TECHNOLOGIES 🧪 Front-court precision engineering
STRINGS 🧵 Recommended Strings
Yonex AEROBITE BOOST Vectran mains lock in smash power while PU-coated crosses grip the shuttle feathers for heavy spin. Sharpens net kills and deceptive slices, and adds authoritative punch to drives and cross-court attacks.
Yonex BG66 Ultimax Thin 0.65mm gauge bounces the shuttle off instantly for a lively, energetic response. Adds pace and crispness to drives and flat exchanges, and keeps net kills sharp and fast across a full match.
Yonex EXBOLT 63 Ultra-thin 0.63mm gauge minimizes contact time on the string bed for the fastest possible shuttle exit. Wins tape exchanges and front-court net kills where a split-second advantage decides the rally.
