Yonex has introduced cutting edge technology and a reimagined frame structure, designed to enhance string snapback and string movement. This innovation allows players to generate exceptional spin, marking a new benchmark in Yonex's tennis racquet history. Every detail of the racquet has been engineered to maximize performance, providing a tangible advantage on the court.

Advanced Spin and Shot Control

The advanced string technology ensures that the ball grips the strings more effectively, allowing players to impart greater topspin and slice with ease. By optimizing energy transfer from racquet to ball, players experience more control over shot trajectory and depth, translating into a more dynamic and versatile game.

Built for Intermediate to Advanced Players

This racquet is specifically crafted for intermediate to advanced players who value a balance of lightness and flexibility. Its responsive frame offers a precise feel, empowering players to execute complex shots with confidence and accuracy. The combination of reduced weight and enhanced maneuverability allows for faster reaction times during intense rallies.

Enhanced Sweet Spot with Isometric

Isometric is a signature Yonex technology that has been at the forefront of racquet innovation since 1980. The square shaped Isometric design increases the sweet spot by roughly 7 percent, optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings for more consistent ball contact and greater control without compromising power.

Precision Spin with 2G Namd Flex Force

2G Namd Flex Force combines advanced materials and engineering to deliver aggressive, attacking spin with precise control. A carbon nanotube structure binds graphite fibers together, minimizing energy loss and enabling the frame to flex naturally while providing rapid snapback for enhanced spin generation.

Vibration Control with Servo Filter

Servo Filter is a transparent, elastic film placed between graphite layers that effectively absorbs unwanted vibrations, providing controlled flex and rapid snapback for every shot. Players experience precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand, improving shot accuracy and feel.

Enhanced Control with FlexCon System

The tapered, elongated box frame of the FlexCon System allows the shaft to flex naturally, extending ball pocketing time and providing enhanced feel and control on every shot, further amplified by the flexible 2G Namd Flex Force material.

Enhanced Stability with a Stiffer Racquet Face

Additional layers of graphite in the racquet face improve rigidity and stability during ball contact, helping maintain precise ball trajectory and shot accuracy for confident, controlled play across a variety of strokes.
