The Yonex Exbolt 65 (Black) is a high-performance 200m badminton string reel engineered for fast-paced, aggressive play. Built using Yonex's proprietary Forged Fiber construction, this 0.65 mm gauge string delivers rapid repulsion speed and control while maintaining strong durability for a thin string. The Black colorway gives racquets a sleek, stealthy look on the court and tends to show less surface scuffing over time compared to lighter colors.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): The thin 0.65 mm gauge produces quick snapback, giving clears, drives, and smashes effortless power and speed off the string bed.
- Control & Hold (9/10): Features an Elasticity Outer Coating that bites into the shuttle, giving players direct tactile feedback for tight net play, drops, and slices.
- Hitting Sound (9/10): Produces a crisp, high-pitched metallic pop on solid contact.
- Durability (8/10): Forged Fiber technology significantly increases heat and friction resistance, outlasting traditional 0.65 mm gauge strings.
