Yonex: tennis rackets made in Japan
Known for equipping a large number of professional badminton players, Yonex also makes high-quality tennis rackets in Japan. The brand also has its own graphite factory for the manufacture of the frames of its rackets.
Since the first tennis racket was made in 1969, Yonex has continued to innovate and offer exceptional technological developments. Many professional players have adopted Yonex rackets such as Stan Wawrinka, Nick Kyrgios, Denis Shapovalov, Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber, Caroline Garcia and many others.
Ranges for all types of play
Yonex offers three different ranges of tennis rackets:
- the Yonex Ezone is certainly the most popular and consists of powerful rackets;
- the Yonex VCore is focused on spin with excellent versatility;
- the Yonex VCore Pro is a control-oriented range for the explosive player.
- The Yonex Percept replaces the Vcore Pro range for even more precision and feeling
Each of these ranges is offered in two different headsize. The 100 headsize is a 645 cm² headsize and will provide the most power. The 97 and 98 heads are 625cm² and 630cm² heads which will provide more control when hitting.
Market-leading technologies
At the cutting edge of technology, the Japanese brand Yonex uses nanometry to provide more repulsion and therefore energy to the ball. Gel is injected into the handle of each racket to absorb the bad vibrations generated by the strike. You will also easily recognize a Yonex racket thanks to the characteristic isometric shape of their frame, which provides more power and tolerance.
In addition, the Japanese brand also integrates many other technologies into its rackets to enhance their performance:
- Vibration Dampening Mesh: a material placed in the handle allows to filter 30% of the frame vibrations;
- 2G-Namd Flex Force: modified graphite structure for better energy transfer and increased spin;
- M40X: Stiff graphite is placed near the screen to improve power and softer graphite in the core to improve comfort, stability and ball control;
- Lock Booster System: modified grommets for better grommet to string contact, better energy transfer and therefore more power;
- Shockless Grommets: integrated grommets on the side and bottom of the frame to minimise muscle fatigue and therefore the risk of injury while providing a soft feel at impact;
- Flexcon System: redesigned racket core for improved flexibility and control;
- Flex Fuse: Absorbent polymers integrated into the core of the racket to improve comfort and feel.
