33RACQUET TECHNOLOGY
JOINT TECHNOLOGYFRAME TECHNOLOGY
YONEX NANOSCIENCE technology continues to be researched and developed in order to
take our racquets to the next level.
This molecular level science is based on extraordinarily small scale advancements in material construction that is invisible to the eye. YONEX are committed to technological developments that together make an big impact on your game.
The built-in Solid Feel Core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid Feel Core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.
SOLID FEEL CORE
The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
NEW Grommet PatternNEW GROMMET PATTERN
NANOMESH + CARBON NANOTUBE is an exclusive structural material inserted into the frame and/or shaft of the NANORAY series. It significantly increases repulsion power, toughness and impact strength within the racquet. By combining Carbon Nanotube with a resin, the two molecules create a mesh-like construction which delivers a head-light racquet, sharper drive shots, improved strength and faster handling.
NANOMESH + CARBON NANOTUBE
Sound Filter uses new materials at the two and ten oclock positions to reduce only high pitched and dull soundwaves. This produces a louder and sharper sound on impact to unsettle opponents and provides a more aggressive tone to your game for a relentlessly attacking style of play. Sound Filter also reduces uncomfortable sensations from the racquet by rapidly eliminating 31% of vibrations.

NANOAIR SPRING
Nanoair Spring in the resin binds the carbon fibres so that nanoscale air bubbles in the material help the racquet to flex and bend as in a spring. The result is a better transfer of energy from string-bed to shuttle for a more powerful hit.
Muscle 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.
MUSCLE POWER Frame
Dura-Frame is installed on the frame of YONEX aluminium racquets. This makes the racquet highly durable and provides solid feeling and face stability.
DURA-Frame
AERO Frame Decreases air resistance and realizes a quicker swing.
BOX Frame Realizes a solid feel at impact.
AERO+BOX FrameCombines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
Moulded 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.
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.

SHAFT TECHNOLOGY
The shaft is constructed using Ultra PEF Ultra Poly Ethylene Fibre which is light enough to float on water yet able to withstand immense forces. These characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.
The POWER BOOST CAP combines hard and soft materials to maximize the shafts bending power without losing stability.

Slimmer shaft produces greater flex for increased power and less air resistance for improved racquet handling.
CAP TECHNOLOGYControl Support Cap
ISOMETRIC technology was invented by YONEX to maximise the vital sweet spot area and is now a world leading feature of our racquets. The square shaped head of the racquet means that there are more strings crossing at right angles, resulting in a bigger sweet spot. YONEX continues to develop and enhance ISOMETRIC power, reducing still further the inert space around the edge of conventional racquets, creating a far bigger sweet spot than other frames.
