The Yonex Exbolt 65 is a premium, thin-gauge badminton string engineered for explosive shuttle speed, precise control, and enhanced durability. Built with Yonex's proprietary Forged Fiber technology, it bridges the gap between thin high-repulsion strings and heavy-duty options by offering surprising longevity for a 0.65 mm gauge. The 200m reel in classic white is ideal for frequent players, club members, and stringers stringing approximately 20–22 racquets.
Performance Profile
- Repulsion Power (10/10): The ultra-thin 0.65 mm gauge produces immediate snapback and lightning-fast shuttle speed off the string bed with minimal effort.
- Control & Hold (9/10): The textured outer coating provides an instant "bite" on the shuttle, making drop shots, hairpins, and net spins sharp and predictable.
- Hitting Sound (9/10): Delivers a crisp, high-pitched metallic crack on full-power smashes and clears.
- Durability (8/10): Exceptionally durable for a thin string due to the heat-resistant Forged Fiber outer layer, outlasting standard 0.65 mm strings.
- Shock Absorption (8/10): Clean feel on contact with minimal harsh vibration transferred to the arm.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Attacking & Fast Drive Players: Ideal for doubles non-stop flat exchanges, counter-attacks, and players who rely on quick shuttle acceleration.
- Control & Precision Specialists: Players who rely heavily on net play, slicing, and tight shuttleplacement.
- Players Upgrading from Ultra-Thin Strings: Anyone who loves the snap of BG66 Ultimax or Exbolt 63 but wants better durability and tension maintenance.
- Stringers & Club Players: The 200m reel format significantly reduces per-racquet stringing costs.
