The new E-tune system from YONEX allows you to tune the racquet’s weight balance to fi t your style. Utilizing the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM, powered up with new, linked grommets, you can attach parts to the frame in a varietyof patterns to create a weight balance that matches your style of play. Take your game to the next level.

MORE POWER

BADMINTON 2015 7

Put your opponents on the back foot and keep them there with the most powerful racquet in the YONEX range.

TECHNOLOGyWhy VOLTRIC? VOLTRIC racquets get their immense power and speed from the innovative TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM. This system uses a combination of intelligent head weighting, frame fl ex and aerodynamics to generate explosive force without compromising speed and handling.

Deliver crushing smashes one minute and devastatingly fast swings the next.

The stiff structure at the top of the frame allows the head to fl ex in a controlled way, holding shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin sides also allow more fl ex in the frame transferring increased energy to the shuttle. With this combination you can smash with instant power.

VOLTRIC Is POWERVOLTRIC has weight at the top of the frame and at the joint area, providing great handling while maintaining head-heavy power. The thinner frame at the top and sides of the head help reduce air resistance and further improve handling. VOLTRIC responds instantly, letting you play with a full swing even in short range rallies.

BADMINTON 2015 31

TRUSTED BYCHAMPIONS

The secret to the dominance of YONEX racquet technology is that we use materials that are precisely engineered at a molecular level invisible to the naked eye. This NANOSCIENCE technology means we can alter the structure of materials to build in strength, fl ex and power exactly where it’s needed. That’s what gives our racquets the leading edge and why YONEX racquets are trusted by champions.

NANOAIR sPRING Tiny air pockets in the racquet’s carbonstructure act like a spring, giving a better transfer of energy from the string-bed to the shuttle for a more powerful shot.

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

TECHNOLOGyRACQuETs

sBZ (sNAP BACK ZONE)The square-shaped ISOMETRIC frame shape is designed to keep vertical strings at a similar length, as well as the horizontal strings to produce an expanded sweet spot in all directions.

TM

REXIL Fiber is an original high quality material, developed by YONEX to exceed the repulsion and shock absorption performances of normal materials.

Patent Pending

The unique grommet pattern allows strings to run vertically through to the string bed, adding more fl ex and creating a wider, enlarged sweet spot.

The slimmer section in the middle of the frame of the NANORAY Z-SPEED racquet incorporates an elastic material called EX-HMG. This allows the frame to fl ex more on impact, repelling the shuttle at astonishing speed.

Our innovative grommet pattern, allows strings to run horizontally creating greater fl ex in the string bed and allowing for the smallest head yet with an enlarged sweet spot at the top of the frame.

Patent Pending

TRI-BuMPERThe tungsten infused grommet helps maximise contact time between the shuttle and strings, giving more power.

TOUGHLEX is a ‘sticky’ resin which delivers high fl exibility and intensity. High resilience and fl exibility help players to hit easy clear shots.

LsC systemShock-absorbing material called Elastomer is included in the bottom of the frame to reduce the impact shock and stress on players’ elbows.

sOLID FEEL COREAll YONEX Japanese-built racquets use a shock-absorbing core to stop harmful vibrations travelling through the shaft.

NEW Grommet PatternOur single-pass grommet design has more holes than a conventional racquet for a higher-performance stringing pattern.

MusCLE POWER FrameMuscle Power locates the string on rounded archways that eliminate stress-load and fatigue through contact friction. This construction creates total unity of the string and frame through closer and tighter contact.

sONIC METALAn ultra-stiff material incorporated into the lower part of the frame. SONIC METAL gives an aggressive snap-back effect, increasing repulsion power and producing an attacking sound.

AERO + BOX Frame: AERO and BOX frame profi les are combined on some racquets to give both a faster swing and more solid feel.

BOX Frame: The BOX Frame has an ultra-stiff profi le for a solid feel.

AERO Frame: The AERO Frame cuts air resist-ance for a faster swing..

BOX Frame

AERO Frame

AERO + BOX Frame AERO + BOX VariframeAerodynamic contouring of the top of the frame minimizes air resistance so air fl ows faster across the curved surface during the swing, transferring more speed and power into shots.

Made from lightweight plastic and epoxy resin and inserted into a number of models the NEW Built-in T-Joint has a foaming agent where it meets the frame core, which increases the stability of the shuttle on the string bed.

NEW Built-in-T-Joint

Buried deep within the layers of graphite and carbon, the ultra-tough Built-in T-Joint reinforces the place where the shaft meets the head; increasing strength and eliminating twisting.

Built-in-T-Joint

The fi rst tapered shaft from YONEX, increases fl exibility for a longer hold time to enhance transfer of power to the shuttle.

Control support CapThe Control Support Cap provides an 88% wider fl at surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.

The clever mix of stiff and fl exible materials used in the POWER BOOST CAP allows for more shaft fl ex, generating additional power without losing stability.
