Technologies

• ENHANCED SWEET SPOT WITH ISOMETRIC: ISOMETRIC is a signature Yonex technology that has been at the forefront of racquet innovation since 1980. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC design increases the sweet spot by 7%*, providing players with a more forgiving hitting area. Unlike conventional round frames, the square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet optimizes the intersection of the main and cross strings, allowing for more consistent ball contact. This advanced design not only enhances accuracy but also delivers greater control without compromising power. By maximizing the effective hitting area, ISOMETRIC technology enables players to execute precise shots with confidence, making it ideal for both aggressive baseline play and all-court performance.

• PRECISION SPIN WITH 2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE: 2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE combines advanced materials and innovative engineering to deliver aggressive, attacking spin with precise control. The carbon nanotube structure binds graphite fibers together, minimizing energy loss and allowing for maximum power transfer. Its resilient properties enable the frame to flex naturally while providing rapid snapback, enhancing spin generation and shot accuracy. Developed by Nitta Co., Ltd., Namd technology ensures the uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes within carbon fiber composites. This precise integration strengthens the racquet structure, improving responsiveness and durability while maintaining a lightweight, maneuverable feel. The result is a racquet that offers superior performance for players seeking both control and explosive spin.

• VIBRATION CONTROL WITH SERVO FILTER: SERVO FILTER features a transparent and elastic film placed between graphite layers, enhancing the bond while retaining its flexibility even after the molding process. This innovative film effectively absorbs unwanted vibrations, providing controlled flex and rapid snapback for every shot. As a result, players experience precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand, improving shot accuracy and feel. Developed by the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, SERVO FILTER is a vibration-absorbing film with exceptional bonding properties to graphite. Its combination of flexibility and durability ensures long-lasting performance, making it an ideal technology for players seeking enhanced control, comfort, and responsiveness in every stroke.

• ENHANCED CONTROL WITH FLEXCON SYSTEM: The tapered and elongated box frame of the FLEXCON System allows the shaft to flex naturally, extending the ball pocketing time and providing enhanced feel and control on every shot. This design ensures that players can execute precise strokes with greater consistency, improving overall performance on the court. Flexibility is further amplified by the integration of 2G-Namd™ Flex Force, a highly elastic graphite material that increases shaft flexibility by 15%*. This advanced material works in synergy with the frame design, delivering a responsive yet stable racquet that maximizes control, comfort, and shot precision for intermediate and advanced players.

• ENHANCED STABILITY WITH STIFF RACQUET FACE: The racquet frame incorporates additional layers* of graphite to enhance the rigidity of the racquet face. This increased stiffness improves stability during ball contact, ensuring a more reliable and consistent response on each shot. With 3% greater stability compared to previous control-oriented racquet models, the design helps maintain precise ball trajectory and shot accuracy. Players benefit from improved consistency, allowing for confident, controlled play across a variety of strokes. *Compared to previous control-oriented racquet models.
