharp hitting sound. Made in Japan and imported into India by Sunlight Sports, it sits at the thinner end of what most badminton stringers will install — putting it in direct competition with premium Japanese strings from other brands at a sharper price point.

One pack contains 10 metres (33 feet) of string, enough for a single racket. The construction pairs a super-strength nylon multifilament core with a highly resistant nylon monofilament outer layer, finished with a high-power complex elastic resin coating. That outer wrap is what lets a 0.58mm string survive on a strung racket — pure multifilament at this gauge tends to fray on the first hard hit.

What 0.58mm Actually Means for Your Game

Most badminton strings sit between 0.65mm and 0.70mm. Dropping to 0.58mm gives you two things: faster shuttle launch off the string bed (more snap on smashes and clears) and a noticeably sharper hitting sound. The trade-off is durability — a 0.58mm string will not last as long as a 0.68mm string at the same tension. Plan on shorter stringing intervals if you play five or more sessions a week.

Key Features

• Ultra-thin 0.58mm gauge — sits among the thinnest single-gauge badminton strings sold in India
• Made in Japan — manufactured by Hyaku Sports, not a domestic copy
• Multifilament + monofilament hybrid build — soft inner core for repulsion, tough outer layer for survival at this gauge
• 10/10 repulsion and hitting sound per the brand's own scale
• 9/10 shock absorption — easier on the elbow than typical thin power strings
• 10m single-racket pack — no leftover string

Who Should Use the JP58 Magnite

This is a string for intermediate and advanced players who already know what tension suits them and want maximum repulsion off the string bed. If you smash frequently, value sound feedback on contact, and don't mind restringing more often, the 0.58mm gauge will reward you.

If you're a beginner, play casually, or string at lower tensions (under 22 lbs), this isn't the right string for you — go thicker. A 0.68mm or 0.70mm string will give you a better feel at low tensions and last several times longer.

Stringing Notes

At 0.58mm, this string is sensitive to bad stringing. Use a stringer who's worked with thin Japanese strings before — ham-fisted clamping or sharp grommets will cut through the outer monofilament during installation. Stay within your racket's stated maximum tension, and aim for 24–26 lbs unless you have a specific reason to go higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gauge of the Hundred JP58 Magnite string?

The JP58 Magnite has a 0.58mm gauge, which puts it among the thinnest badminton strings available in the Indian market.

How long is one pack of Hundred JP58 Magnite?

One pack contains 10 metres (33 feet) of string — enough to string a single badminton racket.

Is the Hundred JP58 Magnite made in Japan?

Yes. The string is manufactured in Japan by Hyaku Sports Pvt. Ltd. and imported into India by Sunlight Sports Pvt. Ltd.

What tension should I string the JP58 Magnite at?

24 to 26 lbs is the recommended range for most players. Stringing above 26 lbs is possible if your racket allows it, but a 0.58mm string at high tension will break faster than a thicker string. Always stay within your racket's stated maximum.

Is the JP58 Magnite good for smashing?

Yes — this is one of its core strengths. Hundred rates the string at 10/10 for both repulsion power and hitting sound, which translates to faster shuttle speed and a sharp crack on contact.

How does the JP58 compare to the JP65 Magnite?

The JP58 is thinner (0.58mm vs 0.65mm). It gives more repulsion and a sharper sound but breaks faster. The JP65 lasts longer and is the better choice if you want power without restringing every few weeks.

Is JP58 Magnite suitable for beginners?

Not really. Beginners string at lower tensions where ultra-thin strings don't show their advantage, and they tend to mishit more often, which breaks thin strings quickly. A 0.68mm or 0.70mm uniform string is a better starting point.

How long will the JP58 Magnite last?

It depends on tension, playing frequency, and how clean your hits are. As a rough guide, regular players (3–4 sessions a week) at 24 lbs can expect 4–8 weeks before breakage or noticeable tension loss. Aggressive smashers at higher tensions will see less.
