@@Volantbadminton Instantly my entire game felt better. These are bloody lethal, just ordered the 63s now and going to try those out. I have never felt so strong on the court before
@@SappigeKiwi I played at 27 lbs at the time I made this comment. My primary string is Aerobite now at 24/26 lbs now but still use exbolt 65 at 26 or 27lbs every so often
Yonex was pretty late to the game with a 0.65mm string. Even when 66ultimax was release and turned into a dud and now known as a tournament string. We had many many brands already settled into this string gauge. Gtone5 , Kizuna z65, Li ning no 1 and zymax 65 are all top strings and each have some unique properties. It's good to see yonex tries to put their own spin into this realm.
I'm amazed by the durability of Exbolt 63. Much more durable than my previous string 66 Brilliant/ Ultimax. Exbolt 65 could be even more durable due to the thicker gauge
The Exbolt 63 is not very durable for me, I strung it on my 100 zz at 24 lbs and it broke after around 4 hours of playing, there are some miss hits here and there but 4 hours is still too little.
Hello Henry & Jeff, While reviewing the string please add one other section, is it suitable for nylon shuttle players. Since I have played with this string and I found it's extremely good string in all aspects as you told, being an long term Nanogy 99 user I felt it's more crispy and little more powerful than Nanogy 99. However with regards to the durability, it's not at all good. It broke on the third day after I strung it with (26 cross 28 lbs). My dealer told it's not suitable for Nylon shuttles before he gave to me, however I want to try it out. It might be suitable for feathers, but not sure why not even lost for more than three days for nylon shuttles (Mavis350/600), That too it broke in the mid of the sweet spot. Yes of course I felt more accuracy on the shots, where every I want to place, it exactly dropped on those places, but regards to durability it's not good and for the high premium price it's not worth. This string might be suitable for the International level players and it's not for everyone. Overall it's not value for money while comparing to Nanogy 99.
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 ?
@@AG-yh3kv great strings. No doubt 66U one of the best performance strings I've tried but the durability is just too low for me. If you're on a budget 66 U is just too expensive to use
just broke my exbolt 65 last night ... just a little under a month (playing twice a week). strung at only 25lbs with 20% prestretch. doesnt seem that much more durable than the exbolt63 tbh however, i do enjoy playing with it and it seems more durable than ultimax or aerobite... so i guess ill continue using the exbolt65 :)
I used the EB65 at 26lbs on my Yonex 88D Pro. You are right, if one is used to hard feel strings, this one may not be to their liking. I absolutely hated this one. I deliberately strung it at 26lbs (compared to my normal of 28lbs) as I didn’t want to break it soon, it lasted me 5-6 games over 2 weeks, didn’t break - I still replaced it with 66Ultimax. I liked the EB63 more than this. That being said, I am not going back to EB series at all. Sticking to my NG95 (quite a durable and an all rounder string) and 66Ultimax.
Depends on your personal taste i guess..just tried ax77 pro using exbolt 65 29 lbs it was so bouncing and really got me and compared to my racket using bg80 30 lbs it was fell so hard...it's like using a plywood...won't ever use a bg80 with high tension😅
Just played with these tonight. Absolutely incredible strings. Never experienced power and control like it before 😲
How good are they!? It's great!

I tried the exbolt 63 and I didn't get along well with it at all. Far too unforgiving. I'll stick to the 65s

@@H1euTr4n if they come out with Exbolt 70, it'll probably last you a year at 32lbs. Lol
@@upy0ur5 let's hope they can make that possible! As a student, 28 eur per stringing is really expensive...
@@H1euTr4n Damn that is expensive
@@sendoh7x Yah, they are the only place that strings rackets so they can charge whatever they like :/
If you were to choose between Exbolt63,Exbolt65 ,66Untimax for a heavy racket, which would you choose?
66 Ultimax
What string you rate 10/10 ? Or highest rating overall
Awesome video
Thanks!

Up
What’s the difference between repulsion and power in your measure?
Thanks. I knew you also use nanogy 98. I have both. I feel I like nanogy98 better. Which one you like better? Thx
Honestly really like both!!!
Also how is this string when used with low tension like 24-25 lb?
Exbolt 65 vs Ultimax vs Lining No 1
Which one is the best?
Exbolt 65
66 ultimax
Li Ning no 1
Ngl I didn't get along well with the li ning no 1 at all
Ultimax

Tried all, really like ultimax, exb65 is bit slippery to me.
No. 1 is ok with lower price as well
@@QBL-lf7jd what do you mean too slippery?? 🤔
I have used exbolt 65 and nonogy 95 and found nanogy 95 is best
bg66 ulti max or exbolt 65?
Exbolt 65 in my opinion!!
do you 10%pretstretch
How does it feel compared to the BG80?
We like it more because it isn't has hard feeling!
just broke my exbolt 65 last night ... just a little under a month (playing twice a week). strung at only 25lbs with 20% prestretch.
doesnt seem that much more durable than the exbolt63 tbh
however, i do enjoy playing with it and it seems more durable than ultimax or aerobite... so i guess ill continue using the exbolt65 :)
Maybe 20% pre stretch is too much though? It could shorten the durability you know
@@bubblebubble50 yeah ill try 15% on my next exbolt65
@@kyle618 Most players do 10% apparently tho
Mine last 3 months without stretch
All great replies from others - it also depends if you mishit it too!

Can you review aerosonic pls
which is more forgiving? ex 65 or 66Um
66UM
Can you review aerobite??
Good idea! See what we can do
Played with 65 only lasted 3 matches
Used EXB63 on a 77 Pro, it lasted a dozen of game (still not broken)
bg80 or exbolt 65?
Exbolt 65, any day of the week! But they're just our opinions :) we know people who love BG80 too!
