The Yonex EXBOLT is a brand-new badminton string series. The first to the series is the EXBOLT 63 and is constructed from a proprietary new material called FORGED FIBER which is the first to combine durability, thin gauge, and quick repulsion all into one.

While thinner strings tend to have higher repulsion, there has always been the issue of low durability. FORGED FIBER was developed to solve this very issue. Ordinary nylon had a limit to the strength of its fibers, which is why Yonex reconstructed the fibers on a molecular level to build stronger bonds for lasting durability. This FORGED FIBER gave Yonex more freedom to construct thinner strings without compromising durability.

FORGED FIBER

FORGED FIBER is a new material developed from a fiber with high intermolecular bonding strength, durability, and heat resistance which is also used in the forging of aircraft tires. Impurities are removed during the manufacturing process, and by stretching the material many times longer than the original material, the strength of this FORGED FIBER is greatly increased.
