This week we have been getting a lot of email communication from badminton customers and players around the world about a badminton string diameter comparison recently posted on The Badminton Central web forum. Please go to the following link to see this comparison:

We thought you would find this interesting as it points out something that Ashaway has known for a long time - Yonex' strings are much thicker than what is stated on the package (and much thicker than Ashaway's comparable strings).

We thought you would find this interesting as it points out something that Ashaway has known for a long time - Yonex' strings are much thicker than what is stated on the package (and much thicker than Ashaway's comparable strings).
The result is that Yonex' strings are perceived by players as being more durable, less prone to string movement in the racket and better at holding tension when compared to Ashaway's string with the same label gauge.
In reality, it is not a fair comparison as thinner strings (while playing with better feel and resilience) generally slide back and forth more in the frame and break more frequently (easily) on off center hits.
I hope this diameter data from an independent source will help improve your understanding of the different badminton string products in the market and their diameter/performance characteristics.
