Ashaway ZyMax 64 TX – thin control string on a 200 m reel
The Ashaway ZyMax 64 TX is a thin performance badminton string for players and stringers who want to combine excellent repulsion with a direct and controlled response. Its 0.64 mm gauge creates a fast string-bed reaction and supports rapid shuttle acceleration.
The proprietary TX coating produces a textured surface. This gives the string a grippier and firmer response than a similarly thin smooth power string and supports accurate placement, sliced drops and controlled net shots.
The 200-metre reel is particularly suitable for clubs, tournament players, stringing services and frequent players. Depending on racket head size, stringing pattern and working method, it will generally provide approximately 20 complete badminton racket restringings.
Playing feel and characteristics
The ZyMax 64 TX provides a firm, direct and highly responsive playing feel. Shuttle contact is clearly noticeable, allowing technically skilled players to control their strokes accurately and switch quickly between attack, defence and net play.
The BETA Polymer ZyWeaVe™ core provides high dynamic stiffness and minimal tension loss. This helps the string bed remain predictable for longer and retain its direct response.
The textured coating increases surface stiffness and improves control. This particularly benefits players who want to guide the shuttle accurately on drops, sliced strokes and short placements.
At 0.64 mm, the ZyMax 64 TX belongs to the thin competition and performance-string category. It offers good durability for its gauge but remains more sensitive to frequent off-centre contact than thicker 0.68 or 0.70 mm strings.

Who should choose the Ashaway ZyMax 64 TX?
The ZyMax 64 TX is particularly suitable for advanced recreational players, club players and competitive players with sound technique. It suits players who prefer a fast string bed with clearly defined feedback and excellent control.
Its strengths are especially noticeable on fast drives, accurate net shots, sliced drops and powerful attacking strokes. Its excellent repulsion makes it suitable for attacking players as well as fast all-round and doubles specialists.
The 200-metre reel is also economical for coaches, clubs, tournament players and professional stringers. Anyone regularly stringing several rackets with a thin control string receives a strong combination of performance and cost per restring.
Players with frequent off-centre contact or especially high string wear should consider the more durable ZyMax 68 TX. It offers greater resistance, although its response is slightly less refined and fast.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Ashaway ZyMax 64 TX to players and stringers looking for a thin performance string with excellent control, rapid repulsion and outstanding tension stability. Its textured surface makes it particularly suitable for technically skilled players who prefer a firm and precise string bed.
