Hundred JP70 Magnite Badminton String

Hundred JP70 Magnite Badminton String

The Hundred JP70 Magnite is a 0.70mm badminton string built around a single problem: how do you get the repulsion power of a thin string from a thick one? Hundred's answer is Kinetic Twisted Core technology — a twisted multifilament construction that snaps back faster on contact than standard 0.70mm strings, delivering a sharper response on smashes and clears without sacrificing the durability that makes a 0.70mm gauge worth choosing.

Made in Japan and finished with a special tension-retention coating, the JP70 Magnite is positioned for players who want power but are tired of restringing every few weeks because their thin strings keep breaking. One pack contains 10 metres (33 feet) of string, enough for a single racket.

Specifications

What Kinetic Twisted Core Actually Does

Standard 0.70mm strings feel solid but stiff — they don't return as much energy on contact as thinner strings do. That's why power players usually go for 0.65mm or thinner, accepting shorter string life as the trade-off.

Kinetic Twisted Core flips this by using a multifilament core where the inner fibres are twisted rather than laid straight. On impact, the twist allows the string to compress and rebound faster, giving back more energy to the shuttle. The end result: a string that lasts like a 0.70mm but plays closer to a 0.65mm in terms of repulsion. The trade-off versus thinner power strings is honest — you still don't get quite the same shuttle speed as a 0.58mm string, but you get most of it with twice the string life.

Key Features

• 0.70mm gauge with Kinetic Twisted Core — power normally associated with thinner strings, in a more durable build
• Sharp, responsive feel on contact with a crisp hitting sound
• Made in Japan — manufactured by Hyaku Sports, not a domestic copy
• Tension-retention coating — keeps the string bed tight for longer, fewer mid-week tension loss issues
• Abrasion-resistant outer surface — survives string-on-string wear better than uncoated strings
• 10m single-racket pack — no leftover string

Who Should Use the JP70 Magnite

This string makes the most sense if you fit one of these profiles:

• You play hard and break 0.65mm strings within 2–4 weeks but don't want to drop power
• You're a singles player who smashes regularly but plays five or more sessions a week
• You coach intermediate/advanced students and need a string that survives heavy use without being a "control" string
• You're upgrading from generic 0.70mm strings and want repulsion without changing gauge

If pure durability is your only concern and you don't care about power feedback, the JP70 Hunter is a better fit — it's also 0.70mm but tuned for control and tension hold rather than repulsion. If you want maximum smash speed and don't mind frequent restringing, the JP58 Magnite (0.58mm) or JP65 Magnite (0.65mm) will give you more snap.

Honest Note on Feel

Players coming from Yonex BG65 or similar long-time-favourite strings should know that the JP70 Magnite has a different feel — it's slightly firmer at impact, with a different sound profile. This isn't a flaw; it's a characteristic of the Kinetic Twisted Core construction. If you're attached to a specific feel from your current string, restring one racket with the JP70 Magnite first before committing your full kit.

Stringing Notes

The JP70 Magnite holds tension well across the recommended 22–28 lbs range. Most club players are best at 24–25 lbs; advanced players can push to 26–28 lbs. Stay within your racket's stated maximum tension. Any competent stringer can install this string — it's not as gauge-sensitive as 0.58mm or 0.61mm strings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gauge of the Hundred JP70 Magnite?

The JP70 Magnite has a 0.70mm gauge. It uses Kinetic Twisted Core technology to deliver repulsion typically associated with thinner strings.

What is Kinetic Twisted Core technology?

It's Hundred's name for a multifilament core construction where the inner fibres are twisted rather than laid straight. This allows the string to compress and rebound faster on shuttle impact, increasing repulsion power without reducing the string's thickness.

Is the JP70 Magnite made in Japan?

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

How is the JP70 Magnite different from the JP70 Hunter?

Both are 0.70mm strings made in Japan, but they're tuned for different players. The JP70 Magnite uses Kinetic Twisted Core for repulsion power and is built for attacking players. The JP70 Hunter is tuned for control and durability, with a 10/10 durability rating from the brand. Choose Magnite for power, Hunter for control.

How does the JP70 Magnite compare to the JP65 Magnite?

The JP65 is thinner (0.65mm) and gives slightly more repulsion, but breaks faster. The JP70 Magnite is thicker (0.70mm) and lasts longer thanks to its gauge, while still delivering most of the power thanks to Kinetic Twisted Core. Choose JP65 for maximum power, JP70 Magnite for power-with-durability.

What tension should I string the JP70 Magnite at?

22 to 28 lbs covers most players. Club and intermediate players are usually best at 24–25 lbs; advanced players can push up to 26–28 lbs. Stay within your racket's stated maximum tension.

Is the JP70 Magnite suitable for beginners?

It works, but beginners are often better served by simpler strings like the JP70 Hunter or a basic 0.70mm string. The Kinetic Twisted Core technology rewards players who can already generate decent racket head speed — for very early players, that extra repulsion is wasted.

How long does the JP70 Magnite last?

Performance varies with tension and play frequency. As a guide, regular players (3–4 sessions per week) at 24–26 lbs can typically expect 6–10 weeks of play before significant tension loss or breakage. That's noticeably longer than thinner power strings at the same playing intensity.

Does the JP70 Magnite come pre-strung on a racket?

No. This is a string set only. You will need to take it to a stringer along with your badminton racket. SportsUncle does not currently offer in-house stringing.
