I have been using NBG95 at 23lbs and didn’t change it since February and I have pretty decent touch at the net and power in smashes and clears so the exbolt 68 will be a significant step up.
Since my preferred tension is 27 and above, i felt 63 was just too sharp when hitting hard, like the shuttle went too wild hahaha 65 has the best feeling for me, easily recommended for tension 27-28 68 is surprisingly similar to 65, only feels slightly stiffer, so i increase the tension 1-2 lbs I use 65 on my even balance racket for control play, and 68 on my head heavy racket for power play

well well well.... to each his own. but thats no surprise. i personally dislike the Arcsaber 11 pro. But that's one of the most popular racket in the circuit.
I recently changed my string from BG80 to Ex68. My preferred tension is 28x30. I just feel the soft touch and netting is better on Ex68. BG80 still produce better repulsion.
We can agree to disagree here. but i dont like the feeling that BG80 gives. Its too "stable" and i almost dont feel the excitement of hitting a shuttle. and because of that, i dont feel that it gives more repulsion than the 68.
Awesome! I just started to try the ex65 but also have my other racket on bg80. Would you say the ex68 is similar to bg80 being both is .68 string? I think I might just go ex68 as most durable and newest tech so might be better overall
honestly there isn't any string that's like the bg80(the wooden plank feel) Bg80 Power has a bit of the 80's feeling, but it's an entirely different string after a few games. The 68 feels a lot like a much stiffer Nanogy 95, stiff but has a really damp hitting feel. I recommend trying all three exbolt strings since people who like them usually instantly switch to the Exbolt string they like, but there are cases where people just hate all three EXB strings.
BG80 and ex68 feels very different. BG80 has a more "stable" feel and the vibration feels even shorter that the EX68. Both racket and string preferences are highly highly subjective. you got to try it for yourself! :)
If you like exbolt 63, you might like exbolt 68. Exbolt 65 is more for those who enjoy control strings but want more repulsion. ( if you come from standard aerobite but dont often do slices this string maybe better siuted to you( i know some players enjoy aerobite for what its nice feel more than because they do slices)) Exbolt 65 from my experience is a “make it or break it string” you either like it or hate it. Theres no in between. I havent tried exbolt 68 because personally i love thin strings more than thicker.
There is no right or wrong answers with tension - there are equal pros and cons for going higher or lower. The most important thing is to choose a tension that best fits your playstyle. Going higher will demand a lot more from you - which sometimes can be a bad thing (Snaps easily. I also strained my shoulder once when I played with a high tension racket). So it really depends, but go with your gut feel!

I tried ex65 and ex63. So far ex63 is sharper and more repulsive than ex65. But the shuttlecock is wilder too. Ex65 is more controlled. It fly where i wanted it to. Maybe i will try ex68 next time my strings about to break
In our opinion - the Exbolt 68 had the most "bite". It has the coarsest string, and so will hold onto the shuttle longer than thinner/smoother strings. Naturally, the Exbolt 63 is the thinnest and also the smoothest string, so it rates lower for control. Aerobite boost is a mix of control and durability because of its unique mix of a thin/smooth string Aerosonic String, paired with a thicker/coarser high-intensity nylon multifilament core with a Vectran super fiber and a polyurethane coated string. We're not fans of the aerobite boost because the thinner Aerobite cross strings will most definitely snap quicker than the main strings, PLUS the thinner string will constantly be cutting the main strings, resulting in an easy snap.
@ thanks for the reply…i am an intermediate recreational player…i think i will go with the Exbolt 68, hoping to get a good balance of power and control
Which one would be better considering both repulsion AND durability? Between the Aerobite and 65? Because I'm currently used to the NBG99 but looking to change because that's not available anymore. Please help.
comparing the exbolt strings, i think 68 has the best balance. between aerobite and 65, aerobite for repulsion and 65 for durability. because im a coach, i would favour durability.
i dont like 65. its neither here nor there. in the exbolt series. i think the 68 is better than the 65. between the 2 you mentioned, go for 66ulti for repulsion. but 65 has better durability.
The term suitable might be subjective and difficult to define. The string can definitely withstand the high tension. However, at higher tension, it will be more prone to snapping.
tbh i agree with u...ex68 imo is a more all rounder string compared to ex65...since i came from aerobite & BG80 i like the bite & feel ex68 give...personally i dont like ex63 (although it felt nice but it is quite hard to play with when the shuttle hit off the sweetspot) & ex65 (i dont like the feeling it gave when controlling the shuttle)
It's always better to use the recommended strings by yonex for concerned racket ,for nanoflare 800 pro & nanoflare 700 pro yonex recommends Exbolt 65 for hard hitters, which I am using gives amazing output
there a sommmmmme truth in this. I believe Yonex has an ideal on the type of player that will use the racket. Likewise, they will recommend a relevant string for the type of player that will likely use that model of racket. But there is no magic in "matching" the racket to the strings. ultimately, the user decides what's best for them.
these are quite different strings. I prefer the exbolt 68. but i acknowledge that it is completely biased, as with an honest opinion. I much prefer the feeling of the exbolt rather than BG80
Maxbolt strings compere to the yonex strings please Particularly the Yonex bg65-ti vs exbolt 68 Please please please I'll subscribe your channel and waiting for your next upcoming video on my topic
I have used both of these strings. According to my personal experience, 65TI strings (27-28 4 knots) are durable and only for those who already have a big power. Exb68 string (27-28 4 knots) has better repulsion and sound, but less durability (less than 10 games)☹
Alright, i'll trry to do a video on strings. but there are just soooooo many things to review. however, i can say that the 65TI and the 68 are very different strings. the 65TI is way more durable. but the 68 offers more repulsion. in terms of the feeling, the 68 is also more "reactive" and "exciting".

A good rule of thumb:

Advanced/Athletes: 28 and above

What racquet did you use to test the strings?
Nanoflare Nextage! A realllly decent racket at that price point!
