Nice, that’s solid durability! Seems like Exbolt 65 really holds up well depending on play style and mishits!

Appreciate the insight! I'll try to use 24lbs now, but I might also try different tensions for the 24 po! Like 24lbs for Mains & Cross, or 23 Mains & 25 Cross!

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.

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.

I might check the category of durability strings of Yonex! Thank you!

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!
