Ashaway has manufactured racquet sport strings in Rhode Island since 1824 and is one of the only string makers in the United States. This 22-page 2025 catalog is the technical reference for the brand's full lineup across tennis, squash, racquetball, and badminton — including the Zyex-core families, Aramid hybrids, and BETA Polymer ZyWeave shuttle strings. Every product page lists gauges, diameters, and a four-bar performance chart for quick comparison.
The book is organized by sport, with each model getting its own spec sheet — packaging photo, gauge in mm, reel and set lengths, and bar-graph ratings for power, control, tension stability, and durability. Technology callouts explain how Zyex multifilament, BETA Polymer ZyWeave, MonoGut ZX, and braided Aramid each behave on contact. Sport-specific color coding (blue for tennis, yellow for squash, green for racquetball, red/orange for badminton) makes navigation simple. Action photography of professional athletes anchors the section openers.
For stringers and serious players, the 22-page format puts every Ashaway gauge side by side with the data you need to dial in a setup.
