TECHNOLOGY

ISOMETRIC™ 

Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimising the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

LINER TECH

For improved power and comfort. Straight-hole grommets elongate the strings to optimise power and comfort on off-centre shots.

O.P.S (OVAL PRESSED SHAFT)

First introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 - Yonex's first aluminium tennis racquet - the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) is still incorporated into Yonex's most popular racquet series today. The Oval Pressed Shaft is designed to give players more spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimising vibrations.

VIBRATION DAMPENING MESH - VDM

First used in Yonex snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of Yonex's racquet series. VDM is a stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision.

2G-NAMD SPEED

Improved feel and ball speed. A high modulus graphite fibres are bound with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure, reducing energy loss, which enables to transfer of the energy into quick snapback. Namd is technology by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fibre composites.

AERO SHAPE DESIGN

For a plush feel. An inverted frame design with a thinner frame face results in a softer racquet.

SHAFT DESIGN

For improved stability and power. A thicker shaft structure with a convex design reduces unwanted racquet torque on off-centred shots for added power.
