Technology

ISOMETRIC™
Yonex's square-shaped head design increases the size of the sweet spot, improving accuracy and consistency on off-centre shots.

2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE
Advanced carbon composite material improves graphite flex and snapback, helping deliver greater spin and energy transfer throughout ball contact.

Aero Trench
Reduces drag by uniquely hiding the grommets located at the top of the racquet frame to achieve faster head speeds for increased spin potential.

LINER TECH
Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots for maximum spin generation.

SERVO FILTER
Yonex-exclusive material integrated into the frame enhances stability and vibration damping during play.

VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh)
Internal mesh technology reduces unwanted vibration on impact, improving feel and comfort for extended play.
