About this product
Boost Hybrid Badminton String – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
The Aerobite Boost is a hybrid string set, which means the mains and the crosses are two different strings rather than one string threaded both ways.
The reason to do that is spin. To slice a shuttle – for a cross-court net shot, a sliced drop, a deceptive reverse slice – the string has to grip the shuttle skirt for an instant while the racket face moves across it. A thin string digs into the skirt and grips; a thick one slides. So you want thin crosses, because it is the crosses the shuttle meets first on most slicing shots.
The problem with thin string is that it destroys itself. Mains and crosses saw against each other at every crossing, and a 0.61 mm string threaded both ways is gone in weeks. The hybrid answer is to put the thin string only where it does its work and use a thick, tough string for the mains it rubs against. Here the mains are 0.72 mm and reinforced with Vectran, a high-tenacity fibre that holds tension and resists abrasion.
The result is a string bed that grips like a thin string and lasts like a thick one. It suits players who play a deceptive, slicing game – drops, cross-court net shots, sliced clears – rather than pure power hitters, who will be better served by a straightforward thick string like the Exbolt 68.
Tell your stringer it is a hybrid set. The mains and crosses are different lengths and must not be swapped – 5.5 m for the mains and 5.0 m for the crosses, and putting them in the wrong way round wastes the set.
