TECHNOLOGYWhy 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.

Put your opponents on the back foot and keep them there with the most powerful racquet in the YONEX range.

The stiff structure at the top of the frame allows the head to fl ex in a controlled way, holding shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin sides also allow more fl ex in the frame transferring increased energy to the shuttle. With this combination you can smash with instant power.

The new E-tune system from YONEX allows you to tune the racquet’s weight balance to fi t 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.

VOLTRIC IS POWERVOLTRIC 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.

TRI-iBUMPER The tungsten infused grommet helps maximise contact time between the shuttle and strings, giving more power.

*ISOMETRIC is a trademark of YONEX Co., Ltd.

An original high quality material, developed by YONEX to exceed the repulsion and shock absorption performances of normal materials.

SOLID FEEL CORE All YONEX Japanese-built racquets use a shock-absorbing core to stop harmful vibrations travelling through the shaft.

LSC SystemShock-absorbing material called Elastomer is included in the bottom of the frame to reduce the impact shock and stress on players’ elbows.

SBZ (SNAP BACK ZONE)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.

MUSCLE POWER FrameFrames with MUSCLE POWER have a smoother arched string seat that reduces stress, helping strings to last longer.

SONIC METALAn ultra-stiff material incorporated into the lower part of the frame. SONIC METAL gives an aggressive snap-back effect, increasing repulsion power and producing an attacking sound.

Sound Filter Unsettle your opponent with the aggressive crack of a YONEX racquet fitted with Sound Filter. Using materials engineered into the racquet frame the technology filters only the sound required for a powerful and commanding tone during attacking play.

DURA-FrameThe engineered DURA-Frame profile on the YONEX aluminium racquet gives them incredible strength and a solid feel.

Patent Pending

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.

TOUGHLEX is a ‘sticky’ resin which delivers high flexibility and intensity. High resilience and flexibility help players to hit easy clear shots.

FRAME TECHNOLOGY

The unique grommet pattern allows strings to run vertically through to the string bed, adding more flex and creating a wider, enlarged sweet spot.

Patent Pending

NEW Grommet PatternOur single-pass grommet design has more holes than a conventional racquet for a higher-performance stringing pattern.

Compact Frame The smaller frame size further reduces unwanted air resistance and improves feel.

NANOMETRIC, in the construction of the frame, repositions weight from the head of the racquet to the grip.

Super Slim Frame This thin frame provides greater head speed and a solid feel.

AERO FrameThe AERO Frame cuts air resistance for a faster swing.

BOX FrameThe BOX Frame has an ultra-stiff profile for a solid feel.

AERO+BOX FrameAERO and BOX frame profiles are combined on some racquets to give both a faster swing and more solid feel.

BOX Frame

AERO Frame

AERO+BOX VariframeAerodynamic 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.

MEGA Frame Due to its unique large-frame design, the Mega Frame further enlarges the already large sweet spot provided by the ISOMETRIC. Compared with an ordinary racquet, the Mega Frame provides a 34% larger sweet spot for greater reach and more effective off-centre hits.

DX Frame Features a wider trench to reduce impact shock by distributing weight pressure over a larger area. It is also thicker and able to stretch under pressure so that impact shock is spread over the whole frame.

Slim Shafts YONEX slim shafts are designed to slice effortlessly though the air and have greater flex to generate extra power.

DUAL WHIP-BACK SHAFTThe first tapered shaft from YONEX, increases flexibility for a longer hold time to enhance transfer of power to the shuttle.

Built-in T-Joint 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.

NEW Built-in T-Joint 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.

T-ANCHOR The T-ANCHOR increases stiffness for a faster recovery.

Ultra PEF YONEX shafts are constructed using lightweight Ultra Poly Ethylene Fibres that can withstand immense forces while soaking up unwanted shocks and vibrations.

JOINT TECHNOLOGY SHAFT TECHNOLOGYControl Support Cap Wider flat surface for more grip and better control.

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 losing stability.

FX PLUS is a new hybrid material that provides greater elasticity for bigger clear shots.
