I like “Drill trough” over “Pierce through” because “Drill through” sounds like a huge, spinning, mining drill. And “Pierce through sounds instant but weak like a small knitting needle.
Hi, Great review. I am a big fan of the Exbolt 63. I used to string with the BG 65 Titanium but the exbolt 63 plays much better. I will sure try the exbolt 65 because i always look for a better string i like to play with. The exbolt 65 for 200 meters will cost around 132,50 euro in The Netherlands. For the recreational players at my badmintonclub (and lower divisions) i give them the BG 65 Ti string because of its durability.
I have two Nanoflare rackets. I have one for maximum performance with exbolt 65 strings and another one with 65ti as a backup if the strings snap. Can't go wrong with a bg 65ti
My favourite without a doubt is the exbolt 65 and the 66 ultimax but even so I still found the 65ti better than most performance and thinner strings. Don't know why that is since the 65 ti is quite thick but just my opinion and experience 👍

Hi CK! Awesome review once again. I always love your technical explanations that made a lot of sense. By the way, is it just me or I notice that string thickness DO affect the balance point of the racket. I've always played with the exbolt 63 for my 100zz, then suddenly shifted to Li Ning no.1 boost string( a .65mm string). The head weight increase was quite noticeable. Was this the case for the Exbolt 65 as well, coming from exbolt 63? Hope to hear from you! :)
Sounds like you're super sensitive to weight changes. Yes, thicker strings will carry a bit more weight albeit negligible unless you're super sensitive and have multiple similar rackets to compare with.
@@CKYew I think the fact that I have two identical rackets except their strings make a contribution to this. May e exbolt 63 is just too thin that it slices through the air like hot knife through butter. 😅
@@bryanvillarojo9046 No 2 rackets are exactly identical. That is why manufacturers state weight and balance with a range or +/- values. Some players go as far as to bringing their scales to the store when purchasing several new rackets, so that the weights of the rackets are as close as possible
I have a Li-Ning Air Force 77 G2 and decided to pair it with this string after your review.. (I was previously considering opting for the Li-Ning 1 Boost) - think i'll go for around 25lbs tension to begin with and adjust in future restrings if needed.
@@Satyam-r06it has been great! - since had both of my Victor Thruster F Enhanced Editions restrung in it and love it… really good feedback from the string bed and you get a good bite into the shuttle so finesse shots like drops and cutting across the shuttle work really really well
Hey CK Yew! Thanks for the review. I did end up getting these strung and definitely agree with the 'not as forgiving' part from off center hits. Also noticed that these strings hold tension really well. I usually string BG80 /BG80P at 29lbs since it feels like they both lose a bit of tension after a week or two and like it sitting at around 27/28, but strung the Ex65 at 29lbs and felt like they never dropped/settled any more after a 6+ long badminton sessions. I feel like these don't last as long compared to the BG80, as I've already broken one after a month (judging by the breaking point, didn't seem like a mishit). I think it may be because they hold tension better and can definitely say they feel really nice (perhaps also the tension). Have also ordered some of your racket protector films, keen for those. Keep up the good work mate
@@kev4242 The regular BG80 needs to be strung at higher tension (maybe 2lbs) to make it more crisp / not feel as spongy. I couldn't really get used to the 'waxy' feeling of the ex65, but like how the bg80 'holds' the shuttle a little longer. Depending on your racket characteristics and playstyle, it might be what you're after.
It honestly looks like yonex is trying to improve the ultimax that isn't just for tournament play. So many oem and companies all have a good standard 0.65mm string but yonex. Zymax 65, li ning no.1 and g-tone 5 are and still beastly strings.
Nah the only good thing abt lining no.1 is they're dirt cheap and have good repulsion but lose tension super fast. I always strung my rackets with the no.1 bcs its cheap but i cut them every 1 month bcs they lose tension too fast. Agree abt gtone, they're amazing string
@@badmintongod72 no.1 does have a huge tension drop but settles over a longer period. Unlike ultimax which dies after a few sessions or 1-2 weeks depending on play. In terms of cheap strings, I guess it depends on where u live, for me they are all around the same price, even if I import maybe the difference is marginal. Will try Li Ning N65 next after I finish this Kizuna Z65 and then by that time exbolt 65 will come.
@@95thRiflesOCI rlly ultimax drop tension faster? I've never tried it tho. And yeah, no.1 is rly dirt cheap here in indonesia, i mean among big branded and good strings, no.1 is dirt cheap. Fyi bg66 is 12$, bg66um is 13$, and no.1 only 7$. Sometimes if i wanted more "hard feeling" and less tension loss i use no.1 boost. Do you have another recomend for cheap but good strings?
I'd say drill through. Might not be as instantaneous as piercing through, but maybe Exbolt 65 has enough durability for you to keep attacking and "drill" through the defense! I use BG66UM and seeing as this is another .65 string by Yonex, I just might give it a shot!
great review ck! Nice insight regarding the new Exbolt 65 👍🏼 I have a question regarding other yonex strings. I personally used BG80 and BG66 Ultimax the most and I really love both of them. I have a competition coming up and I don't know which string to go for, which would you recommend me to get?
Hi CK Yew! Loved the informative video about the new exbolt 65. Have you tried the Lining No. 3 Boost string? Currently using it and it feels a tad soft @26lb. Do you reckon the new exbolt 65 would provide the harder feeling I am looking for? A little adverse to stringing the Lining tighter
Great review! Big fan of the Exbolt 63 so the 65 was definitely quite interesting and appealing. Right now I have been sticking with the Li-Ning No. 1 and absolutely love them; was wondering if you could also do a review on Li-Ning strings as I have yet to see a high quality review or comparison of them. Would be interesting to hear your opinion on them!
@@CKYew I did, using the exbolt 63 for 6 months now, great string. Mark Lawrence mentioned this 65 a couple of months ago but this review came out of the blue
Hey man, Im a new subscriber to your channel. Been using nanogy 99 on my duora 10, was planning to switch to 4u 100zz but not sure whether to stick with nanogy 99 or try out the exbolt 63... Nanogy 99 to me is good tbh, it just sometimes i feel like it’s kinda stiff but control wise everything is good. Any suggestions on that ?
@@CKYew thanks for the reply ! Just wondering if i were to get exbolt 63 , should i string it at higher tension or just go with normal tension I’ve been using ?
Finally what I was waiting for. I hope the price is similar to Exbolt 63. I use Nanogy 98 from last week and hopefully Exbolt 65 will be released for global before my string break
Personally, I'd agree with your wife then. "Pierce" sounds like one powerful fast shot. Where "Drill" sounds more like a more heavy, slightly slower shot. But that's just my opinion. Besides that, I just started playing with a set of Exbolt 63 and it feels so effortless with fast swinged shots (clears, smashes, drives) compared to a BG80 or Aerobite, all strung at 24x25lbs. Exbolt 65 is still on the testing list after this
Hi CK, not sure you have the same feeling with me or not but I feel like the exbolt 65 is not durable like what it is advertised. I feel like the exbolt 63 lasts longer than the 65. Your thoughts?
What the difference between Nanogy99 and Exbolt65, Aerobite. All these high end string feels same. Have you used Ashway Zymax 66Fire ? I felt Zymax66 Fire has better elasticity and while comparing to Nanogy99, and also better shock absorption. Yonex making lot of money with all these expensive products. Waiting for your review on Ashway Zymax66 Fire. As of now I have used the following strings BG65, BG65 Ti, BG66 Max, BG80 Power, Nanogy95 & 99, Lining No1, No7, Transform TS01, Kizuna Z69, Ashway Zymax 66Fire. Among all these strings, I rank them in the following way N0 01 - Tie between Nanogy99 & Zymax 66 Fire. (Zymax Fire66 priced lesser and more value for money as well) N0 02 - BG66 Ultimax N0 03 - Transform TS 01 (Similar to BG66 & Nanogy99, but looses the ranking in shock absorption) Kizuna Z69 is better than BG65.
Nice review. I'll probably like the exbolt 65 more than the 63 because it is likely more durable than the 63 but I do wonder what is your take on the Skyarc on a full review. I've seen your yonex badminton strings video but you haven't played with it by then. I am curios whether the skyarc truly gives a little help for beginner to intermediate players as advertised, especially for those who lack power for returning the shuttle further down the court. Also, if a new review for strings may come, is it possible for you to review it in various tensions specifically: 24, 28, and 30 or 32 since that is the common tensions that beginner/intermediate, intermediate/advance, and advance/professional players play respectively. Thank you once again for the review. Hoping for more reviews. Keep up the Great work.
I've played with Skyarc although I didnt have too much time with it. It reminded me a lot of the Nanogy 99 although they're both relatively thicker strings compared to these lot. 😬😬
We need a video about the elephant in the room regarding badminton gear.. The biggest problems is not the strings, the rackets nor the shoes but the shuttlecocks OUTRAGEOUS PRICES. They are so high nowadays that I've considered using hybrids and as a result picking less tension on my strings AND ALSO PLAYING WITH CHEAPER RACKETS. BABOLAT2 tube was 24euros, BABOLAT4 was 16euros. Those were already considered expensive seeing how durable they are but try to find such prices in todays market.
Hello ! I live in Indonesia and we have 2 different versions of Exbolt 65, SP (South Pacific) and JP (Japan). Is it the same in UK ? Do you find any differences between the two if you have them ? As the price difference is quite a lot between the two (around 8 USD for SP and 15 USD for JP) Thanks for the review !
Great review, I will try out this new Exbolt 65 string. I’m currently playing with the Exbolt 63 and I must say that it is a very nice string to play with. Very curious when I play with the Exbolt 65 and see which string I prefer. Your choice is the 65. Will let you know if I feel the same.
@CK Yew I’ve tried the Exbolt 65 but I must say I prefer the 63 better. I have more feeling with the 63 and my drops en netplay are very sharp with the 63 then the 65. So my choice is the Exbolt 63. You are still playing with the Exbolt 65?
I prefer pierce through better than drill through.I mean pierce sounds more of an instant damage… That’s why we have some terms like armour piercing bullets instead of armour drilling bullets.
Hey, CK! How would you compare the slice, control, and smashing of this compared to the BG80? I like a string that's good for smashing and repulsion with decent durability.
Hi CK! Came across your channel through Badminton insight and decided to give your other vids (like this one!) a go! I am very curious and committed to the Exbolt 65 (as I already purchased a coil recently lol, to replace my main strings on my AX100ZZ 4U racket) but is it a safe option to use my normal tension with the EX65? I haven't shopped around for strings recently (exbolt being completely new to me). I also frequently play (twice a week minimum) and is of an intermediate double player level in badminton. This is mostly two questions, as I'm quite sensitive to thin vs thicker strings (believing in thicker strings being strung at higher tension= awesome), and there was a thread I read, advising if you were to use the exbolt strings, to -1 your usual tension for it. Knowing this, are you still saying its safe to use usual tension, if I am very used to thicker strings? Gear: My main strings that I mainly use is the BG70 Pro (BG 70 pro is 0.70mm) at 28". Why I believe in them, is well the entire time I've used em, I've only had the one time where the strings snapped during a game. Every other time I had to cut them before restringing, as they lost their tension after several months (before this was BG65/65Ti but they're prone to losing tension quick, hence BG70 pro, was the solution and 'superior' string to BG 65/65ti. Sorry for the essay, but hoping to hear your wisdom and help too! :D
The stringer warned me that the exbolt 65 will become ruffled immediately after stringing, but this is just a outer coating that does not affect the strength of the string. I want to know if you guys had the same problem or this is the mistake of my stringer.
@@CKYew this is really strange because both of my racquets with exbolt 65 string are ruffled, while the other 2 are perfect with 66 ultimax string. All with the same 26x28lbs tension and 0.65mm thickness
@@CKYewAfter consulting the stringer using the Yonex PT8 Deluxe. I finally found the root cause of the problem. The problem is that the exbolt 65 is too slippery, causing it to slip off the puller head a bit and this will scratch the outer coating. This can happen with all stringing machine that use a locking mechanism without a pre-clamp ring lock such as the Victor C-7032 Pro (my stringer machine)
Do the pros use pre stretch? I ask my local stringer, he said he never use prestrech. So 27lbh is 27lbs as per the number. What do you think about this? Is the 27lbs (no pre stretch) is different with 27lbs (prestrech)? "Should" all players use prestrech? What is the standard?
There is no standard, its all down to personal preference. I personally use pre-stretch and I know some pro players do. Others dont. It's really just down to you. there's no right or wrong
Halo ck saya dari Indonesia 🙏 Menurut anda mana yang lebih baik bg 66 ultimax atau exbolt 65? Maaf karena dipenjelasan anda dalam bahasa inggris saya kurang paham. Terima kasih 🙏
hi ck, i would like to ask whether this exbolt 65 will be having a more power on smash compared to BG80 with a same lbs? i read the specs this exbolt 65 has a same size with bg 66 ultimax...but when i tried to compare between bg 80 and bg 66 UM..i felt that bg 66 um has a less power compared to bg 80...
There is no perfect tension. The best is to try out a few different tensions to find what you prefer. I'd suggest a lower tension for plastic shuttle though.
Hi CK, When you string your Aerobite, is it 27lbs Main by 29lbs Cross? Coz I've read a comment saying the the aerobite main should have higher tension. Would be nice to hear your (or anybody's) thoughts on this! Thanks!
I'm an intermediate club player. I have Yonesx 88D with exbolt 29lbs (vertical and horizontal). I feel the repulsion is not that good. Thinking of going for exbolt 63 with 29lbs horizontal and 27lbs vertical. Is this a better option ?
Hi CK, have some a question. How is the string's feel and repulsion compared to nanogy 98, 99, li ning no 1? I used nanogys for several years before change to li ning no 1 because I like the slightly harder feeling of li ning no 1. Unfortunately, my local stringer runs out of stock and it could take a while before next delivery so I have to choose other options. Currently considering back to the nanogy but also interested to try something else, like exbolt 65 or BG 80 just to see whether I like them. Could you give more insight in that regards? Thanks in advance!
Hey CK! Just recently bought this just to try it out. I wanted to ask why do you need to "sit out or settle" the string after having it freshly stringed?does it have a bad effect If I dont? Cause I immediately played with mine and now I'm wondering if there's a bad effect.
A newly strung racket has different tension between the edge and the middle part. This is also a reason why people use pre-stretch, to ensure the middle part has the tension you want. Over time, the tension equalizes. Therefore, your newly strung rackets may have subtle characteristics different compared to the same racket after it settles. IDK if the difference is significant enough to feel though
Hi CK Yew, I am currently using Aerobite and watching this review made me wonder if I should give Exbolt 65 a go but before that I would just like to get your personal opinion when comparing Aerobite and Exbolt 65. Which string do you like more?
I am begineer level. Been setup 26lbs this string with arcsaber 11 pro. I have difficulty and struggle to clear/return when play double. It seems i need alot of energy to do so. Is aerobite good replacement for me.?
If you are struggling with the length of your clears, I would recommend lowering the tension to give you more support. The aerobite at 26lbs is most likely going to make it even harder, not easier since it is less repulsive than the exbolt 65. As a beginner, you should play at 22/23 lbs and go up with the tension when your technique gets better.
Maybe I should try this one. Using the exbolt 63 right now and with lower tension than yours the difference when misshit is still huge. If this is more forgiving I should try this one, no info yet on price here
Hey CkYew may I know what is so good about smooth string? Cuz they said if u dislike smooth string,Exbolt 65 isn't a string u would like as it's one of Yonex most smooth string Pls reply bro , thanks and have a great day
Hi awesome review there. I wanna ask i am currently using astrox 99 4u g4 with bg 80 power 25 lbs tension . I am a power player i.e smashing and pretty quick reflexes . Which string would be preferable exbolt 63 or 65 ? And i lose tension within 2 weeks , what change should i do?
Just my opinion but the exbolt 65 is slightly more durable and the 63s have less but the 63s have slightly more power and the 65s slightly less. Both absolutely great strings and I found very small difference between the two but in terms of maximizing your power It'd be the 63 but slightly more expensive
I watched the Yonex string review and both in that video and here much of the review is about the hitting sound. Why is it so important? does it actually have any benefit besides giving the player a good feel when they hear their own shots? (Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of a great timed smash/clear, but I never really considered it as a factor when picking my string, so I thought I might be missing something.)
I have a little question : i got exbolt 65 but when i give my racket to restring it, they can’t string it because the string break. I don’t know why because i only put 26lbs wich is not too much. Is is my coil defective ? Or is there an other way to string with thé exbolt ? Ty
It sounds like they preweave the strings on your racket before mounting it onto the machine to just pull it. 😬😬 I think the string burn is causing the break.
I strung an Astro 88D with the Xbolt 65, 26 and 28 pounds. The guy said it broke on his first game, right above the sweet spot. Never had this issue before, I have done 50 to 75 rackets. 6 point machine. Never done exbolt before. No pre-weaving. I am baffled, just trying to figure out what is going on. Thank you.
i initially used the eb63 and didn't like it. Swapped it to the EB65 and it's definitely much nicer. Also got the EB65 on the Victor TKFe. But once they break I will move back to BG66UM. I find power and control much nicer on it.
@@baoan2783 depends on a lot of factors but I think it is. I play twice per week using 26lb and last 6-9months. I'm not always hard hitter though, mainly control and half smash. Occasionally full smash. I don't restring often since it's too expensive and I play social so I'm not too fussed when tension drops
is exbolt 65 suitable for high aggressive attacking playstyle??? and exbolt 65 or bg66 force better im used bg66 force for 1 year now so i asking for Ck's opinion XD try to see if exbolt 65 suitable for me
Is there a specific way to string with XB63? A friend broke 2 strings in 2 days with 28lbs one day and 27 in the other. Funny thing is, he played 5 minutes with each racket/string and then it broke. It wasnt a misshit, which was very weird... Could it be that the stringer did something wrong?
Question, I’m considering this string and wondering what tension should I choose? Ever since, I just played with those recreational rackets (2 pairs), I don’t even know what tension they are lol.
I am assuming you have a slightly good grasp on how to play badminton? I think 24-26 lbs is good for you. I suggest getting your first ever branded racquet (Yonex, LiNing, Victor, Babolat, etc.) then use an Exbolt 65 at 24-26 lbs.
Hi Ck i love your videos, i wanted to ask im currently playing with astrox 88s game do you have a recommendation on what string i should use and the tension, Thanks.
@@CKYew sure ill give it a try on my other racket. and also is aerobite or aerobite boost great on astrox88s game? Im considering on which of these two i should use, Thanks.
So ive tried the ex65 for a few hours now and i have to say i prefer the ex63 to it idk what it is but this string jusy doesnt feel great for me, the exbolt63 however feels fantastic
How come that your exbolt 65 string can go up to 29lbs with 10% pre stretched without snapping because when I string my 77 pro with 29lbs using exbolt 65, the string snap in mid stringing procedure
Its probably because something is 'cutting' into the string. Check your grommets and replace worn ones. Make sure there's no cracks on your frame too. The string itself should hold upwards of 50+ lbs so it certainly shouldnt be breaking at 29 lbs.
Actually my racket is only been string once from the flagship store. I also string my racket with white exbolt 65 with 27lbs by 29lbs when I bought it. I'm confused because when the seller from the flagship string my racket, the exbolt 65 string doesn't snap and doesn't have any overstretched characteristics from the string. But when I replaced my racket with a new set of exbolt 65 after 2 weeks but in a local badminton stringing shop, they refuse to string my racket with my common set up which is 27lbs by 29lbs. But I force them to do my common set up but the string snap while in mid stringing procedure at the cross strings putting a tension of 29lbs
And also the flagship store of Yonex here in our area is more than 250km away from our house. The first thing that I blame is because they use an automatic stringer but I guess that's not the case because you also string your rackets with an automatic stringer. When I first stringed this racket, the flagship store only uses a mechanical stringer that's why I conclude that the automatic stringer is the reason but it's not. Second that I blame is the staff's I guess bad pulling of the strings maybe because they just pull the string in every grommet not gentle
@@CKYewI agree. I don't like him also when pulling my strings using a hooker thingy so maybe that's the reason. I know also how to string a racket but the problem is I don't have a stringer in our home
How hard does the string feel when compared to the exbolt63, since ive been using the 63 for about 2 months now, about 16 sessions and i really like how hard the 63 feels u think itll be a good string to try?
I am using Aerobite now with 26/28. I need little more effort to clear to backline. Should I reduce the tension 25/27? Now Aerobite is not available in stringer shop and also not in yonex 2022 lineup. Is Exbolt 65 the best option to replace Aerobite?
@@CKYew 2022 badminton string lineup chart from Yonex APAC distributor shows Exbolt 65 but Aerobite is not there. Aerobite Boost and Skyarc are the two control string left.
I currently using li ning racket with bg 80 power and now im using astrox 77 with bg 66 ultimax since aerobite and exb 63 is soldout so will there be a huge difference changing from bg 80p to bg66 ultimax
Today i got one of my dad’s old racket strung up with the exbolt 65 at 28lbs. This racket in particular is extremely head light to the point it feels like you’re hitting with an unstrung racket. So when i went for my first shot, the sound that the racket made was like a gunshot. Ive never heard such a sound before, it was literally like gunshot or firecrackers. Feel of the strings are a 9/10 for me, clears are pretty effortless even tho its a head light racket but it is a bit hard to hit overhead stuff cuz my racket feels so light. Smashes are great, just overall great response from the strings. So if anyone is thinking about trying out the exbolt 65 or 63, i would say go for 65 for a more all rounded feel. I used to string exbolt 63 and it feels more responsive than 65. Hope this was useful😂
May i ask which of these string has more all round sound ,for example: clears,smashes,drives,serves and drop has the same sound, bc CK said exbolt 63 has more benefits on clears and smashes and 65 has more on drives serves and drop
@@L_JW03 exbolt 63 will have more sound, control and power in general because of the thinner string compared to exbolt 65. But 65 will be more durable and friendly for beginner and intermediate players because thinner string requires more precision and quality shots
I think players can appreciate the Exbolt 65 and 63 more at higher tensions (the crisp and pingy feeling it gives) but you can try at 26 lbs for your own exploration. 🤷♂

Yep, 66 Ultimax certainly feels softer than 63.
Hey CK Yew! Thanks for the review.
I did end up getting these strung and definitely agree with the 'not as forgiving' part from off center hits.
Also noticed that these strings hold tension really well. I usually string BG80 /BG80P at 29lbs since it feels like they both lose a bit of tension after a week or two and like it sitting at around 27/28, but strung the Ex65 at 29lbs and felt like they never dropped/settled any more after a 6+ long badminton sessions.
I feel like these don't last as long compared to the BG80, as I've already broken one after a month (judging by the breaking point, didn't seem like a mishit). I think it may be because they hold tension better and can definitely say they feel really nice (perhaps also the tension).
Have also ordered some of your racket protector films, keen for those. Keep up the good work mate
How would you compare the BG80 to the Exbold 65? Thanks
@@kev4242 The regular BG80 needs to be strung at higher tension (maybe 2lbs) to make it more crisp / not feel as spongy.
I couldn't really get used to the 'waxy' feeling of the ex65, but like how the bg80 'holds' the shuttle a little longer. Depending on your racket characteristics and playstyle, it might be what you're after.
It honestly looks like yonex is trying to improve the ultimax that isn't just for tournament play. So many oem and companies all have a good standard 0.65mm string but yonex. Zymax 65, li ning no.1 and g-tone 5 are and still beastly strings.
I guess 0.65mm is the new 0.7mm 10 years ago
Nah the only good thing abt lining no.1 is they're dirt cheap and have good repulsion but lose tension super fast. I always strung my rackets with the no.1 bcs its cheap but i cut them every 1 month bcs they lose tension too fast. Agree abt gtone, they're amazing string
@@badmintongod72 no.1 does have a huge tension drop but settles over a longer period. Unlike ultimax which dies after a few sessions or 1-2 weeks depending on play. In terms of cheap strings, I guess it depends on where u live, for me they are all around the same price, even if I import maybe the difference is marginal. Will try Li Ning N65 next after I finish this Kizuna Z65 and then by that time exbolt 65 will come.
@@95thRiflesOCI rlly ultimax drop tension faster? I've never tried it tho. And yeah, no.1 is rly dirt cheap here in indonesia, i mean among big branded and good strings, no.1 is dirt cheap. Fyi bg66 is 12$, bg66um is 13$, and no.1 only 7$. Sometimes if i wanted more "hard feeling" and less tension loss i use no.1 boost. Do you have another recomend for cheap but good strings?
@@badmintongod72 yeah ultimax lose tension faster than no1 li ning
I'd say drill through. Might not be as instantaneous as piercing through, but maybe Exbolt 65 has enough durability for you to keep attacking and "drill" through the defense! I use BG66UM and seeing as this is another .65 string by Yonex, I just might give it a shot!
Absolutely!! I think you should give it a try 👍

Is it any better than bg 80 ?
great review ck! Nice insight regarding the new Exbolt 65 👍🏼
I have a question regarding other yonex strings. I personally used BG80 and BG66 Ultimax the most and I really love both of them. I have a competition coming up and I don't know which string to go for, which would you recommend me to get?
Go for the one you prefer more 👍
@@CKYew do you think ex63/65 can maintain tension longer like bg80?
Hi CK Yew! Loved the informative video about the new exbolt 65. Have you tried the Lining No. 3 Boost string? Currently using it and it feels a tad soft @26lb. Do you reckon the new exbolt 65 would provide the harder feeling I am looking for? A little adverse to stringing the Lining tighter
I've not tried the Li Ning no. 3 yet but the Exbolt 65 feels pretty crisp so i think you might like it 👍
Great review! Big fan of the Exbolt 63 so the 65 was definitely quite interesting and appealing. Right now I have been sticking with the Li-Ning No. 1 and absolutely love them; was wondering if you could also do a review on Li-Ning strings as I have yet to see a high quality review or comparison of them. Would be interesting to hear your opinion on them!
I plan to do a full lining string review in the future 👍🏼
Nice review as always CK,
Glad you enjoyed it
@@CKYew I did, using the exbolt 63 for 6 months now, great string.
Mark Lawrence mentioned this 65 a couple of months ago but this review came out of the blue
Hey man, Im a new subscriber to your channel. Been using nanogy 99 on my duora 10, was planning to switch to 4u 100zz but not sure whether to stick with nanogy 99 or try out the exbolt 63... Nanogy 99 to me is good tbh, it just sometimes i feel like it’s kinda stiff but control wise everything is good. Any suggestions on that ?
You can certainly try it and go back to the 99 if you dont like it
@@CKYew thanks for the reply ! Just wondering if i were to get exbolt 63 , should i string it at higher tension or just go with normal tension I’ve been using ?
Was waiting for this video
Niceeeeee 👍👍
Finally you reviewed the exbolt 65
👍👍
Finally what I was waiting for. I hope the price is similar to Exbolt 63.
I use Nanogy 98 from last week and hopefully Exbolt 65 will be released for global before my string break
Similar pricing with other top end string ie aerobite
Launch is on the 19th of August but should be in stores by then 👍
Personally, I'd agree with your wife then. "Pierce" sounds like one powerful fast shot. Where "Drill" sounds more like a more heavy, slightly slower shot. But that's just my opinion.
Besides that, I just started playing with a set of Exbolt 63 and it feels so effortless with fast swinged shots (clears, smashes, drives) compared to a BG80 or Aerobite, all strung at 24x25lbs. Exbolt 65 is still on the testing list after this
👌👌 effortless is good!
Hi ck!! Really benefited from your reviews. Also i want to ask which is more forgiving to new players? The 66 ultimax or 65 exbolt
yess
I'd say the Ultimax is more forgiving but they generally break straightaway on a bad mishit. The Exb65 on the other hand dont 😬😬
Hi CK, not sure you have the same feeling with me or not but I feel like the exbolt 65 is not durable like what it is advertised. I feel like the exbolt 63 lasts longer than the 65. Your thoughts?
My experiences with both Exbolt strings have been very good thus far so I certainly have no issues with durability there.
@@CKYew Cheers thanks. Probably I strung it too high (28 lbs) :D
Pierce sounds more like for speed like, pierce faster than they can react
Drill sounds more like, break their defence
What the difference between Nanogy99 and Exbolt65, Aerobite. All these high end string feels same.
Have you used Ashway Zymax 66Fire ? I felt Zymax66 Fire has better elasticity and while comparing to Nanogy99, and also better shock absorption.
Yonex making lot of money with all these expensive products.
Waiting for your review on Ashway Zymax66 Fire.
As of now I have used the following strings
BG65, BG65 Ti, BG66 Max, BG80 Power, Nanogy95 & 99, Lining No1, No7, Transform TS01, Kizuna Z69, Ashway Zymax 66Fire.
Among all these strings, I rank them in the following way
N0 01 - Tie between Nanogy99 & Zymax 66 Fire. (Zymax Fire66 priced lesser and more value for money as well)
N0 02 - BG66 Ultimax
N0 03 - Transform TS 01 (Similar to BG66 & Nanogy99, but looses the ranking in shock absorption)
Kizuna Z69 is better than BG65.
Nice review. I'll probably like the exbolt 65 more than the 63 because it is likely more durable than the 63 but I do wonder what is your take on the Skyarc on a full review.
I've seen your yonex badminton strings video but you haven't played with it by then. I am curios whether the skyarc truly gives a little help for beginner to intermediate players as advertised, especially for those who lack power for returning the shuttle further down the court. Also, if a new review for strings may come, is it possible for you to review it in various tensions specifically: 24, 28, and 30 or 32 since that is the common tensions that beginner/intermediate, intermediate/advance, and advance/professional players play respectively.
Thank you once again for the review. Hoping for more reviews. Keep up the Great work.
I've played with Skyarc although I didnt have too much time with it. It reminded me a lot of the Nanogy 99 although they're both relatively thicker strings compared to these lot. 😬😬
We need a video about the elephant in the room regarding badminton gear..
The biggest problems is not the strings, the rackets nor the shoes but the shuttlecocks OUTRAGEOUS PRICES.
They are so high nowadays that I've considered using hybrids and as a result picking less tension on my strings AND ALSO PLAYING WITH CHEAPER RACKETS.
BABOLAT2 tube was 24euros,
BABOLAT4 was 16euros.
Those were already considered expensive seeing how durable they are but try to find such prices in todays market.
Hello ! I live in Indonesia and we have 2 different versions of Exbolt 65, SP (South Pacific) and JP (Japan). Is it the same in UK ? Do you find any differences between the two if you have them ? As the price difference is quite a lot between the two (around 8 USD for SP and 15 USD for JP) Thanks for the review !

Great review, I will try out this new Exbolt 65 string. I’m currently playing with the Exbolt 63 and I must say that it is a very nice string to play with. Very curious when I play with the Exbolt 65 and see which string I prefer. Your choice is the 65. Will let you know if I feel the same.
Brilliant! I think if you loved the 63, you’ll like the 65! 👍🏼💪🏻

@CK Yew I’ve tried the Exbolt 65 but I must say I prefer the 63 better. I have more feeling with the 63 and my drops en netplay are very sharp with the 63 then the 65. So my choice is the Exbolt 63. You are still playing with the Exbolt 65?
@@housemusic9194 does the 63 break fast?

Hi CK. This was a great review. I was just wondering if this string is good for all rounded player.
Yep, I think it’s a good option. Just be aware that it’s still a thin string and might snap if you miss hit 😬
@@CKYew tysm😄
I prefer pierce through better than drill through.I mean pierce sounds more of an instant damage… That’s why we have some terms like armour piercing bullets instead of armour drilling bullets.
Hey CK Yew thanks for the informative video! It's been 5 months and now how would you rate the durability thus far?
I replace my strings very regularly but the 65’s durability was great from my testing over the few weeks
Hey, CK! How would you compare the slice, control, and smashing of this compared to the BG80? I like a string that's good for smashing and repulsion with decent durability.
Aerobite still your favourite I saw it scoring top in the Badminton Racquet Review test but that video was 3yrs old maybe Aerobite still the best ?
Hi CK! Came across your channel through Badminton insight and decided to give your other vids (like this one!) a go!
I am very curious and committed to the Exbolt 65 (as I already purchased a coil recently lol, to replace my main strings on my AX100ZZ 4U racket) but is it a safe option to use my normal tension with the EX65? I haven't shopped around for strings recently (exbolt being completely new to me). I also frequently play (twice a week minimum) and is of an intermediate double player level in badminton.
This is mostly two questions, as I'm quite sensitive to thin vs thicker strings (believing in thicker strings being strung at higher tension= awesome), and there was a thread I read, advising if you were to use the exbolt strings, to -1 your usual tension for it. Knowing this, are you still saying its safe to use usual tension, if I am very used to thicker strings?
Gear: My main strings that I mainly use is the BG70 Pro (BG 70 pro is 0.70mm) at 28". Why I believe in them, is well the entire time I've used em, I've only had the one time where the strings snapped during a game. Every other time I had to cut them before restringing, as they lost their tension after several months (before this was BG65/65Ti but they're prone to losing tension quick, hence BG70 pro, was the solution and 'superior' string to BG 65/65ti.
Sorry for the essay, but hoping to hear your wisdom and help too! :D
Good comment! I’d say stick to your usual tension and give the Exbolt 65 a go!! 💪🏻💪🏻👌
@@CKYew Appreciate your time reading and still saying sticking to my usual tension CK! I'll be sure to look forward to testing it out!
which is the best shot for players with medium strength, exbolt 65 or exbolt 63?
Great vid! Btw you should do reviews on apacs rackets😃
Hopefully soon!
Can't wait to try after my main bg80 string dies. Also looking forward to the Arcsaber 11 review🙃
U meam the new Arcsaber 7?
Yeah, i think he meant Arcsaber 7 as my Arcsaber 11's review has been out for a while now.
The stringer warned me that the exbolt 65 will become ruffled immediately after stringing, but this is just a outer coating that does not affect the strength of the string. I want to know if you guys had the same problem or this is the mistake of my stringer.
It shouldnt be though unless your stringer has everything preweaved and just pulling them forcefully during stringing 😬😬
@@CKYew this is really strange because both of my racquets with exbolt 65 string are ruffled, while the other 2 are perfect with 66 ultimax string. All with the same 26x28lbs tension and 0.65mm thickness
😬😬
@@CKYewAfter consulting the stringer using the Yonex PT8 Deluxe. I finally found the root cause of the problem. The problem is that the exbolt 65 is too slippery, causing it to slip off the puller head a bit and this will scratch the outer coating. This can happen with all stringing machine that use a locking mechanism without a pre-clamp ring lock such as the Victor C-7032 Pro (my stringer machine)
Either that or he/she needs to clean off/service his grippers 😬
Do the pros use pre stretch?
I ask my local stringer, he said he never use prestrech. So 27lbh is 27lbs as per the number.
What do you think about this?
Is the 27lbs (no pre stretch) is different with 27lbs (prestrech)?
"Should" all players use prestrech?
What is the standard?
There is no standard, its all down to personal preference. I personally use pre-stretch and I know some pro players do. Others dont. It's really just down to you. there's no right or wrong
@@CKYew what does prestrech do?

Hey CK!
I just want to know the tension for “Aerobite Boost “
We play with plastic shuttle (Mavis350)

There is no perfect tension. The best is to try out a few different tensions to find what you prefer. I'd suggest a lower tension for plastic shuttle though.
Hello CK, which one do you think is better between Exbolt 65 and BG66 Force?
Hi CK, When you string your Aerobite, is it 27lbs Main by 29lbs Cross? Coz I've read a comment saying the the aerobite main should have higher tension. Would be nice to hear your (or anybody's) thoughts on this! Thanks!

Hi CK, have some a question. How is the string's feel and repulsion compared to nanogy 98, 99, li ning no 1? I used nanogys for several years before change to li ning no 1 because I like the slightly harder feeling of li ning no 1. Unfortunately, my local stringer runs out of stock and it could take a while before next delivery so I have to choose other options. Currently considering back to the nanogy but also interested to try something else, like exbolt 65 or BG 80 just to see whether I like them. Could you give more insight in that regards? Thanks in advance!
I think this beats all of them for repulsion! You should try it at least once
hey CK yew!i have a question what string was the guy with the orange string,what string is he using? 0:25
I am currently using G-Tone 5 @24lbs on my Acr 7 Pro. How does the Exbolt 65 compare to that in terms of softness and shots off-the-sweet spot?
Hey CK! Just recently bought this just to try it out. I wanted to ask why do you need to "sit out or settle" the string after having it freshly stringed?does it have a bad effect If I dont? Cause I immediately played with mine and now I'm wondering if there's a bad effect.
A newly strung racket has different tension between the edge and the middle part. This is also a reason why people use pre-stretch, to ensure the middle part has the tension you want. Over time, the tension equalizes. Therefore, your newly strung rackets may have subtle characteristics different compared to the same racket after it settles. IDK if the difference is significant enough to feel though

If for Yonex arcsaber 1 recommendation What tension and knots do you use exbolt 65
Been trying this string for a month now at 27 pounds , try this string because it will make you a god at badminton

Hi CK Yew, I am currently using Aerobite and watching this review made me wonder if I should give Exbolt 65 a go but before that I would just like to get your personal opinion when comparing Aerobite and Exbolt 65. Which string do you like more?
i'm sticking to Aerobite personally but you should give this one a try too!
I am begineer level. Been setup 26lbs this string with arcsaber 11 pro. I have difficulty and struggle to clear/return when play double. It seems i need alot of energy to do so. Is aerobite good replacement for me.?
If you are struggling with the length of your clears, I would recommend lowering the tension to give you more support. The aerobite at 26lbs is most likely going to make it even harder, not easier since it is less repulsive than the exbolt 65.
As a beginner, you should play at 22/23 lbs and go up with the tension when your technique gets better.
Maybe I should try this one. Using the exbolt 63 right now and with lower tension than yours the difference when misshit is still huge. If this is more forgiving I should try this one, no info yet on price here
Just a little bit more forgiving than the 63 from my experience
CK, how long do you recommend leaving your racket after stringing Exbolt 65?
24 hours?
Should intermediate players use exbolt 65 string?

Which string would be preferable exbolt 63 or 65 ?
And i lose tension within 2 weeks , what change should i do?
Just my opinion but the exbolt 65 is slightly more durable and the 63s have less but the 63s have slightly more power and the 65s slightly less. Both absolutely great strings and I found very small difference between the two but in terms of maximizing your power It'd be the 63 but slightly more expensive

Hi CK, I am currently using nanoflare 700 with aerobite 25lbs, thinking if i should switch to exbolt 63 with 25 or 26lbs, whats your opinion?
I watched the Yonex string review and both in that video and here much of the review is about the hitting sound. Why is it so important? does it actually have any benefit besides giving the player a good feel when they hear their own shots? (Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of a great timed smash/clear, but I never really considered it as a factor when picking my string, so I thought I might be missing something.)

Hi CK Yew ! Which string do you think is the best for astrox 99play :D
I have a little question : i got exbolt 65 but when i give my racket to restring it, they can’t string it because the string break. I don’t know why because i only put 26lbs wich is not too much. Is is my coil defective ? Or is there an other way to string with thé exbolt ? Ty
It sounds like they preweave the strings on your racket before mounting it onto the machine to just pull it. 😬😬 I think the string burn is causing the break.
I strung an Astro 88D with the Xbolt 65, 26 and 28 pounds. The guy said it broke on his first game, right above the sweet spot. Never had this issue before, I have done 50 to 75 rackets. 6 point machine. Never done exbolt before. No pre-weaving. I am baffled, just trying to figure out what is going on. Thank you.
i initially used the eb63 and didn't like it. Swapped it to the EB65 and it's definitely much nicer. Also got the EB65 on the Victor TKFe. But once they break I will move back to BG66UM. I find power and control much nicer on it.

How come that your exbolt 65 string can go up to 29lbs with 10% pre stretched without snapping because when I string my 77 pro with 29lbs using exbolt 65, the string snap in mid stringing procedure
Its probably because something is 'cutting' into the string. Check your grommets and replace worn ones. Make sure there's no cracks on your frame too. The string itself should hold upwards of 50+ lbs so it certainly shouldnt be breaking at 29 lbs.
Actually my racket is only been string once from the flagship store. I also string my racket with white exbolt 65 with 27lbs by 29lbs when I bought it. I'm confused because when the seller from the flagship string my racket, the exbolt 65 string doesn't snap and doesn't have any overstretched characteristics from the string. But when I replaced my racket with a new set of exbolt 65 after 2 weeks but in a local badminton stringing shop, they refuse to string my racket with my common set up which is 27lbs by 29lbs. But I force them to do my common set up but the string snap while in mid stringing procedure at the cross strings putting a tension of 29lbs
And also the flagship store of Yonex here in our area is more than 250km away from our house. The first thing that I blame is because they use an automatic stringer but I guess that's not the case because you also string your rackets with an automatic stringer. When I first stringed this racket, the flagship store only uses a mechanical stringer that's why I conclude that the automatic stringer is the reason but it's not. Second that I blame is the staff's I guess bad pulling of the strings maybe because they just pull the string in every grommet not gentle
😬😬 not pointing fingers but I think there might a problem with your local stringer.
@@CKYewI agree. I don't like him also when pulling my strings using a hooker thingy so maybe that's the reason. I know also how to string a racket but the problem is I don't have a stringer in our home
What is the difference if i were to just string this as a normal 26lbs compared to 27main and 25cross?
some companies recommend the cross being higher than the mains so when its strung the shape of the head will be maintained

I currently using li ning racket with bg 80 power and now im using astrox 77 with bg 66 ultimax since aerobite and exb 63 is soldout so will there be a huge difference changing from bg 80p to bg66 ultimax
Bought it yesterday for RM42 = USD9.33
Niceeee is RM42 expensive compared to other strings?
Hey CK Yew... I would love to try different string but shops in my area do not provide other than BG 65 or BG 65 TI 😔
Sorry to hear that, perhaps you can buy your strings online and get your stringer to string it for you?
Hi Ck can i kindly ask can you review more yonex bags i am finding to buy a new bag but there is no review.Thanks Ck love from Malaysia
Bags are extremely hard because the UK doesnt have most of the bags that are available in Malaysia 😬😬
Hi CK, I am switching to the exbolt 65, do you recommend me stringing it to 24lbs, 25lbs or 26lbs?
Go with your usual tension first, you can then decide to go up or down after trying it.
Today i got one of my dad’s old racket strung up with the exbolt 65 at 28lbs. This racket in particular is extremely head light to the point it feels like you’re hitting with an unstrung racket. So when i went for my first shot, the sound that the racket made was like a gunshot. Ive never heard such a sound before, it was literally like gunshot or firecrackers. Feel of the strings are a 9/10 for me, clears are pretty effortless even tho its a head light racket but it is a bit hard to hit overhead stuff cuz my racket feels so light. Smashes are great, just overall great response from the strings. So if anyone is thinking about trying out the exbolt 65 or 63, i would say go for 65 for a more all rounded feel. I used to string exbolt 63 and it feels more responsive than 65. Hope this was useful😂
Gunshot!!! Wowwwww 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂
May i ask which of these string has more all round sound ,for example: clears,smashes,drives,serves and drop has the same sound, bc CK said exbolt 63 has more benefits on clears and smashes and 65 has more on drives serves and drop
@@L_JW03 exbolt 63 will have more sound, control and power in general because of the thinner string compared to exbolt 65. But 65 will be more durable and friendly for beginner and intermediate players because thinner string requires more precision and quality shots
Hi ck, saya nak tanya, rekomendasi tension untuk pemain intermediet tension berapa? , sudi kiranya videonya diberi subtitel bahasa indo/melayu
Mula dari 24? Dan boleh naik atau turun tension Lepas tu 😊 good luck!
CK yew im stuck between getting the aerobite and exbolt 65 any advice?
Why not try both?
Hey would you recommend the bg65 or the exbolt63 ??
I personally would prefer the 63 over the BG65
@@CKYew okk 👍 just a quick question....are the bg65 considered to be a basic type of string ??
@@尺卂爪乇丂卄卩尺 yes bg65 is a beginner stribg for the most part its soft and thick so its good for learning how to hit the shuttle
@@same2799 👍👍
I wonder how the exbolt 65 will perform under 24 to 26 lbs tension range because I don't think i am ready for play at 28 lbs .
Any thoughts?
I think players can appreciate the Exbolt 65 and 63 more at higher tensions (the crisp and pingy feeling it gives) but you can try at 26 lbs for your own exploration. 🤷♂
Im using 63 with 25 lbs and for me it's good. Gonna try a little higher tho
for social players, can the racket be installed with vertical and horizontal tension using exbolt 65 and bg66 ultimax strings? 27lbs main 29 cross.
Of course you can! 👍
Currently using exbolt 63, if same 65 same price with 63, I will go for 65. but yet to launching. from Malaysia
Should be soon!
how durability Exbolt 65 after you played? how long will it last?
Its still not broken!!
@@CKYew and now still not broken?
