Rotational Generator System + 2G-NamdTM Flex Technology By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is carefully distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and joint, enabling smooth transition between powerful shots for rapid, successive attacks. The innovative graphite “2G-NamdTM Flex Force” used in the shaft, characterized by its quick flex and snapback, maximizes shot power and advances the performance of the Rotational Generator System.
Stability Weight Distribution The added weight distribution on the sides of the frame enhances stability during the swing, resulting in maximized smash power. And allowing for the effective breakdown of defenses during back-court attacks.
Ultra PE Fiber The shaft is constructed using ‘Ultra PEF’ – ultra poly ethylene fibre – which is light enough to float on water yet able to withstand immense forces. these characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.
Ultra Thin Shaft Thinnest Ever with More Power. Inserting NANOPREME into the racket shaft ensures greater stability compared to conventional rackets. When bending and releasing two rackets under the same force, the Ultra Slim Long Shaft rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racket does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability compared with conventional rackets.
Energy Boost CAP PLUS Uniquely shaped cap which maximizes shaft performance.The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racket face by preventing the shaft from twisting.
Power Assist Bumper Attached to enforce heavier, increased power by configuring the weight directed into the shuttlecock with a tungsten-infused nylon bumper.
Tungsten Yonex incorporates tungsten in the Astrox badminton rackets to enhance the precision and stability of shots by optimizing the weight distribution and increasing the frame's stiffness.
CFR or Compact Frame Reinforcement, in Yonex rackets is utilized to strengthen the racket frame without significantly increasing its weight. This technology ensures the frame is more durable and resistant to torsional forces, leading to improved stability and precision in shots.
