DUAL OPTIMUM SYSTEM 

VIBSLAYER CARBON

VIBSLAYER CARBON is a material incorporated into the bottom-half of the frame. Made with ultra-thin layers of shock-absorbing material* between layers of carbon, players experience the same level of repulsion power generated by normal carbon with greatly reduced shock impact, cutting down on fatigue and stress on the body.

Tested by Yonex.

*VIBSLAYER CARBON utilizes shock absorbing materials developed by Toray Industries, Inc.

ISOMETRIC

NANOMETRIC DR

NANOMETRIC DR is a new carbon material developed by Yonex based on our unique NANOSCIENCE technology. Created from a material originally developed for next generation space aviation by Toray Industries, Inc., this marks the first time it has been used within the racquet industry. By combining firm shuttle hold and high repulsion, NANOMETRIC DR puts the DUORA into a class of its own.

NANOMETRIC β

Grounded in NANOSCIENCE, this material binds carbon fibres tightly together one-by-one without any gaps, for enhanced strength.

DUORA GROMMET

The new DUORA Grommet design features 8 linked grommets made with differing thicknesses on either side of the frame. When hit on the box side, thicker and harder grommets on the aero side result in a stiffer string bed, ultimately increasing launch power on the shuttlecock.

HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT

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 flex 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.

T-ANCHOR

A new composite material T-ANCHOR used in the T-joint helps reduce excess torque when hitting an off centre shot.

EXTRA SLIM-SHAFT:

Cutting edge NANOMETRIC carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-though, aerodynamic shaft, created for a stronger and more intense shot.

 

COMPACT FRAME

Frame construction provides fast swing and head-heavy balance

To balance the heavy racquet head, the frame has been made smaller to maintain the fast swing demanded by advanced players.

By reducing the drag caused by air resistance, the head-heavy feeling is reduced and racquet handling speed is increased.

ISOMETRIC

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.

 

SOLID FEEL CORE 

The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.

AERO+BOX FRAME

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

NEW GROMMETS PATTERN

The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.

NEW BUILT IN T-JOINT:

‘NEW’ Built-in T-Joint is manufactured from a special lightweight plastic combined with epoxy resin and foaming agent that enhances quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.

BUILT IN T-JOINT

Moulden 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.

NANOMETRIC

NANOMETRIC* improves the bonding strength between the carbon fibers enabling us to take racquet shaft construction to another level. By reducing the amount of carbon in the shaft to make it 60%* thinner than a conventional racquet whilst retaining stiffness, YONEX has created a revolutionary lightweight racquet with lightening head speed and control.

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

 Control Support Cap

The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.

Super Slim Long Shaft

The slimmest racquet ever produced by YONEX vastly reduces air resistance whilst providing maximum feel.
