TECHNOLOGY:
ISOMETRIC
SIGNATURE YONEX TECHNOLOGY SINCE 1980
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 optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.
ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.
2G-NAMD™ FLEX FORCE
Aggressive, attacking spin for pinpoint control is achieved through a carbon nanotube structure that binds the graphite fibers together, which reduces energy loss. Due to its resilient properties, the material flexes and provides quick snapback.
Namd™ is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.
SERVO FILTER
A transparent and elastic film placed between graphite layers helps bond the layers while maintaining its elastic characteristics even after the molding process. This unique film absorbs unwanted vibrations, provides fine-tuned flex and snapback to each shot,delivering precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand.
SERVO FILTER is a vibration-absorbing film developed by the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, which has high bonding properties with graphite and excels in both flexibility and durability
FLEXCON SYSTEM
MORE FLEXIBILITY
The tapered and elongated box frame allows the shaft to flex comfortably, extending the ball pocketing duration for more feel and control. The flexibility is enhanced by the "2G-Namd™ Flex Force," a highly elastic graphite that enables 15%* more flexibility on the racquet shaft.
STIFF RACQUET FACE DESIGN
FOR IMPROVED CONSISTENCY
The frame employs morew layers* of graphite to increase rigidity of the racquet face. 3% more stability on the racquet face, providing improved consistency in ball trajectory.
*Compared to previous controloriented
racquet models.
*Tested by Yonex
