I'm glad there's something that helps your elbow. however, i think the best option is to choose a racket that doesnt cause more problems.

@MoreThanASwing I only use it when I randomly get matched up with players who swing at everything. They won't pay for your racket if they break yours but will expect you to pay for theirs if you break theirs. Also, at my club, we have players who wave the racket in my face to distract me or block my follow through before the shuttlecock has come on over to my side. They will argue it is legal & mock the opponent. I've seen other players react by showing no mercy at the net after that. I've seen racket clashes at the net.

@@itsara-tinokhrob3524 65>68>63 for me. It's the opposite from the video, I don't really got any grip on 68 since it's too smooth for me it's kinda similar to nanogy 98. Using 63 makes the sweetspot kinda small to me so I need to hit really precise in order to generate power, 65 is more forgiving than 63 but I still feel like the sweetspot kinda been narrowed down a little. My alternative for each exbolt string: Ultimax>exb65 BG80P>exb68 Vbs63>exb63(but durability is worse)

you have a very detailed response. Nice. I understand your point about measuring the balance point with or without the strings. I do measure all my rackets with the strings and with the grip that i play with. However, i also find it problematic because it is prone to human error. I am pretty sure some of my strings are longer or shorter. and some of my grips are likely thinner and thicker.

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".

yes.... thats something i would like to review too.

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.

how would you describe the feeling that 65 gives?

@@MoreThanASwing hitting feel, especially on attacking like drop shot, netting, or smash. Feels smooth like the shuttle goes through the string on hit and does not tire my arm For lob, lifting and defense, nanogy 98 wins, but i like attacking more so i choose exbolt strings

I too think 65 is better

​@@youtyrr23a bit hard feeling string compare to 63. Not for player who like soft feeling. Mybe due to ex65 has coating

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.

Nanoflare Nextage! A realllly decent racket at that price point!

Well, every racket will feel different between the 3U, 4U and 5U version. so that's not really surprising. I personally try to test all racket in 4U so that there's some form of consistency. The weight of the racket was 86.98. using the stock grip.

I was using the Exbolt 68! you like slightly head heavy racket? I like this racket tbh. :)

@@MoreThanASwing ​​ I’m mostly used to headheavy racket but i’ve been wanting to try something new other than yonex/victor ( I own Astrox 88 D-Pro 3rd and Ryuga Metallic) . Safe to say i'm more leaning to headheavy. Slightly head heavy is a thumbs up for me :D !

Nah that's not really how it works, doesn't mean the string that's not recommended doesn't suit the racket

Right? LMAO. Some wild "I will eat soup with a fork because the manufacturer box says I should" advice from the op

@@reyjerr4086 yonex rackets are tested with those recommended strings only ,that's y they mention as "recommended "

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.

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.

@@lamp6909 thanks! Will give it a go once my string breaks hehe

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! :)

@@MoreThanASwing thanks! I think that's why I like the bg80 also as it's more stable and hard so it's easier to control 😁

thank you!

hahaha. sorry sorry.

I might revisit that.... thank you for your suggestion...

hahaha. so sorry for that. i've had many comments complaining about that and we have adjusted the volume for subsequent videos!

..... I think this is an old colour though....

I'll need to give my bro a call later and update you...

the NF is much lighter. and hence, much quicker.

Thanks for the tips!

yes im gonna review more and more racket. regarding 88S, there are no plans yet, but i wouldnt rule that out. :)

Good point. and yes, its like a placebo effect. I am really curious where you get these information though? I think it will help with my content.

@@MoreThanASwing Just really watching a lot of racket reviews, for example this virtual badminton academy coach is rating the A11 Tour higher too th-cam.com/users/shortsA64ssACQ8g8. And also people are starting to do blind test on Pro vs Tour rackets, but it really takes a big heart and open mind to acknowledge that the Tour can sometime be a better racket.

anyone knows what are these?

interesting! How did you find out about this? This is especially interesting because usually, the pros require a stiffer racket and amateurs may not be able to fully appreciate the stiffness.

@@MoreThanASwing i had Nanoflare 555 before, made in Taiwan, and its price point similar to tour series. I read the word Rexis on its shaft, so i search every specs of tour series, and guess what, they are all have Rexis shaft too During my play with Nanoflare 555, i felt its stiffness which helped me to generate power, so i can confirm all tour series will always be a bit stiffer than pro series

Personally, given that this is such a light racket, i will go for 4U.

anyone knows what are these?

Hahaha you might have the wrong guy... I only "complained" about the balloting system and how it's affecting badminton.

anyone knows what are these?

I think it was the Exbolt 65 and about 26lbs.

Hey, I'd say the 700 tour, no doubt.

anyone knows what are these?

anyone knows what are these?

anyone knows what are these?

Hey, you asked a great question regarding the size. I didnt measure that at first. I'll take note in my next racket review. for this series, i'll try to get hold of the rackets again to measure them. :)

anyone knows what are these?

thats a good point. can you imagine a combination of those strings with offensive racket? Lethal. haha.

anyone knows what are these?

yes. i feel the same with regards to the lack of power. but that's the trademark for the NF Series. the NF1000 is really an anomaly.

@@MoreThanASwing The NF700 has way more power than the NF700 pro. NF700 pro is lighter thus quicker. It's all to preference.

I think mizuno shoes are the sexiest. haha.

No problem! Keep a lookout for future videos :)

thanks mate!
