Yonex Exbolt 68 vs Exbolt 65 vs Exbolt 63: Is Exbolt 68 the BEST Durable Badminton String?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- I review the Yonex Exbolt 68 badminton string and compare it against the Exbolt 65 and Exbolt 63 badminton string. The Exbolt 68 string is a durable badminton string that is developed to provide more power and control.
The Exbolt series of badminton string is also designed to provide good control that compete well with traditional control strings such as the Yonex BG80 and Yonex Aerobite.

The only comparison we need: BG80.
Yesssss
Factsssss
Video is out 👌
@@CKYew indeed....and it answers the question 🙂
@@CKYewhi what is your tension are you using to new 88dpro? 27x28 exbolt68?
could you do a comparison from the exbolt 68 to the BG80? Since the BG80 is such a commonly used string by professionals but the exbolt 68 is the same thickness but with much better stats, I'm curious if you'd feel a lot or some will swap onto this
How would you compare the exbolt68 to the aerobite? You mention that the feel are quite similar, how about the control and repulsion?
this is what i want to know too
i'm curious to use exbolt68 with arc11pro
I can’t wait to get hands on this so I can review it for myself too! You got me so excited
after I saw this video I immediately go to rally sports website to check if they have exbolt68 but unfortunately only 63 and 65
New equipment releases should always get us excited 👌😂
I really wish Yonex adds more colours for the Exbolt lineup.
Yes
I guess Yonex heard their consumer!
👌😂
I'm currently using the Exbolt 65 and it breaks a lot When i mishits. I can't wait till the Exbolt 68 to sell at my local badminton store :)
what tension you using?
Thanks for the review! Slightly unrelated but your badminton is getting a lot better bro keep it up!!
Haha I appreciate that 😂👌
@@CKYew can i use two string cominedly in a single racket?for example aerobite with exbolt series or nanogy with exbolt?
@@hasiburrahamanantu7723 badminton is an art, there is no right or wrong. Go for it!
Excited for this. On my wishlist already! 🔥
Odd, your video shows that it's 0.65mm gauge, however, the Yonex site shows 0.68mm gauge? Would this be a good replacement for the BG80 and does it have the same kind of hard feeling rating that BG80 has? Previously, the Exbolt 63 and 65 had a Medium Feeling rating, so would the Exbolt 68 have the same medium feeling or a hard feeling rating?
BG80's core is said to have a High Polymer Nylon Multifilament with Vectran™, while Exbolt 68's core is listed to only have the High Polymer Nylon Multifilament. Is this a big factor in why BG80 feels so hard? If so, would this mean that Exbolt 68 doesn't have the same hard feeling as BG80?
up
exb68 didn't use vectran?? i thought they're meant to replace bg80
@@NyanBites ex 68 in yellow surprise me the most, i tho it gonna be on par with bg80
I don’t think Exbolt 68 is designed to replace BG80. And also, 68 doesn’t feel as hard as the 80. The 68 is designed for durability whilst the 80 is for repulsion/feel, they just happen to have the same string diameter.
Great Test. Awaiting the launch in March / April this year to test it myself. Currently I switched over to Exbolt 65 from 63. Great String for the new Nanoflare 1000ZZ and 800 Pro
I would love more cool looking colours too! 👌
I just love it when you post, man
You should start your own badminton store and sell too
Delivery worldwide 🥺🥺🥺
😂 thanks for the support lol!
Hi CK,
I'm currently using Arc11Pro with 66 Ultimax, do you think Exbolt 68 will provide better/harder/quicker smash?
Hold time from 11Pro reduces smash power in my opinion even though i've put tape on the head frame.
Planning to buy 3rd Gen 88DPro as my 2nd racket, but have yet to release 😂
If you use a arc11 pro and moving to 88d pro, understand that you will be sacrificing control (especially defence) for power. think carefully. I tried the 88d pro (4u) and felt that unless you want to switch your style of playing to more smashing from the back and want to play less at the net. The 11 pro is good all round but does not excel in speed or power. Its good enough to do anything but not dominate in any category. Moving to 88d pro you will then be leaning to dominate with smashes and hope your oppenent does not just play drops and nets against you. For me its quite a bit of sacrifice unless you have a good partner/friend to cover the net and he/she is whiling to always move to the front.
@@user-su5io3ch9r well, i think i do more smash with arc11pro instead of drop or control shots 😂
I've tried the current 88DPro 4UG5, and i absolutely love it. Felt amazing for any overhead shots, and for me, the control is on par with arc11pro, but i think it just how i felt and might be different for others.
One thing for sure is the defense, indeed slower, and it exhausts my forearm quicker.
I won't move to 88D Pro completely, i just want to have 2 rackets with different traits in my bag.
Having head-heavy rackets will always be good for training 😄
Great review. This makes me much more excited to test out this string when it gets released.
I would like to ask do you think that a hybrid string of exbolt 68 mains and exbolt 63 cross would be a good idea? Maybe you could try it out 😁
Thanks always @Ckyew for the great videos
Hi CK, what can you say now about Exbolt 68's "Strike through your opponents defense" description compared to 63's "pierce through" and 65's "drill through"? hehe
Anyway, does 68 have that punch when smashing? As always, very informative video. Thank you very much. :) 🏸
Which of the exbolt series is better for a beginner (adult/ 8Y old) in your opinion? Or you would rather recommend any other string?
Thanks.
I can say the Exbolt 65 really snaps on miss hits. I am not a pro nor even amateur player, I just casually play pn our club queues and my Exbolt 65 snapped on a backhand defensive shot miss hit. Immediately go back to BG 80 afterwards but with this Exbolt 68, it may restore my faith in the Exbolt lineup. Will definitely try this string out.
I play like 2 times a week with eb65 and it holds easily for 3 4 months. I string at 11kg 11.5kg or 23 25lb.
@@Dan_Vy You mean 11kg, cause the string force of Yonex 4 knots pattern is different than lining
Yeah both ex63 and 65 breaks too easily. Currently using N98, good balance between power and durability
same here,, twice a week,24,25 ,no issues,I'm good for 3 ,4 months,grretings bro
@@Dan_Vy
Looks like BG80 still the king of durability and power, it has survived lots of mishit at 27lbs for me.
I remember it was Lin Dan's main string and Viktor was using the new aerobite at that time however recent Viktor video said he was using BG80.
Hi CK Yew, Thanks for the video as always. Would love it if you can review other brand strings too. I found Felet and Victor really durable and fun to play with both 66 and 63. 😊
Do you think exbolt 68 is better than bg65ti for a school/club level player? I will be stringing it around 26lbs on an ArcSaber 11 play
i already have 88D Pro gen 3, i want to ask what string and tention that suitable for 88D pro for smasher?, it means that effortless for smasher, please answer my question, thanks
how does bg65 feels in your opinion cause i feel bg65 as soft and TI as hard, so how does it compare to exbolt68??
Hi!
where would you place the exbolts on the yonex string charts?
Hello! Do you perhaps know what’s the difference between lining no.1 and its rebound version?
What string should I go from lining no. 7
Bg65 , bg65 ti or exbolt 68 or bg 80
is exbolt 68 can be a good replacement to aerobite...i tried other strings like nanogy 98, bg66 ultimax, bg80 but bg80 is the string that is close to aerobite but it is too hard for my liking...i did tried exbolt 63 & exbolt 65...i like exbolt 65 better because i guess it is a more forgiving string
This 68 feels very close to Aerobite in terms of hardness/softness feeling. Repulsion is different 👌
@@CKYew How different is it?
@@CKYew nicee thankss...i may consider to try using exbolt 68 string when it become available...im not worry about the string repulsion roo much as i dont like my string become too repulsive...then i cannot control my shots
I use EXBOLT 65, on an arcsaber pro 7, i dont think upgrading will be too crucial for me, just yet.
it’s the best most satisfying combo
Hi, i love to use Aerobite string but the aerosonic breaks to easily even on the sweetspot. Do you have other strings recommendation that have good control and repulsion?
I agree aerobite is by far the best control with decent durability. I strung aerosonic and aerosonic boost so many times but they always break way too quickly. But now im working on my power instead of control so im using lining no.1 instead. Aerobite is good for 100% control but the repulsion is not good enough for heavy smashing. I starting to use a thicker string to get more replusion for the smash. I used to play 100% control with the lightest racket (10u) for quick shots. But starting to realise this combination cannot defend if someone is using 88d pro with 80 power. So now im using lining 9000c for good control, heavy 3u racket for stability, and lining 1 for good control yet durable. Maybe one day my wrist strength will be good enough for 80 power. P.s. i also use the powerball so to handle the 9000c. Average people will find it too heavy and stiff. The powerball is small enough for warmups, training, for people with limited time and money to go gyming everyday. Makes any 4u racket feel like a hollow tube inside and flex rackets feel unstable. @ckyew should try this, you will find 4u medium flex rackets like its for kids after training with a powerball.
@@user-su5io3ch9r do you recommend using the powerball for strengthening wrist muscle? I used 3d 900C and it is stiff heavy and head heavy raqcuet so right now i’m using arcsaber 11 pro 3U.
How does the exbolt 68 compare with the BG80P?
i want to know too, i dont think it will have much repulsion as BG80P
@@baoan2783bg80p is good if you can handle the hard string
I use BG80 and my string dealer loves me keeping him busy every few weeks! 😅😬
😂😂
Thank you for the review ! How would it compare to aerobite in terms of repulsion ? 😊
Hiya. Another great, informative video👏 Stringing with the Exbolt 65 at 26 x 28lbs, on a few occasions on the crosses the outer filament has separated during stringing. Am I doing something wrong? I'm always being careful not to nip or damage the string during stringing/clamping due to this experience.
Hi there, wanted to try ex65 tor the first time as yonex categories is as 11/10 for repulsions. And wanted to cross to as usually play at 28. It will be great to know your review for those setup. Does this string reallly give powerful smash? Feeling ? Thank you.
Hi CK, how about your thought about exbolt 68 with 25lbs tension (24lbs mains, 26lbs cross with 10% pre-strech) for recreational player with intermediate wrist stroke strength? Does the shuttle stroke can have a good repulsion too without too long hold time?
Sounds good to me
What string would you reccomend for a powerful smash and good control?
Apart from yonex string can u review other brands string eg. Kizuna , rsl, felet.
I currently use exbolt 65..but my plan to mix both ex65 & ex68 what is your opinion ya 😅
Did you tried or will try a combination of 68/63 like the Aerobite setup?
Same thought
How is it compared to skyarc?
Can you compare the exbolt 68 to the aerobite if you get a chance?
63 or 65 exbolt which one do you pick brother
If i need powerful smash 63 or 68 which one is better
Hey, I'm a backcourt player who usually throw heavy smashes. What should i use between bg80,bg80p,exbolt65 and exbolt68
Bg80p
Hi CKYew,
How do you think this would work in a hybrid formation? Ie ex68 mains and 65 or 63 crosses.
Would be very interested to hear what you think on varying hybrid combinations.
Cheers 😁
what do you think about ex 68 mains aerosonic cross at 27x28 ?
Just strung last week, broke yesterday, only 3 to 4 games, tension 25/27, not a hard hitter. Broke during defending 🥲 fastest string to break compare to Ultimax, Exbolt 65, 63, Aerobite.. Any factors lead to such issue?
Maybe your grommets are worn?
@@CKYew grommets.. perhaps so.. coz stringer said can do 1 last time before change on the next time... I will go ask again, thanks boss 😁
Is it hard feel or medium
Swiched from BG66Ultimax -> Exbolt65 -> Exbolt63. Loving the Exbolt63 which lasts 3 months playing twice a week.
seems like this would be a good bg80 replacement considering the texture and similar guage. confirm?
a bit more texture sounds good, the 65 and 63 are way too slippery for me. i've also found them hard to clamp when stringing as they're so slippery
Can you share the chart where the 4 quadrants of repulsion, durability, etc and the different strings are plotted? I'd love to see that.
Nice work 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
How is it compared to BG80P?
Which are best arcsaber 11play or arcsaber 7 play?
Is it Medium Feeling or Hard Feeling?
What about keepping tension over time ?
exbolt 63 is legit aerosonic combine with aerobite, but it traded durability.
Same thickness as the bg80, do You think this is meant to replace the legendary bg80 string?
Nope 😂
Nah
Nanoflare 1000play or arcsaber 11play?
Hopefully Exbolt 68 will be released soon
8/3/2024 Yonex confirmed it
What happen to BG 68TI? When did Yonex stop producing them. I really like the hitting sound on that. Still Can't wait for the Exbolt 68 to complete the whole set!
Yep, I think so. I’ve not see the 68Ti for quite a while now
Agree. That would be much more relevant comparison compared to this
I need this string advice for my NF-1000z
I assume Exbolt68 is aimed to replace the OG BG80 as Exbolt65 was released to replace BG66UM. Funny that Yonex put BG80 in the repulsion category while it should be counted as control string. I hope EX68 will perform as good as BG80 with extra durability. *BG80 breaks and lose tension easily
I do not have good experience with Exbolt 58 at all. I broke these strings 3 times in a week that were all strung to 27LBS. All of these snapped beacuse i hit the shuttle near the frame. So i would Say it my be durabe if you hit in the centre but its not the strong string at all. If you do not hit sweet spot the string will break easily. BG 65Ti is still the strongest for me.
Waiting for Latest Astrox 88d pro review
theres a new one ?
@@karnadyjuan Yea bro check in Google "Yonex catalog 2024" a pdf was released in official page.

Exbolt 68 vs BG80 please
Exbolt 63 and 65 are already “stiff” enough. I don’t know about this one. 🤔
Arc saber 11 pro or 88d pro doubles?
Both of them are good for doubles and single, but your style of play is important.
i'm currently using Arc11Pro 4UG5, it's an all-round racket. In my opinion, 11Pro is great at everything except drive and smash.
Even though my 11Pro's BP is around 305 mm (i put tape on top of the frame), it doesn't increase my smash power (unless you're strong as zhing si wei).
Pretty much because of the frame type that increase the shuttle-hold, so it's great for lobbing, back-hand clear, etc.
If you like smash from rear-court or want to train your forearm, getting heavy racket won't disappoint you.
If you're really confused, save more money, go find 2nd handed racket, and get both of them if you could.
Just like me, since i only have Arc11Pro,
I'm planning to get 3rd Gen 88D Pro (since the current 88D Pro will discontinue this year), having 2 racket with different traits is better, at least for me.
This is partly correct, i agree on the feeling of 11 pro. But getting a 88d pro will not increase your forearm strength. You will need something heavier, like gymming, cross training, powerball, etc. to handle a heavier racket. Understand that you will also be sacrificing control for power. You are essentially switching your play style. Putting tape will change the balance but does not change the fact it is still a 4u racket with medium flex. Aim higher and train for it, eat health. Effort pays with hard work. Theres no substitute for physical training and time spent on practices. Then again, how much effort (not just money) are you willing to spend?
@@user-su5io3ch9r
[Edited] My english is kinda bad, sorry in advance.
"How much effort am i willing to spend?"
Are you judging me?
If heavy racket won't increase my forearm strength, then why people who play badminton, they right hand's (right hand plays) forearm seems to be bigger than left forearm and vice versa?
Your strength did increase, but not as much if you go to gym.
"Essentially switching your playstyle," meaning:
Buying 88D Pro = Changing style.
Oh boy, i don't know if you dislike 88D Pro or not, but don't be like that okay.
You explain it in length and in the end you just want me not to buy the 88D Pro (?) Or maybe another reason?
Some people say they don't like Arc11Pro, but i like it.
Same with 88D Pro, some people may don't like it.
I believe you're capable to buy any high-end Yonex racket, but you can't force your opinion about things you don't like to other people, right?
Badminton is a hobby for many, it's up to them wether they want to buy any badminton equipments.
1 of my friend using only 1 cheap racket.
1 of my friend wanted to buy mid-high end racket, but thinking it's a waste of money
1 of my friend using many different rackets from different brands.
1 of my friend buy 8 rackets with 5 of them are high-end, but she's not professional.
What's important is that they're happy, and so on.
In the end, if you are happy with your hobby without disturbing or bothering other people, you're amazing brother.
FYI, i do workout, i do swimming, i do work at a company and i bought every single badminton equipments with my own money, cheers brother
The first impression using exbolt 68 is "hard feeling" 😂 i think this is my first hard feeling string i use and I'm shocked because I'm not used to this hard feeling strings 😂 come from exbolt 63 and 65, maybe i need more time to adapt with 68
how about ur tension?
@@amirulhakimin94 my string tension is 26x28
pls ryuga 2 pro review
to be frank, if the exbolt 65 just had a little more texture & bite to the string just like the 68, it could just be the best all round in the exbolt series.
ex68 seems to me to be the BG80 of the exbolt series
ex65 seems to be the BG66um of the exbolt series
ex63 seems to be the aerobite of the series, less the sticky bite component and just full focus on repulsion.
for better smash, which one do you think better for arcsaber11pro?
currently using 66ultimax
@@michael3294 as the arc11pro is made to be a control racket with high shuttle hold, no matter what string you put on it it won’t really make your smash as good as an astrox head heavy racket. unless you have very strong arm/forearm power. but working with what you have, you should go for high/quick repulsion strings. your 66UM string should do fine, but if you want to know which in the exbolt line up would improve your smash abit, try exbolt 65 or the new 68. i won’t recommend 63 altho it’s high repulsion too, as it breaks too easily at not even very high tensions (27lbs onwards)
Colours make a difference? Not much people uses black yet yonex still supply it. How much difference can it be other than price. Haha
Why is sound a thing? I'd rather have a bad sound but good power or control than a good sound with nothing else.
I still like BG80
And many would too! 🙏🏻
Lol, I also mark my reel strings with the sticks and crosses
It’s the only way 😂😂👌
Stokes Wall
Exbolt 68 doesnt have the control of aerobite boost !!!!

Compare with BG 80 please
Yeah, really weird approach, no words about the comparison to another hugely popular.68 yonex string
too bad just 3 colors

I figure mishits are not really good with Exbolt 65 (and BG66 Force) which has outer carbon nanotube technology.
Thin strings don’t survive mishits 😂
@@CKYew exbolt 63 is quite fine, nevertheless. So, no carbon nanotube tech or elastic outer for me.
