Introducing Ashaway's first badminton hybrid string.
Ashaway has introduced Rogue Duo® Hybrid, its first hybrid string set for badminton. Rogue Duo Hybrid combines two Ashaway Beta Polymer strings specifically formulated for use in hybrid sets. The mains are made of RD68, a black 0.68 mm string, designed to provide a durable string bed. The crosses are made of RD61, an orange 0.61 mm string with a textured, gripping surface for control and sharp spin. Beta Polymer string technology maximizes shuttle speed and generates excellent repulsion.

We currently use either Royal Mail 24 or DPD courier service depending on the size/value of package. We aim to despatch all orders the same day they are received (excluding pre-orders) although this may not always be possible for reasons such as stock availability or volume of orders being processed on any particular day. In general, if an order is placed by 4pm (Excludes Singer Bag orders. The cut-off for all Slinger orders is 1pm) on a normal business weekday, Framework Sports will despatch via Royal Mail or DPD on the same business day.
The United Kingdom officially left the EU on 31st January 2020 and the 11 month transitional period ended on 1st January 2021. There are important changes that our customers purchasing from an EU country (or further afield) need to consider.

Ashaway Racket Strings has introduced Rogue Duo® Hybrid, its first hybrid string set for badminton. Rogue Duo Hybrid combines two Ashaway Beta Polymer strings specifically formulated for use in hybrid sets. The mains are made of RD68, a black 0.68 mm string, designed to provide a durable string bed. The crosses are made of RD61, an orange 0.61 mm string with a textured gripping surface for control and sharp spin. Beta Polymer string technology maximizes shuttle speed and generates excellent repulsion.
"Hybrid stringing has been gaining popularity in badminton for several years now," said Ashaway's Steve Crandall, "with a great deal of trial and error as to which combinations or what strings work best for differing styles of play. Rogue Duo Hybrid provides a hybrid string pattern for top players designed to optimize precision shot making with maximum spin and control."
Ashaway's proprietary BETA polymer multifilament core technology provides 25% greater dynamic stiffness and elasticity than comparable strings, and its BETA polymer braided construction provides 25% better knot and shear strength. Best performance with hybrid stringing is achieved by maintaining a balanced tension ratio between mains and crosses. With Rogue Duo Hybrid sets, Ashaway recommends the crosses be installed at 5% less tension than the mains, or up to 30 lbs for the mains and 28 lbs for the crosses.
