Ashaway Introduces ZyMax® 68 TX Badminton String with
Textured Surface Coating
-- BETA polymer multifilament core increases dynamic stiffness and elasticity by 25%
-- BETA polymer braided construction increases knot and shear strength by 25%
-- ZyWeaVe™ core technology prevents tension loss
Ashaway, RI – Ashaway Racket Strings has introduced ZyMax® 68 TX, a new badminton string
with a proprietary textured surface coating to enhance feel and control of the shuttle. Like its Zy-
Max Fire siblings, ZyMax 68 TX utilizes Ashaway's proprietary BETA polymer fibers and is con-
structed using the company's special ZyWeaVe™ string core technology. The new string offers
sensational elasticity and dynamic stiffness for maximum shuttle speed and explosive repulsion,
as well as optimum power and durability, incredible knot and shear strength, and exceptional ten-
sion holding ability for consistent, reliable performance.
“Progress in string R&D is often incremental, but occasionally the result is greater than the sum
of its parts,” said Ashaway Vice President Steve Crandall. “With our Beta polymer, ZyWeaVe core
technology and now a new textured surface coating, our ZyMax 68 TX offers players truly out-
standing performance and durability.
ZyMax 68 TX is geared for professional players and advanced amateurs, as well as players desir-
ing the durability of a heavier gauge string along with better feel and control. The string's BETA
polymer multifilament core provides 25% better stiffness and elasticity than comparable strings,
and its BETA polymer braided construction provides 25% better knot and shear strength. In ad-
dition, Ashaway's trademarked ZyWeaVe technology generates a string core that is stronger and
holds tension better than traditional badminton strings. This allows for thinner, more playable
strings that perform consistently at higher tensions throughout the life of the string.
White, orange or optic yellow in color, ZyMax 68 TX is 0.68 mm thick (21 gauge) and is available in
10 meter (33 ft) sets and 200-meter (660 ft) reels. Recommended stringing tension is up to 40 lbs.
