ZyWeaVeTM technology allows Ashaway to produce a string that is 25% lighter than standard 0.70mm badminton strings.
Ashaway Racket Strings has introduced the first string of its highly anticipated ZyMax® line of badminton strings. ZyMax 70 makes maximum use of Ashaway's patented new ZyWeaVe™ core processing technology which produces thinner, stronger strings. According to Ashaway, ZyMax 70 is the strongest 0.70 mm string ever made. Designed to provide durability and responsiveness at all stringing tensions, ZyMax 70 is ideal for heavy hitters who want a micro-gauge string but need to maximize durability.
In 2009, Wilson added the Power Kick technology to their 2 top of the line badminton rackets. Using the revolutionary Power [K]ick™, the shaft of the racket is extended throughout the entire handle. Usually, the shaft comes only 1/3 in length of the handle. This extension due to Power Kick™ lowers the kick point and results in increased overall flexibility and more torsional stability which increases control and power at the same time.
