Ashaway ZyMax 62 Fire – ultra-thin 200 m reel for maximum repulsion
The Ashaway ZyMax 62 Fire is an ultra-thin performance badminton string for players looking for maximum repulsion, extremely rapid shuttle acceleration and highly direct feedback. At only 0.62 mm, it is one of the thinnest strings in the Ashaway range.
The thin gauge creates a very fast string-bed response. The shuttle accelerates quickly on drives, clears and attacking strokes, while the impact point remains clearly noticeable. This makes the ZyMax 62 Fire particularly suitable for technically skilled players with fast or attacking playing styles.
The 200-metre reel is especially useful for clubs, competitive players, frequent players and professional stringing services. Depending on racket head size, stringing pattern and working method, one reel will generally provide approximately 20 complete badminton racket restringings.
Playing feel and characteristics
The ZyMax 62 Fire provides a firm, direct and extremely responsive playing feel. The shuttle leaves the string bed very quickly, supporting attacking clears, flat drives and rapid offensive strokes.
The BETA Polymer ZyWeaVe™ core is designed for high dynamic stiffness, strong repulsion and minimal tension loss. This helps the string bed remain predictable for longer and retain its lively character.
High-tenacity BETA Polymer monofilaments improve resistance for such a thin string. Nevertheless, the ZyMax 62 Fire remains significantly more sensitive to off-centre contact than thicker strings between 0.66 and 0.70 mm.
Its main benefits are therefore speed, repulsion and precise feedback. Maximum string life is not its primary focus, although the advanced material construction provides impressive strength for a 0.62 mm gauge.

Who should choose the Ashaway ZyMax 62 Fire?
The ZyMax 62 Fire is particularly suitable for advanced recreational players, club players and competitive players with sound technique. It suits fast doubles specialists, attacking all-round players and players who take the shuttle early and play at a high tempo.
Its strengths are especially noticeable on rapid drives, dynamic clears, accurate net shots and explosive attacking situations. Players who prefer a lively and immediately responsive string bed receive a highly performance-oriented setup.
The 200-metre reel is economical for clubs, coaches, tournament players and stringers who regularly use an ultra-thin performance string. The actual number of restringings depends on the racket and the amount of string used per job.
The ZyMax 62 Fire is less suitable for beginners, players with frequent frame hits or those with especially high string wear. In these cases, a thicker ZyMax 66 Fire Power or ZyMax 69 Fire provides greater security.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Ashaway ZyMax 62 Fire to players and stringers looking for maximum repulsion, extremely rapid shuttle acceleration and direct competition feedback. Within the ZyMax Fire range, it is the most focused choice for speed and immediate response.
