RACQUETS VOLTRIC
MORE POWER
Put your opponents on the back foot and keep them
there with the most powerful racquet in the Yonex
range.
TECHNOLOGY
Why Voltric? Voltric racquets get
their immense power and speed from
the innovative Tri-voltage SYSTEM.
This system uses a combination of
intelligent head weighting, frame
flex and aerodynamics to generate
explosive force without compromising
speed and handling.
Deliver crushing smashes one minute
and devastatingly fast swings the next.
“My VOLTRIC racquet feels really great;
it gives me the power to play with aggression
and dominate the court”
Jan O. Jorgensen | 2014 Indonesia Open Superseries Premier Winner
& European Badminton Championships Gold Medallist
VOLTRIC is Power
VOLTRIC is AgilitY
The stiff structure at the top of the frame
allows the head to flex in a controlled
way, holding shuttles on the string bed
for longer. The thin sides also allow more
flex in the frame transferring increased
energy to the shuttle. With this combination
you can smash with instant power.
VOLTRIC has weight at the top of the frame
and at the joint area, providing great
handling while maintaining head-heavy
power. The thinner frame at the top and
sides of the head help reduce air resistance
and further improve handling. VOLTRIC
responds instantly, letting you play with
a full swing even in short range rallies.
TM
The new E-tune system from YONEX allows you to tune the racquet’s weight
balance to fit your style. Utilizing the
TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM, powered up with new, linked grommets, you can
attach parts to the frame in a variety
of patterns to create a weight balance
that matches your style of play.
Take your game to the next level.

RACQUETS NANORAY
MORE SPEED
Dominate the court and keep your opponents
on the run with an aerodynamic and lightning-fast
Nanoray racquet.
TECHNOLOGY
Why Nanoray? Nanoray
racquets make sure the shuttle spends
more time in your opponent’s court.
The sleek, streamlined frame means it
cuts effortlessly through the air while
the ultra-stiff X-FULLERENE shaft
boosts repulsion power.
Convert your opponent’s shots into
fast, deep returns, even with the shortest of swings.
X-FULLERENE is incorporated into the full length of the shaft
to increase stiffness by 6% and repulsion power by 4% –
giving you a high repulsion performance to hit deep into the
opponent’s court, even with a compact swing during high
speed rallies.
“My success is due to my fighting spirit and
my Nanoray Z-SPEED, which allows me
to hit overhead smashes and drop shots with
superior speed.”

RACQUETS ARCSABER
MORE CONTROL
Outsmart your opponents with the
devastatingly precise and controlled
play of the ArcSaber.
TECHNOLOGY
Why ArcSaber? ArcSaber racquets
give you the contol, touch and feel to
place your shots exactly where you want
them. Using a unique molecular structure,
our ArcSaber technology creates
an ultra-strong, rigid carbon frame, so
that your racquet returns instantly to its
original shape after every shot.
Offering greater flexibility, durability and repulsion power, Neo CS Carbon
Nanotube delivers outstanding performance when you need to hit powerful,
controlled shots. Neo CS CARBON NANOTUBE enables the frame to quickly
return back to its normal shape, increasing the repulsion power.
“Control is the key to our game and
the ArcSaber gives us this, especially
when the points are tight.”
Mathias Boe & Carsten Mogensen |
2014 YONEX French Open Men's Doubles Winners

The secret to the dominance of YONEX racquet
technology is that we use materials that are precisely
engineered at a molecular level invisible to the naked
eye. This Nanoscience technology means we can
alter the structure of materials to build in strength, flex
and power exactly where it’s needed. That’s what gives
our racquets the leading edge and why YONEX racquets
are trusted by champions.

RACQUETS TECHNOLOGY

NANOMETRIC ß
Nanomesh + Carbon Nanotube
Grounded in Nanoscience, this material binds
carbon fibres tightly together one-by-one without
any gaps, for enhanced strength.
Unique structural carbon materials are an integral part of the
NANORAY racquet series. Incorporated into parts of the frame
and shaft they increase strength, give sharper handling and boost
repulsion power.
Graphite carbon fibres bound with epoxy resin
boost repulsion power and strength.
Tiny air pockets in the racquet’s carbon
structure act like a spring, giving a better transfer of energy
from the string-bed to the shuttle for a more powerful shot.

to produce an expanded sweet spot

ISOMETRIC is a trademark of YONEX Co., Ltd.
AERO + BOX Frame
AERO + BOX Variframe
The slimmer section in the middle
of the frame of the NANORAY
Z-Speed racquet incorporates an
elastic material called EX-HMG.
This allows the frame to flex more
on impact, repelling the shuttle at
astonishing speed.
AERO Frame: The AERO Frame cuts air resistance for a faster swing..
BOX Frame: The BOX Frame has an ultra-stiff
profile for a solid feel.
Aerodynamic contouring of the top
of the frame minimizes air resistance
so air flows faster across the
curved surface during the swing,
transferring more speed and power
into shots.
TRI-BUMPER
The tungsten infused grommet helps
maximise contact time between
the shuttle and strings, giving more
power.
Patent
Pending
Our single-pass grommet design has more
holes than a conventional racquet for a higherperformance stringing pattern.
MUSCLE POWER Frame
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.
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.
Built-in-T-Joint
T-ANCHOR
Shock-absorbing material called Elastomer is
included in the bottom of the frame to reduce
the impact shock and stress on players’ elbows.
NEW Grommet Pattern
Made from lightweight plastic and epoxy resin
and inserted into a number of models the NEW
Built-in T-Joint has a foaming agent where it
meets the frame core, which increases the
stability of the shuttle on the string bed.
CAP TechnologY
Buried deep within the layers of graphite and
carbon, the ultra-tough Built-in T-Joint reinforces
the place where the shaft meets the head;
increasing strength and eliminating twisting.
LSC System
All YONEX Japanese-built racquets use a
shock-absorbing core to stop harmful vibrations
travelling through the shaft.
AERO Frame
NEW Built-in-T-Joint
Patent Pending
SOLID FEEL CORE
AERO + BOX Frame: AERO and BOX frame
profiles are combined on some racquets to give
both a faster swing and more solid feel.
BOX Frame
JoinT TechnologY
Our innovative grommet pattern, allows strings
to run horizontally creating greater flex in the
string bed and allowing for the smallest head
yet with an enlarged sweet spot at the top of
the frame.
The unique grommet pattern allows strings to run
vertically through to the string bed, adding more
flex and creating a wider, enlarged sweet spot.
SBZ (SNAP BACK ZONE)
The T-ANCHOR increases stiffness for a faster recovery.
REXIL Fiber is an original high quality
material, developed by YONEX to exceed the repulsion and shock
absorption performances of normal
materials.
TOUGHLEX is a ‘sticky’ resin which
delivers high flexibility and intensity.
High resilience and flexibility help
players to hit easy clear shots.
SONIC METAL
An ultra-stiff material incorporated
into the lower part of the frame.
SONIC METAL gives an aggressive
snap-back

POWER BOOST Cap
The clever mix of stiff and flexible
materials used in the Power Boost Cap allows for more shaft flex,
generating additional power without

Slim Shafts
Yonex slim shafts are designed to slice

to generate extra power.

FLEXION UPPER
New asymmetrical upper design for
a better and more comfortable fit.
Eyelets in the upper shoe follow the
