Yonex Exbolt 68 0.68mm Badminton is the latest addition to the Exbolt series. This is a forged fiber string which allows up to 24% more durability. The characteristics of Exbolt 68 are quick repulsion, control and durability.
Forged Fiber is a high intermolecular bonding force which increases strength by removing any impurities during manufacture and then stretches it many times over the original material.
For the new Exbolt 68 this Forged Fiber shape has been changed from a circular pattern to an oval shape. This process limits the deformation of the fiber on impact which increases the overall smash power. When a highly durable material is used, the thickness of the string is reduced which improves repulsion without compromising on durability.
Elasticity Outer has been added for increased shuttle hold and enhanced flexibility, by the application of Nanoalloy technology to the nylon.
Gauge: 0.68mm
Colour: White

Intermediate: 20 - 24lbs
Advanced: 24 - 27lbs

Please note:
Your racket might need existing worn / damaged / split grommets removing and replacing before we are able to restring the racket which might add to the cost of the restring prices shown above. We will replace these grommets unless the customer tells us to leave them in.
Please see "Grips & Grommets" page for cost information
*Remember! A miss hit (missing the sweetspot and hitting the shuttlecock around the edge of the frame) can cause an instant string snap. It is not advisable to choose a thinner gauge or a higher tension unless you are an advanced player able to persistently hit the sweet spot.
Free and friendly advice is in bountiful supply at Preston Racket Stringing, if you are unsure about string and tension, just ask us.
STRINGING WAIVER:
The manufacturer's maximum recommended tension refers to a new / fairly new racket frame. Chips can weaken the frame, as collisions with other rackets / shuttlecock against the frame etc. can cause micro fractures. The manufacturer's maximum recommendation lowers in this case, as the weakened frame can break whilst being restrung. Preston Racket Stringing will inform a customer before restringing if this is the case and discuss tension options.
