Hundred 61 Warrior Badminton String

The Hundred 61 Warrior is an ultra-thin 0.61 mm badminton string built for attacking players who want maximum repulsion and a sharp, crisp hitting sound. At this gauge, the string bites the shuttle harder and snaps back faster, which is what produces steep smashes and quick flat drives with less effort.

Quick answer

A 0.61 mm multifilament repulsion string, 10 m set, for advanced attacking players. One of the thinnest gauges available, so it delivers exceptional power and feel, but like all micro-gauge strings it trades away some durability. Choose it if you value performance over string life.

Specifications

Who it's for

• Advanced and tournament players who build points around the smash.
• Players who want the sharpest possible feel and a loud, crisp hitting sound.
• Anyone happy to restring more often in exchange for maximum performance.

Who should skip it

• Frequent string-breakers and hard hitters who need string life. A thicker 0.66 to 0.68 mm string will last noticeably longer.
• Beginners and improving players, who get more from a mid-gauge string while technique develops.
• Anyone who wants to restring as rarely as possible.

How thin is 0.61 mm?

String gauge decides the balance between power and durability. Thinner strings cut through the air with less drag and grip the shuttle better, giving more repulsion and a sharper sound; thicker strings last longer. At 0.61 mm the 61 Warrior sits at the thin end of the scale, below common 0.65 to 0.66 mm strings, so expect more power and feel and a shorter string life than a standard set.

Stringing

Tension is a personal choice. Most players do well between 24 and 27 lbs on a thin string like this; going higher sharpens control but shortens string life further. Always check your racket's maximum tension before stringing. We string in-house and will advise on the right tension for your racket and playing style.

FAQ

What gauge is the Hundred 61 Warrior?
0.61 mm, one of the thinnest gauges available. Thinner strings give more repulsion and a crisper sound but wear out faster than thicker ones.

Is the 61 Warrior durable?
It is a performance string, not a durability string. Reinforced fibres help it hold tension better than most micro-gauge strings, but at 0.61 mm you should still expect to restring more often than with a 0.66 mm string.

What tension should I string it at?
Around 24 to 27 lbs suits most players. Check your racket's maximum tension first, and remember that higher tension on a thin string shortens its life.

Is the 61 Warrior good for beginners?
No. It is built for advanced attacking players. Beginners and improving players are better served by a mid-gauge string around 0.66 to 0.68 mm.
