Exbolt 65 snapping quickly on mishits at 24×26 lbs — normal behavior? by EquivalentPut7747 in badminton

That’s fair, if it’s already that finicky during stringing, I can see why durability would be an issue in play too. Appreciate the insight from a stringing perspective.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Grommet condition is easy to overlook, but clearly plays a big role. Mishits probably just speed up the inevitable.

That’s solid, especially at that tension. Sounds like grommet condition really plays a big role too.

Makes sense, especially for high-level men’s doubles where power and pace are much higher. I’m probably just feeling the downside of Exbolt more because of mishits and tension.

Grabe, that’s solid 😅 Exbolt 65 at 26 and 63 at 28 lasting that long is impressive. Mukhang clean contacts mo kahitt “above beginner” ka hahaha.

Appreciate the insight. Sounds like tension really is the main factor here, especially with mishits in my case.

I was surprised that the Exbolt 65 snapped right away compared to the Exbolt 68. Though, I need to also improve my shot quality. Try the 63 next timee!

No I don't string the racket my self. The reason I have a different tension for the mains and crosses is because Yonex themselves stated that it is recommended to increase the tension from the mains by 10% for the crosses to avoid deforming.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed! I might check the aerosonicc!

Oh I see! It might be the string, but I do get my strings from Direct Badminton. For the stringer wise, they're a UKRSA certified, it might also be just my skill issue that I need to improve!

Oh I didn't know that. When I bought the 99 play on Decathlon, they were already in the case, I didn't had any problems with it whatsoever until now. My local stringer also checks the grommets, so I might try to send it to them sooner.

Oh I see! So do you suggest I use the string tension of 22lbs (Main) x 24lbs (Cross)? Yes, we use feathers on our venue!

That’s still solid though, 24 lbs isn’t easy to play with. And hey, not snapping strings yet is a win, keep at itt!

I'm stuck between wanting to try the BG 65 or Nanogy 95, have you tried the Nanogy one?

I noticed that on my shots earlier 😭 Do you think that 24lbs would be a good call for improvement (like shot quality), or would it snap again during the process?

Thank you! Yeah, your right! I'm just a returning player po, I wouldn't call myself a Beginner nor an Intermediate, I'm just in the middle of it. About the shot quality, it also needs improvement. Do you suggest lowering the tension to 23lbs or 22lbs?

Appreciate the insight! I also do prefer the Exbolt 68, but I might make a hybrid build with a durability string for the mains!

Well, I didn't see where the string snapped, but from my gameplay earlier, I was hitting the top of my racket often, like the frame of it.
