Key Performance Technologies
-
ISOMETRIC™ Frame Shape: Developed over 30 years ago, the Isometric design increases the sweet spot by 7%. By optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings, it delivers greater control without sacrificing power on off-center hits.
-
Nanomesh Neo: A resilient material that promotes quicker shaft take-back. This technology ensures the frame is tougher and more flexible, allowing the racket to snap back into position instantly after every strike.
-
Aero-Box Frame: A combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel. The Aero-Box design reduces air resistance while maintaining structural integrity, giving you a stable feel during high-speed rallies.
-
Control Support Cap: The wider flat surface (88% wider than ordinary rackets) provides an easier grip, fast follow-through, and the sharpest maneuverability at the net.
-
Built-in T-Joint: Molded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the Yonex Built-in T-Joint creates a durable and high-strength one-piece frame that is torque-free.
