Ashaway Rogue Duo Hybrid is a hybrid badminton string setup designed to combine power and durability in the mains with control and shuttle grip in the crosses. It uses two different gauges to create a more specialised response than a conventional single-string setup.

The RD 68 mains are 0.68mm and are built for strength, power and durability, while the thinner RD 61 crosses are 0.61mm with a textured gripping surface to improve control, spin and precision. Both strings use Ashaway’s BETA Polymer ZyWeaVe™ core and braided BETA Polymer multifilaments, which are designed to improve repulsion, tension stability and overall string strength.

Gauge: 0.68mm mains / 0.61mm crosses
Feel: Crisp / controlled
Performance: Strong power from the mains with fast response from the thinner crosses
Control: Excellent the textured RD61 crosses help grip the shuttle for more precise shot making
Durability: Very good especially through the thicker RD68 mains
Tension stability: Excellent ZyWeaVe™ construction is designed to minimise tension loss
Best suited to: Intermediate to advanced players who want a hybrid setup combining power, durability and very strong control

Ashaway recommends installing the crosses around 5% lower in tension than the mains for optimum performance.
