Abroz DG68 Pro & Abroz DG 67 Power Badminton Strings (29/4/25)
Further to my previous post regarding lesser known badminton string brands, I am trying to see if I can get an arrangement with Abroz as they have two badminton strings that I think are quite interesting. The main one I think would be the Abroz DG67 Power string which I have heard great things about and apparently in testing it performs exceptionally well even when compared to top strings like Li-Ning No1 and Yonex Aerobite and the test results seem to be very good for power, durability, hitting sound and control which is quite amazing for what is almost an unknown string manufacturer here. If I can get a deal with Abroz (they sounded interested) it would be good. So far they have let me purchase a few sets of string at a discount to offset the cost of postage from Malaysia. So although the postal charges mean they wouldn’t be any cheaper overall from other strings, my customers would get the opportunity to try a string that pretty much nobody else here has access to. A restring in Abroz DG68 Pro (dark grey colour) is going to be £18 (so the same price as my most popular strings like Yonex BG65Ti and Ashaway Zymax 68TX) and in Abroz DG 67 power (yellow) £17 (so even cheaper!). I only have 5 sets of each string so it’s a case of first come first served until stocks last.
New Badminton Strings (24/3/25)
Over the years I have temporarily stocked many different brands of badminton string but often people are reluctant to try new brands other than those they already use such as Yonex, Ashaway and Li-Ning. Regular visitors to my website will know that I have stocked strings by Victor, Babolat, Karakal, Luxilon, Gosen and Apacs amongst others. I'm not sure why there is such a reluctance to try any of these strings but I am considering trialing a few other brands such as Abroz, JNice and Kizuna. I am also considering stocking a few packs of Gosen G-Tone 5 and G-Tone 9 strings. All of the strings that I stock are highly rated, however there is little point in me ordering string and stocking it if no one is prepared to give it a try. The purpose of this post is to see if anyone would like to try strings by lesser known manufacturers. I'm sure that the issue is that the names are so unfamiliar to even regular badminton players that there is a perception that the strings are not of high quality. For example JNice is a Taiwanese badminton equipment manufacturer making racquets and strings and of course they are well known in Taiwan but virtually unheard of here in the UK. The quality of the strings are comparable with the makes we know well but some are much cheaper so would make a sensible option for those on a budget. I would love to hear the thoughts of badminton players who are looking for a cost-effective way of restringing their racquets. I should be very grateful if you would let me know whether you would consider trialing strings from any of these manufacturers. Thanks.

Yonex BG65Ti Badminton String Prices (9/2/25)
Please note the difference in price between Yonex BG65Ti White badminton string and the various colours (black, red, blue, pink) is that I buy the white string on a reel which is more cost effective, whereas the colours are bought in individual packs which make the colours more expensive for me to buy so colours are £19 whereas white is £18. I only make on average £12 from stringing a racquet (irrespective of who supplied the string, you or me) as that represents the labour charge. I do not really make a profit on the sale of string, grips or grommet sets apart from a very small amount (pence!) to cover the labour time spent fitting grips and squash grommet sets.
