Badminton 2008/09

The one. The world’s number one P.

New for 2008 and implementing the exclusive “Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube” technology, is the ArcSaber series of high performance racquets. Positioning this revolutionary technology in the frame of the racquet has made it possible for the energy created from the shuttle impact to be absorbed and harnessed before being transferred into a return with supreme power and accuracy.

Cup-stack Carbon nanotube

Super HMG

Ultra PEF

Increased durability and improved flexibility allows the frame to return back to it’s original shape faster. Positioned at the sides of the racquet it improves the frames elasticity holding the shuttle on the string bed for enhanced control at the point of impact.

Integrated into the outside of the frame the Super High Modulus Graphite produces immense power. The combined benefits of CS Carbon Nanotube and Super HMG technologies on the side of the frame allow a hard shot to be controlled.

The Ultra Poly Ethylene Fibers positioned in the shaft are light enough to float on water yet are able to withstand immense weights. These characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.

The new thinner frame reduces unwanted air resistance found in conventional racquets helping players to smash with greater speed and force.

The new lightweight Built-in T-Joint is made from an epoxy resin material that enhances the level of quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.

The “Control Support Cap” has been made thinner to reduce air friction whilst still providing an area for racquet control allowing maximum manoeuverability.

The unveiling of the ArcSaber 10 The ArcSaber 10 was first made available to a select few Yonex professionals in late 2007. Clouded in secrecy it was originally finished in pure black to thwart ongoing counterfeiting issues experienced by badminton manufacturers. As the leaders in the manufacturing of badminton equipment technology, Yonex are spearheading the battle posed to ensure players of all standards receive only genuine Yonex merchandise. The ArcSaber 10 is the first racquet to have received this treatment, and Yonex would recommend that you only purchase product from Yonex Authorised Stockists (see page 38 for details).

The Yonex Nanoscience process allows sensitive control over how the racquet materials function at the molecular level by utilising the Carbon Compound Fullerene. The Nanoscience process establishes a high-performance molecular bond of the materials and creates a stable, thinner and stronger head light racquet that delivers maximum power and speed.

Fullerene

ELASTIC Ti

Shaft Cross section

The bonding of fullerene and carbon nano-particles creates an ultra-lightweight racquet that’s thinner, stronger and more stable than an ordinary racquet for maximum power and speed from swing energy.

Elastic Ti provides a powerful rebound effect which after impact allows the frame to ‘snap-back’ to its original shape launching the shuttlecock down court with increased accuracy and immense power.

The reduced shaft weight is transferred to the grip, realising a new dimension in Head light racquets

New Grommet System

R&D Testing

The new Yonex single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes at the 2 & 10 o’clock position on the frame, creating a high performance stringing pattern that increases durability by 7%.

When tested, the Nanospeed Series delivered 30% more impact resistance than an ordinary racquet, 10% more durability and 5% more repulsion power.

The high-performance graphite and gForce Ti hybrid construction create a head-weighted effect that gives more smash speed. The pared-corner construction of Armortec racquets is a unique Yonex structural feature that makes this series lightweight, controllable and highly manoeuvrable.

Power Armor System

Control support cap

Armortec’s secret is ‘gForce Ti’, an advanced hybrid material developed by Yonex to enhance the racquet frame’s ‘acceleration of gravity’ performance. The result, Armortec racquets generate 4% more speed, better face stability and provide a robust ‘metallic feel’ on impact. The lightweight frame and distinctive cross sectional shape at the top of the head reduces the racquet’s torque performance – improving both speed and control.

The Control Support Cap provides a wider, flatter surface for easier gripping. Assisting quick, nimble and manoeuvrable strokes across the full power spectrum.

AT900 POWER

AT900 TECHNIQUE

Elastic Ti is loaded at a kick point at the bottom of the frame allowing players to hit a power-smash.

Elastic Ti is positioned on the upper part of the frame, making it ideal for the control players, due to the precise performance of ElasticTi.

The Box Shape provides hard hitters with a stable hitting surface for a solid feel. This stability allows players to hit a controlled power-smash

The Aerodynamic Shape provides control players with more head speed for agile manoeuverability. It enables players to change the course of a point by counter-attacking and hitting a winning drive.

Built-in t-joint

Delta power frame

micro ti

Moulded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the YONEX built-in T-Joint creates a durable and highstrength one piece frame that’s torque free.

YONEX applied the technologies of Aerodynamic Shape and Box Shape to the Delta Power Frame, which creates a stable and solid hitting face without sacrificing its power.

A new solid titanium mesh, 2.5 times heavier than Graphite, is loaded into the top of the frame. It enables players to store energy at impact, and improve control.

feather shuttlecocks Careful attention to the selection of materials and in manufacture ensures outstanding durability under the tremendous shocks shuttlecocks receive at impact with today’s high-power, high-speed racquets.

Official shuttlecock supplier to Badminton World Federation & Badminton Europe.

Meticulous attention to detail, in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, ensures that every shuttlecock is engineered for performance. Using the finest quality Portuguese cork and carefully selecting seven goose feathers from every wing, Yonex feather shuttlecocks are manufactured to the very highest standards for distance and stability control under all conditions.

Yonex Feather shuttlecocks are tested against other brands to make sure that they demonstrate consistent recovery, flight trajectory and speed performance. Testing at our research and development facility shows that 80% of the Yonex feather shuttlecocks fired down court hit a 25cm target area, whilst the other brands tested needed a 75cm target area to demonstrate the equivalent performance.

Flight stability Each shuttlecock is made up from seven carefully selected goose feathers and uses the finest quality Portuguese cork.

When tested, 80% of the Yonex feather shuttlecocks fired down court hit a 25cm target area, whilst the other brands tested needed a 75cm target area to demonstrate the equivalent performance.

Stronger and lighter than E.V.A. shoes, msLite shoes fully support quick footwork. msLite maintains the original shape of the shoes longer for extended cushioning performance.

footwear technology Power Cushion Shock absorbing Yonex Power Cushion inserts are positioned in the heel and sole of the shoe to maximise your performance and reduce fatigue – keeping you fresher for longer.

Lateral Claw

3 layer Power Cushion

This new Yonex design provides greater stability to support quick movement into your next step. This is achieved by stabilising the sides of the foot to prevent lateral movement on landing, so more power is transferred into the next step.

The hard top and bottom layers absorb 30% more shock than the original Power Cushion and 5% more repulsion for enhanced transfer of energy. The soft middle layer quickly returns to it’s original shape, converting shock energy into power for light and fast footwork. Firm Power Cushion

Outsole

Original Power Cushion

Round Sole The Round Sole provides a feeling of natural comfort underfoot while maximising the transfer of body energy into movements around the court. Positioned at the side and heel to prevent landing on a ‘un-even’ edge, the Round Sole provides what top players look for in badminton shoes – design features that support quick and smooth footwork.

footwear technology Power Cushion Insole FG

Prevents the foot slipping inside the shoe, stabilising landing and reducing power loss during attack, which, in turn helps spring a player into their next movement.

HEXAGRIP For agile and stable footwork, the Hexagrip pattern is made from a newlydeveloped material, providing 3% more grip and that is 20% lighter.

Side Step

Power Cushion Insole MC

The Power Cushion insole MC construction puts more power into your footwork. Extending support inside the shoe to check side-to-side movement and with no lateral movement to diminish power, more speed and more power are transferred into your movements.

Double Russel Mesh Super light-weight and durable, this ultra-fine mesh provides 8x more airexchange performance than ordinary mesh for maximum moisture release.

Anti-twist System Adds rigidity to the heel that helps maintain the function and shape helping to prevent injury to the ankle.

Power Graphite Light The 3D Graphite Sheet sole plate provides high stability and cushioning on landing.

Ergoshape The Ergoshape’s scientific contouring provides comfort and stability for the forefoot and toes.
