Yonex EXBOLT 68 – powerful and durable performance string
The Yonex EXBOLT 68 is a modern badminton string for players who want to combine powerful shots, a stable impact response and excellent durability. Its 0.68 mm gauge is more robust than the thinner EXBOLT 63 and EXBOLT 65 while retaining a clearly performance-oriented character.
The oval-braided Forged Fiber outer structure supports a resistant surface and efficient power transfer. Its elastic outer coating also allows the string bed to react dynamically and accelerate the shuttle effectively on clears, drives and smashes.
Playing feel and characteristics
The EXBOLT 68 provides a medium-to-hard and particularly solid impact feel. It feels more stable and less delicate than ultra-thin strings without losing the lively response expected from a modern performance string.
Its main strengths are powerful smashes, deep clears and fast attacking strokes. At the same time, it provides enough control for dependable drives, defensive shots and accurate placement.
The 0.68 mm gauge also suits players who find the EXBOLT 63 or EXBOLT 65 too sensitive. It offers more security under frequent use and occasional off-centre contact while remaining more direct and dynamic than traditional 0.70 mm durability strings.

Who should choose the Yonex EXBOLT 68?
The EXBOLT 68 is suitable for ambitious recreational players, club players and competitive players who prefer a powerful and stable string bed. It works especially well for attacking all-round players and players who generate substantial pressure from the rear court.
Frequent players also benefit from its excellent durability. Players who enjoy the speed of the EXBOLT series but experience frequent breakage with thinner models will find the EXBOLT 68 a sensible alternative.
Players looking for an especially refined and extremely fast response may prefer the EXBOLT 63. Those seeking a balanced middle ground between speed, control and durability can choose the EXBOLT 65.
Our recommendation
We recommend the Yonex EXBOLT 68 to players who want to combine strong smash power, a stable response and excellent durability. Within the EXBOLT range, it is the most suitable option for powerful playing styles and players with higher string wear.
