PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY
POWER CUSHION +
A raw egg can be dropped from 12 meters above the POWER CUSHION+ mat, rebounding to a height of 6 meters without breaking.
**Tested by YONEX** POWER CUSHIONTM is a trademark of Yonex Co., Ltd.
*Research by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association & Boken Quality Evaluation (based on JIS standards) in comparison to conventional cushioning material (EVA).
POWER CUSHION +
By adding a special elastic resin to POWER CUSHION, while maintaining the conventional lightweight properties, high shock absorption is realized. Grooves designed in a lattice pattern, with optimum spacing and depth, achieve further resilience.
Compared with conventional cushioning material, the new POWER CUSHION+ boasts 28% more shock absorption and 62% more repulsion.
POWER CUSHION
Shock Absorption
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. When dropped from 7m above a Power Cushion sheet, an egg will bounce back 4m without damage.
Power Graphite Sheet
Stable
A graphite plate is inserted under the middle portion of the sole to increase stability and reduce weight within the shoe.
Feather Bounce FOAM
A new lightweight cushioning material designed to provide an added bounce with each step.
Synchro-Fit Insole
YONEX new Synchro-Fit Insole construction allows a closer fit between shoe and foot, keeping power loss to an absolute minimum to achieve smoother movement and quicker footwork. Fig1. Compared to conventional footwear, the mid to heel area on the insole is lifted to provide a closer-fit between shoe and foot. Fig2. By holding the heel more firmly against the insole, the gap between shoe and foot is reduced, improving comfort and ensuring the foot does not slip forwards inside the shoe.
Toe Assist Shape
Improved Fit, preventing lateral movement in all directions.
Round Sole
Maximum Energy
The YONEX Round Sole ™ is designed to provide all-around support for quick and smooth footwork. The Round Sole ensures smooth movements and the transfer of maximum energy.
Heel Contact Round Sole
Contact: Stability
Heel contact and round soleRounded heel design provides for a smoother heel contact and transition from heel to toe, plus a larger more rounded contact area for a smoother landing.
Durable Skin
Adaptive material that supports agile footwork with a stable yet flexible fit. The visually improved upper design technology increases durability whilst maintaining comfort for smoother footwork.
