Yonex EXBOLT 65 - REEL

The Yonex Exbolt 65 Reel (BGXB65-2) is the bulk, high-volume presentation of one of the most popular performance strings in modern badminton.

While individual packs provide a single 10-meter cut, purchasing the 200-meter (656 feet) reel is the most cost-effective and highly practical choice for commercial stringers, club coaches, team players, and frequent string breakers. A single 200m reel comfortably yields 20 to 22 racket stringings, significantly slashing your maintenance costs over time.

The Exbolt 65 itself is celebrated as the absolute sweet spot of the Exbolt lineup, delivering a flawless harmony of lightning-fast repulsion speed, precise control, and high durability in an ultra-thin package.

Core Construction & Technology

The massive appeal of having an Exbolt 65 reel on standby comes down to Yonex’s advanced material engineering, which elevates thin-gauge performance to a commercial tier of reliability:

1. Forged Fiber Core Wrap: The core technological advancement of the Exbolt family. Yonex builds the outer braiding using high-molecular-weight polymers that feature exceptional heat and tensile resistance. This allows a slender 0.65mm string bed to resist cutting, notched fraying, and premature friction breaks.
2. Elasticity Outer Nano-Coating: Unlike standard strings that can feel slick or slippery, the Exbolt 65 is treated with a flexible nylon coating (utilizing NANOALLOY™ technology). This coating grabs the shuttlecock for a microsecond longer on contact, giving you elite tactical placement on net tumbles, slices, and hold-and-flick deceptions.
3. Optimized 0.65 mm Gauge: Provides minimal air resistance during rapid swings, giving players immense natural rebound power on midcourt drives and defensive reflex blocks.

Playing Characteristics

1. Lively, Fast Repulsion (10/10): The primary benefit of the 0.65mm gauge profile is instantaneous snapback. The shuttle springs off the string face with minimal dwell time, making it highly lethal for rapid flat drive exchanges, quick net-tap interceptions, and snappy wrist-flicks.
2. Predictable High Control (9/10): Thanks to the elasticity nano-coating, Exbolt 65 offers a more connected and stable feel at the net than traditional smooth-surface strings, allowing for highly precise touch shots and tight, tumbling hairpins.
3. Elite Longevity for a Thin Gauge (8/10): Because a bulk reel is often used for competitive club players pushing high tensions (26–30 lbs), the Forged Fiber construction is vital. It vastly outlasts classic performance strings like BG66 Ultimax under high stress, standing up much better to aggressive off-center frame hits.
4. Consistent Tension Retention: Bulk reels are excellent because they settle quickly on the stringing machine. The high intermolecular structural bond means your rackets maintain their sweet-spot crispness and reference tension over several consecutive training sessions.

Why Buy the Exbolt 65 Reel?

1. Massive Cost Savings: If you or your club members re-string rackets frequently, buying in bulk drops the price-per-racket drastically compared to individual packs.
2. Perfect for Hybrid Setups: Possessing an Exbolt 65 reel allows stringers to create high-performance custom hybrid configurations—such as running Exbolt 65 on the horizontal crosses for speed and a thicker string like Exbolt 68 on the high-impact vertical mains for extreme longevity.
3. Zero Waste Efficiency: Professional machine stringers can measure out the exact length needed for specific racket frame sizes, completely eliminating wasted string scraps.
