11/11/05 - Ashaway Racket Strings has introduced its new Racket Strings Catalog, highlighting their comprehensive line of over 40 different strings for tennis, badminton, squash and racquetball. The catalog also introduces Ashaway's new Power Filament Technology, or PFT(tm), for Badminton, a proprietary design that creates a unique filament surface layer to reduce string movement and increase durability.
"PFT is a significant advance in string technology for badminton that will allow players to push their game to the limit," said Steve Crandall, Ashaway's VP of Marketing. "PFT incorporates a proprietary power filament in the jacket of the string which increases shuttle control and playability, and optimizes power. And because the mains and crosses 'lock in,' PFT provides much better stability at high tension and significantly increases string durability."
Also back in this year's Ashaway catalog are their 'At A Glance' string charts which provide players and stringers with an easy and convenient way to compare their favorite Ashaway strings using a number of different characteristics. The charts incorporate basics like string gauge, construction and color, along with playability and durability ratings, and special features and recommendations for maximum usability.
More detailed string descriptions in the catalog include cross-section diagrams of string construction and all the information needed to choose the correct string for all styles of play, at every competition level.
Familiar faces are also found on the pages of the Ashaway catalog, which showcases sponsored players including Squash's Peter Nicol, Racquetball's Jack Huczek, and Badminton's Gail Emms and Nathan Robertson.
Among the top-rated competition and performance strings in the catalog are Ashaway's popular MonoGut(r) and Crossfire(r) tennis lines, MicroLegend(r) and Rally(r) badminton lines, PowerNick(r) and SuperNick(r) squash lines, and SuperKill(r) racquetball line. Strings are available for each sport in a variety of materials, constructions and gauges, offering multiple levels of durability and playability.
