TOKYO, Japan – Introducing a brand-new badminton string series, the EXBOLT. The first to the series is the EXBOLT 63, and is constructed from a proprietary new material called FORGED FIBER which is a first to combine durability, thin gauge and quick repulsion all into one.
While thinner strings tend to have higher repulsion, there has always been the issue of low durability. FORGED FIBER was developed to solve this very issue. Ordinary nylon had a limit to the strength of its fibers, which is why Yonex reconstructed the fibers on a molecular level to build stronger bonds for lasting durability. This FORGED FIBER gave Yonex more freedom to construct thinner strings without compromising durability.
The result is a combination of quick repulsion and durability, and even though the gauge is only 0.63mm, it is 24% more durable than conventional thin gauge products*1. The EXBOLT 63 provides exhilarating sounds of impact, and its quick repulsion will deliver your drives 7cm deeper*2, giving the opponent little to no time to counterattack or gain the upper hand in a match.
*1 Measured by a smash analysis machine
*2 Yonex research results: Shuttle is delivered to the same location 0.18 seconds faster than compared to previous products.
