VOLTRIC TECHNOLOGY

ADDED POWER

Traditionally, extra weight at the top of the racquet frame has increased hitting power but reduced the speed of racquet handling. In contrast, a lighter top to the frame increases speed but causes a loss of hitting power.

For the first time, the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racquet which achieves the combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling.

The stiff racquet structure at the top of the frame allows the head to bend in a very controlled way and hold shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin frame sides then allow the frame to fl ex more and transfer more energy to the shuttle. This combination allows you to smash with instant power.

VOLTRIC IS POWER VOLTRIC IS AGILITYIn VOLTRIC, the weight is balanced on the top of the frame and at the joint area which allows good handling while also maintaining power. The thin frame at top and side of the head reduces air resistance and improves the handling even further. Players can now make a full swing even during short range rallies as VOLTRIC responds instantly to even subtle movements.

Do you want the choice of winning the point with one shot or dominating long rallies?

Use destructive force to beat your opponent quickly or grind them down over time.

Experience power like never before. Select VOLTRIC.


VOLTRIC TECHNOLOGY

VOLTRIC Z-FORCE CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY FORAWESOME STRIKING POWER

The ultra-thin, yet stiff shaft and ultra-aerodynamic head shape allow the shuttle to be hit with increased power, reducing the deceleration of the shuttle and allowing it to be returned with sustained, ultimate power.

Tungsten infused grommets maximize the contact time between shuttle and string. This combined with the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM ensure that the frame fl exes in a controlled way, holding the shuttle on the string bed for longer for maximum transfer of power to the shuttle.

NANORAY TECHNOLOGY


NANORAY’s revolutionary frame design delivers a smooth swing and dynamic repulsion.

The NANORAY frame is designed to offer two benefi ts, the aerodynamic upper frame reduces air resistance for high speed shot making, whilst the lower frame’s high level strength helps give you a greater level of repulsion power. This combination gives you a high speed swing speed together with the ability to absorb shock on impact for greater repulsion. The NANORAY frame, designed for the lightning fast shot making even with a compact swing during the high speed rallies.

MORE SPEEDDoes your opponent put you on the back foot?

Use rapid racquet handling to counter and dominate the court to take revenge.

Dynamic speed is here. Select NANORAY.

Incorporating X-Fullerene into the whole shaft strengthens the binding force, increasing stiffness by 6% and repulsion power by 4%. This combination delivers high repulsion performance to hit deep into the opponent’s court, even with a compact swing during high-speed rallies. Lightning fast shot-making with high repulsion is generated by near-instant ‘snap back’ from the shaft during the swing.

Shaft equipped with X-FULLERENE creates even greater repulsion power.

NANORAY RACQUETS

NR-ZSP ARC-ZS

SBZ (SNAP BACK ZONE)The unique frame design of the NANORAY Z-SPEED means thatthe frame is thinner at the midway point at either side of the racquet head. At this point, EX-HMG – the most elastic and powerful material ever – is used within the frame, allowing it to fl ex on impact and repel the shuttle with explosive acceleration and devastating power.

SONIC METAL is an extremely stiff material positioned in the lower part of the frame to maximize the snap back effect, increase repulsion power and produce a crisp hitting sound when the shuttlecock is hit.

Swing Speed Erhöhung um 10%Every element of this racquet has been designed to increase swing speed. A new frame cross section and ULTRA SLIM LONG SHAFT, together with cutting edge materials NANOMETRIC* and X-FULLERENE, make the NANORAY Z-SPEED the most aerodynamic racquet that YONEX has ever produced.

*NANOMETRIC is the new material which applies the NANOALLOYTM Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.

YONEX has designed a new grommet pattern called the HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT that has helped us create the smallest frame in our history. The pattern anchors 4 strings horizontally to allow greater fl ex in the string bed and to create an enlarged sweet spot at the top of the frame. So even off-centre shots can be powerful.

ARC-ZSNR-ZSP HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT enlarges the sweet area and the explosive accelerating power from SBZ boosts the shuttle.

This molecular level science is based on extraordinarily small scale advancements in material construction that is invisible to the eye. YONEX are committed to technological developments that together make an big impact on your game.

‘NANOMESH + CARBON NANOTUBE’ is an exclusive structural material inserted into the frame and/or shaft of the NANORAY series. It signifi cantly increases repulsion power, toughness and impact strength within the racquet. By combining Carbon Nanotube with a resin, the two molecules create a mesh-like construction which delivers a head-light racquet, sharper drive shots, improved strength and faster handling.

NANOMESH + CARBON NANOTUBE

Impact Strength Elastic Modulus Flexural Toughness

ISOMETRIC technology was invented by YONEX to maximise the vital sweet spot area and is now a world leading feature of our racquets. The square shaped head of the racquet means that there are more strings crossing at right angles, resulting in a bigger sweet spot. YONEX continues to develop and enhance ISOMETRIC power, reducing still further the ‘inert’ space around the edge of conventional racquets, creating a far bigger sweet spot than other frames.

Sound Filter uses new materials at the two and ten o’clock positions to reduce only high pitched and dull soundwaves. This produces a louder and sharper sound on impact to unsettle opponents and provides a more aggressive tone to your game for a relentlessly attacking style of play.

Sound Filter also reduces uncomfortable sensations from the racquet by rapidly eliminating 31% of vibrations.

Nanoair Spring in the resin binds the carbon fi bres so that nanoscale air bubbles in the material help the racquet to fl ex and bend as in a spring. The result is a better transfer of energy from string-bed to shuttle for a more powerful hit.

DURA Frame

Dura-Frame is installed on the frame of YONEX aluminium racquets. This makes the racquet highly durable and provides solid feeling and face stability.

YONEX has applied the technologies of Aerodynamic Shape and Box Shape to the Delta Power Frame, creating a stable and solid hitting surface without sacrifi cing power.

The shaft is constructed using ‘Ultra PEF’ – Ultra Poly Ethylene Fibre – which is light enough to fl oat on water yet able to withstand immense forces. These characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.

BOX Frame: Realizes a solid feel at impact.

AERO Frame: Decreases air resistance and realizes a quicker swing.

A. In comparison to the frame of a conventional racquet, the DX Frame features a wider trench so that impact shock is reduced by distributing weight pressure over a larger area.B. The DX Frame is also thicker and able to stretch like a spring under pressure from above. Impact shock is spread over the whole frame, preventing distortion to the structure.

The YONEX POWER CUSHION absorbs shock then reverses the impact energy for smooth transfer into the next movement. Compared with urethane, the YONEX POWER CUSHION construction provides 3 times more shock absorbing power.

The hard top and bottom layers absorb 30% more shock than our original Power Cushion and 5% more repulsion for enhanced transfer of energy. The soft middle layer quickly returns to its original shape after receiving a shock load, converting the shock energy into power for fast and light footwork.
