How about the control part? Slice shot, does it bite the shuttle enough?I was able to tryout exbolt 65 on my 88D pro @27lbs and not impressed at all.
It's doesn't have that insane repulsion that exbolt 63 gives at the same tension and it feels too soft.
If you like the feedbac from string then this is not the one. I would pick 63 anyday.
Although Yonex said it has elastic outer for bite I didn't feel it that much (compared to nanogy 99, ABB). Tumbling net shots are a bit tricky.How about the control part? Slice shot, does it bite the shuttle enough?

For others asking if this has more bite and slice, the answer is yes. Plenty strong in the repulsion area IMO (but of course second to the 63).
Nah.... It didnt bite much if you compare ro BG80. BG80 are best for control, BG66UM are ok, Exbolt65 even less bite.Thanks for the review. How do you find the bite/slice as compared to the bg80?
I would say less. BG80 has got that rough Vectran outer. But definitely more then 63 which felt nonexistent. The slice/bite on 65 is usable IMOThanks for the review. How do you find the bite/slice as compared to the bg80?
I got to use this string for about a month before I broke it on two of my racquets. I normally used BG80 before, as I liked the harder feeling and the considerable bite.
Fell in love with exb 65 pretty much immediately. Repulsion is incredible, less than 63 but I preferred the feeling of 65 much more. It was easier to slice with it than 63, but not as well compared to BG 80. It does however feel much more effortless than BG 80 so that was a plus for me. Pushes with this string were very lovely.
I prefer harder feeling strings, but BG 80 is a bit too much, and abbt is much too mushy thanks to the aerosonic crosses. This one has seemed to be about right. It was around the same as 63 based on my experience with that string.
Don't know what to think about the durability as I broke them considerably faster than usual, but definitely more durable than BG 80. More forgiving too on mishits. I guess for most people one month is a good length but stringing where I live is expensive so my preference is for around two months, despite the feeling to have become considerably worse after a month. I will be stringing my racquets with exb 65 again and hope for them to last a while longer. But as long as the durability isn't like that of bg 80, I will continue to use this wonderful string
Yeah durability is the best part here for repulsion string.I got to use this string for about a month before I broke it on two of my racquets. I normally used BG80 before, as I liked the harder feeling and the considerable bite.
