YONEX AEROBITE - 0,67 / 0,61 mm in the test

YONEX has been supplying the international tournament world in badminton with its strings for years. The YONEX BG 80 has become the most popular badminton string among professionals. But there have also been some innovations in recent years such as the super-thin Aerosonic (0.61 mm) or the aerobite hybrid stringing for badminton rackets.
We took a closer look at how these developments compare to the top strings that have been tried and tested over the years.

YONEX AEROBITE - 0,67 / 0,61 mm rating: 1 2 3 4 5   Average
1. The string conveys a good feel for the stroke (touch/feedback) - - 1 3 1   4
2. The string has good elasticity and damping properties - 1 - 2 2   4
3. The string retains its elasticity (trampoline effect) for a very long time - - 1 2 2   4,2
4. The string supports a good length on Clears - - - 3 2   4,4
5. The string supports my underhand play (e.g. in defense) - - - 4 1   4,2
6. The string provides good control during short game (e.g. cut or short crossball at net) - - - 3 2   4,4
7. The string offers a rich, controlled power transmission in hard smashes. - - - 3 2   4,4
8. The string impresses with a good "sound” - - 2 2 1   3,8

Rating: The YONEX AEROBITE 0.67 / 0.61 mm has been the pioneer in hybrid stringing sets since 2016. What has been common practice in tennis for years has now been successfully brought to the badminton market by YONEX: two different strings are pulled lengthwise and crosswise onto the racket. In badminton, the main aim is to get the badminton into a spin more effectively during the short, cut shots at net.

The coloured longitudinal string of the AEROBITE is a 0.67 mm thick coated PU string with a very high coefficient of friction. The very thin (0.61 mm) cross string is the ultra-thin AEROSONIC string described above in the test. In our testers, this string combination also impressed with very good values for the length of Clears and the controlled power transmission of hard Smashes. All other evaluations speak for themselves and prove that the first hybrid stringing in badminton is an absolute hit. This is also known among the top players in the world. Currently, YONEX AEROBITE is played, for example, by Kento Momota, Carolina Marin, Lin Dan, Mark Lamsfuss and Viktor Axelsen.
