Engineering you can feel.

Yonex's signature square-shaped head. Squaring off the traditional oval lets the main and cross strings meet more evenly, enlarging the area that returns a clean, consistent shot.

On a conventional oval head, the longest strings sit in the centre and the shortest at the edges, so the sweet spot is narrow. ISOMETRIC squares the shoulders of the frame so more of the main and cross strings are similar in length.

The result is a larger effective hitting area — off-centre contacts behave more like centre hits, which builds confidence on fast exchanges and stretched defence.

It appears across Yonex badminton and tennis rackets, from entry-level frames to tour models.

A hybrid frame profile: streamlined sections reduce air resistance for a faster swing, while box-shaped sections keep the head stable for a solid hitting feel.

Round, aerodynamic profiles move through the air quickly but can feel less stable at impact. Box-shaped profiles are rigid and stable but carry more drag.

AERO+BOX FRAME places each profile where it does the most good around the head, combining swing speed with a solid, controlled response.

Found in the ASTROX series. Weight is distributed between the grip end, the top of the frame and the joint so a head-heavy racket rotates smoothly back into position after each shot.

Head-heavy rackets generate steep, powerful smashes, but extra mass in the head can make the racket slow to bring back for the next shot.

The Rotational Generator System counterbalances that mass, helping the racket rotate naturally in the hand for faster transitions from attack to defence.

The engine of the NANOFLARE series: high-modulus graphite and a sleek frame designed for rapid repulsion, so drives and counter-attacks leave the string bed quickly.

NANOFLARE rackets favour fast handling. The Sonic Flare System pairs high-modulus graphite with a streamlined head to deliver quick repulsion without sacrificing control.

It suits players who win points at the net and in flat, fast exchanges — especially in doubles.

An ARCSABER frame technology shaped to let the shuttle sit in the string bed a fraction longer, giving more time to direct it accurately.

Control players rely on feel — knowing exactly how the shuttle will leave the racket. POCKETING BOOSTER is designed to increase hold time on impact.

That extra moment of contact translates into confident placement, whether redirecting a smash or playing a tight net shot.

A shaft material used across ASTROX models, engineered to bend under load and snap back quickly to add pace to the shuttle.

The shaft stores energy as it bends during the swing. NANOMESH NEO is designed to release that energy efficiently as it straightens through impact.

A graphite material reinforced at the nano level to improve flexibility and recoil. Variants such as 2G-Namd SPEED appear in EZONE tennis frames.

2G-NAMD binds nano-scale material to the graphite fibres, helping the frame flex and recover quickly through contact.

In tennis, 2G-Namd SPEED is positioned to help the frame return energy to the ball for easy depth and spin.

A specially shaped cap at the grip end of selected ASTROX rackets, designed to support shaft performance through the swing.

The grip end is the link between player and racket. ENERGY BOOST CAP PLUS is shaped to help the energy of the swing travel efficiently into the shaft.

Vibration Dampening Mesh — a layer within the frame of tennis models such as EZONE that reduces unwanted vibration for a more comfortable feel.

Off-centre contact sends vibration through the frame and into the arm. VDM is integrated into the layup to absorb part of that vibration before it reaches the hand.

A vibration-absorbing material used in Yonex tennis frames to soften harsh feedback while keeping the response crisp.

MINOLON is used alongside other materials in the frame to reduce shock on impact — particularly valuable over long sessions.

A PERCEPT technology designed to filter out unwanted vibration while preserving the feedback control players depend on.

Control-oriented players want to feel the ball on the strings. SERVO FILTER is designed to reduce harsh vibration without muting that sensation.

Yonex's signature cushioning. It absorbs the shock of landing and lunging, then returns energy to help players push into the next movement.

Badminton and tennis demand repeated jumps, lunges and sudden stops. POWER CUSHION is designed to absorb that impact and convert part of it into rebound.

Newer footwear uses POWER CUSHION+ and related foams; the principle stays the same — protection on landing, responsiveness on take-off.

An outsole pattern built from hexagonal elements for dependable traction during multi-directional movement on indoor courts.

Court sports move in every direction. Hexagonal tread elements present an edge in each of them, helping the outsole bite as players push off, stop and change direction.

A rounded outsole edge that helps the foot roll naturally through lunges and side-steps, supporting smooth weight transfer.

Flat-edged soles can catch as the foot rolls during a lunge. ROUND SOLE curves the outsole edge so weight transfers progressively, keeping footwork fluid.

A lightweight synthetic upper material used in Yonex court shoes to combine a secure, flexible fit with resistance to wear.

Toe drags and lateral slides put heavy stress on uppers. DURABLE SKIN is designed to stand up to that wear while remaining light and flexible.
