Hundred Hybrid Warrior Badminton String

Hundred Hybrid Warrior Badminton String

The Hundred Hybrid Warrior is a hybrid-gauge badminton string built for players who want repulsion power without giving up string life. The mains run at 0.68mm for stability and durability, while the thinner 0.61mm cross strings flex more on impact to add snap to your smashes and clears. One set of strings a single racket and gives you 11 metres (36 feet) of usable length.

Hundred uses its 3D KNIT Technology in the filament construction, which holds tension better than standard multifilament strings during long sessions. A Compound Elastic Resin Coating sits on top to protect the surface from string-on-string sawing, the main reason hybrid strings break early.

What Makes It a Hybrid

Standard badminton strings use the same gauge across the whole string bed. A hybrid setup splits the job: thicker mains take the brunt of repeated impact, and thinner crosses do the work of returning energy back into the shuttle. The Hybrid Warrior arrives pre-paired in a single set, so you don't need to buy two separate strings or ask your stringer to mix gauges.

Key Features

• Hybrid 0.68 × 0.61mm gauge — durability of a thick string, repulsion of a thin one
• 3D KNIT filament core — better tension hold across a full match
• Compound Elastic Resin Coating — reduces string-on-string wear at the cross points
• Crisp hitting sound — clean feedback on smashes and net taps
• 11m single-racket pack — no waste, no leftover string

Who Should Use It

The Hybrid Warrior is a good pick if you're an intermediate or advanced player who hits hard, breaks 0.65mm strings too quickly, but doesn't want to drop down to a heavier 0.70mm string and lose the snap on overhead clears. Recreational players who string at lower tensions (under 22 lbs) will get more out of a uniform multifilament — the hybrid design rewards firmer string beds.

Stringing Tip

For hybrid strings, most stringers recommend tying off the mains 1–2 lbs higher than the crosses to keep the string bed feeling balanced. Talk to your stringer before installation — they'll know how to handle a two-gauge setup on your specific racket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gauge of the Hundred Hybrid Warrior string?

The Hybrid Warrior uses a 0.68mm main string paired with a 0.61mm cross string. This split-gauge design is what makes it a hybrid.

How long is one set of Hundred Hybrid Warrior?

One set is 11 metres (36 feet) — enough to string a single badminton racket with no leftover.

What tension should I string the Hybrid Warrior at?

22–28 lbs works for most players. Power players who can generate their own racket head speed often go 24–28 lbs; control players sit closer to 22–24 lbs. Stay within your racket's manufacturer-stated maximum.

Is the Hundred Hybrid Warrior good for smashing?

Yes. The thinner 0.61mm crosses flex more on contact, which adds repulsion power to smashes, while the 0.68mm mains keep the string bed stable enough to handle hard hits.

How does it compare to a standard 0.65mm string?

A uniform 0.65mm string gives you slightly more repulsion across the entire bed but breaks faster, especially at higher tensions. The Hybrid Warrior trades a small amount of repulsion for noticeably longer string life.

Is this string suitable for beginners?

It works, but most beginners are better served by a thicker uniform string like 0.70mm. Beginners string at lower tensions (20–22 lbs) where the hybrid advantage is harder to feel, and they break strings less from off-centre hits than from age.

Does Hundred Hybrid Warrior come pre-strung?

No. This is a string set only. You'll need to take it to a stringer along with your racket. SportsUncle does not currently offer in-house stringing.

Is the Hundred Hybrid Warrior available in different colours?

Stock colours vary. Check the colour selector above for what's currently available. The string performance is identical across colour variants — only the dye differs.
