Ashaway ZyMax 68 TX – control-oriented 200 m reel with textured surface
The Ashaway ZyMax 68 TX is a control-oriented badminton string for players and stringers who want to combine direct feedback, accurate placement and excellent durability. Its 0.68 mm gauge provides more stability and security than particularly thin competition strings.
The textured TX coating creates a grippier surface and a firm, clearly defined response. This supports accurate placement, sliced drops, controlled net shots and versatile all-round play.
The 200-metre reel is particularly suitable for clubs, frequent players, coaches and professional stringing services. 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 68 TX provides a medium-to-hard and stable impact response. Shuttle contact is clearly noticeable, allowing technically skilled players to control their strokes accurately and influence the shuttle trajectory with confidence.
The textured surface provides additional grip at impact. This is particularly useful for drops, stop shots, sliced strokes and tight net exchanges. At the same time, the string remains sufficiently dynamic for deep clears, quick drives and powerful attacking strokes.
The BETA Polymer ZyWeaVe™ core is designed to minimise tension loss and maintain dynamic stability. This helps the string bed remain predictable for longer and retain its direct response.
At 0.68 mm, the string provides excellent durability without completely sacrificing repulsion and shuttle feel. It is more robust than the ZyMax 64 TX, although its response is slightly less refined and explosive.

Who should choose the Ashaway ZyMax 68 TX?
The ZyMax 68 TX is particularly suitable for advanced recreational players, club players and competitive players who value control, tension stability and direct feedback. It works well for technical and all-round players who place their shots deliberately and prefer a predictable string bed.
The string performs especially well in precise net play, sliced drops, controlled clears and quick drives. Attacking players also benefit from its stable response, provided maximum repulsion is not the main priority.
The reel is also economical for clubs, coaches and stringing services. Anyone regularly stringing rackets with a durable and tension-stable control string receives a reliable option with attractive costs per restring.
Players looking for an even finer and faster response may prefer the ZyMax 64 TX. For players who break strings more frequently or want greater stability, the ZyMax 68 TX is the more sensible choice.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Ashaway ZyMax 68 TX to players and stringers looking for a highly durable control string with a textured surface, minimal tension loss and precise feedback. It is especially suitable for all-round, technical and net players who prefer a stable string bed.
