ASTROX 100 VA ZZ or 100 VA TOUR? 🏸
The ZZ delivers a firmer, faster and more direct response, with a higher performance ceiling for players who can consistently generate high swing speed.
The TOUR keeps the same attacking character but is easier to flex, more forgiving and less demanding over long sessions—making it a more practical choice for many intermediate and advanced amateur players.
ZZ: higher ceiling, higher demand.
TOUR: easier power, greater forgiveness.

Choosing the right badminton string can make a big difference to your feel, power, control, and durability. The YONEX EXBOLT series offers three excellent options for different playing styles: EXBOLT 63, EXBOLT 65, and EXBOLT 68.
EXBOLT 63 | Lavender
A thin-gauge string designed for quick repulsion and a crisp, high-pitched hitting sound. At 0.63mm, it is ideal for players who enjoy fast response, quick drives, and sharp shuttle release.
Recommended for: players who prioritise speed, fast rallies, and lively repulsion.
EXBOLT 65 | Green
The most balanced option in the EXBOLT range. With a 0.65mm gauge, it offers a strong combination of repulsion, control, and hitting feel, making it a reliable choice for many all-round players.
Recommended for: players who want a balanced string with speed, control, and versatility.
EXBOLT 68 | Flash Orange
A thicker and more durable option at 0.68mm, built for players who want a more solid string bed, stronger smash feel, and improved durability. It is especially suitable for hard hitters or players who prefer a more stable response.
Recommended for: power players, frequent string breakers, and players who want stronger durability.
Simple comparison:
EXBOLT 63 = fastest response and sharpest feel
EXBOLT 65 = best balance of speed, control, and feel
EXBOLT 68 = strongest power feel and durability
