Yonex Exbolt 68 Badminton Reel , Black

The Yonex Exbolt 68 (Black) is a high-durability, quick-repulsion badminton string designed for competitive players who demand long-lasting performance, crisp shuttle snapback, and a sleek visual style. Constructed with proprietary Oval Forged Fiber in the outer weave, this 0.68 mm gauge string minimizes fiber deformation on impact, optimizing energy transfer for powerful smashes while providing superior abrasion resistance. The understated Black colorway delivers a stealthy, modern aesthetic that resists visible scuffing.

Performance Profile

1. Durability (10/10): Features dense, cross-woven Oval Forged Fibers that limit friction and notched wear, ensuring maximum lifespan under high stringing tensions.
2. Repulsion Power (9/10): The specialized Forged Fiber construction delivers rapid string bed snapback, allowing players to generate explosive drive speed and deep clears with ease.
3. Control & Hold (8/10): Enhanced with an Elasticity Outer Coating, the string increases shuttle retention at impact for pin-point accuracy on drop shots and net hairpins.
4. Hitting Sound (8/10): Generates a crisp, solid acoustic pop on full-power offensive strokes.
5. Shock Absorption (8/10): A highly responsive multifilament core dampens harsh frame feedback, protecting the wrist and arm during long, intense rallies.
