The Yonex Exbolt 63 Reel (BGXB63-2) is the bulk, high-volume format of Yonex's flagship ultra-thin speed string.
While individual packs provide a single 10-meter cut, the 200-meter (656 feet) reel is the ultimate economical solution for high-volume tournament stringers, competitive badminton clubs, coaches, and players who snap strings frequently. A single 200m reel provides enough material to string roughly 20 to 22 rackets, drastically lowering the maintenance cost per racket.
The Exbolt 63 itself is famous for pushing the boundaries of material physics—offering a microscopic 0.63 mm gauge that yields blazing, instantaneous repulsion while retaining an incredibly impressive lifespan for an ultra-thin filament.
Core Construction & Technology
stocking an Exbolt 63 reel gives stringers access to premium high-speed performance backed by commercial-grade durability features:
- Forged Fiber Shell: This is the core patent that makes the entire Exbolt series viable in bulk form. Yonex wraps the high-intensity core with high-molecular-weight polymers that have exceptional heat resistance and tensile strength. This prevents the ultra-thin 0.63mm diameter from tearing or shearing easily when pulled tightly on a stringing machine or during heavy sliced shots.
- Aerodynamic 0.63 mm Thickness: One of the thinnest, cleanest-cutting performance profiles in the sport. It minimizes air resistance during massive defensive swings and produces an ultra-quick elastic rebound.
- High-Intensity Nylon Multifilament Core: Densely woven internal core fibers that handle high tournament tensions well while ensuring smooth energy feedback.
Playing Characteristics
- Blazing Repulsion Speed (10/10): The definitive feature of this string. Because the shuttle spends minimal time sitting on the 0.63mm string face, it rebounds instantly. This makes it a devastating tool for midcourt drive exchanges, defensive counter-parries, and quick net interceptions where a split-second difference wins the point.
- Piercing Acoustic Sound (10/10): Rackets pulled from an Exbolt 63 reel produce a stunningly high-pitched, metallic "ping" on center sweet-spot hits. It is incredibly loud and satisfying on the court.
- Remarkable Longevity For Its Gauge (7.5/10): While it will not outlast thicker utility workhorses like BG65 or Exbolt 68, the Forged Fiber ensures it drastically outlives older ultra-thin strings like Yonex Aerosonic (0.61mm) or standard BG66 Ultimax (0.65mm). It handles high competitive tensions (24–28 lbs) surprisingly well.
- Immediate Defensive Rebound: When absorbing an opponent's heaviest smash, you don't need a winding forearm stroke to clear it deep. The natural trampoline response of the string bed easily bounces the shuttle back to the baseline with simple wrist flexion.
Why Buy the Exbolt 63 Reel?
- Significant Volume Savings: For regular competitors or club stringers, a bulk reel drops the price-per-racket significantly compared to buying individual 10m packs.
- The Ultimate Cross-String for Hybrids: Having an Exbolt 63 reel on hand is incredibly popular for creating custom hybrid combinations. Many advanced stringers run a thick, heavy-duty string (like Exbolt 68 or BG65) on the vertical mains for durability, and pull Exbolt 63 on the horizontal crosses to inject lightning-fast speed and a piercing acoustic sound into the racket bed.
- Zero Waste Machine Efficiency: Professional stringers can pull the precise length required for compact or oversized frame patterns without creating wasteful leftover scraps.
