Yonex Exbolt 68

Yonex Exbolt 68


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:  Black

Here is a suggestion for string tension for different levels of players:

  • Beginner : 17lbs-22lbs
  • Intermediate : 20lbs-26lbs
  • Advanced : 26lbs-28lbs
  • Professional/International : 26lbs – 30lbs+

FYI. The sweet-spot (performance with durability) seems to be 26.5 Lbs

A note of caution:


As you may have noticed, there are recommended string tension on most rackets. They usually have a few different ranges depending on the racket itself, 17-22, 22-30, etc... This recommendation is there to ensure that the racket does not break when stringing. People who choose to go over the limit may subject their racket to damage under the immense pressure from the high tension of the strings. Professional players often string way outside the frames recommendation at 30lbs+ . These players are sponsored and do not have to pay for their rackets if it breaks so unless you are sponsored, I would not recommend stringing outside the recommended tension and to do so at your own discretion. The recommended tension is also there for warranty purposes. Stringing outside the range will void the warranty but is possible. Generally, a frame can be 'pushed' a few Lbs over without a problem.
