ADDED POWER Do you want the choice of winning the point with one shot or dominating long rallies? Use destructive force to beat your opponent quickly or grind them down over time. Experience power like never before. Select VOLTRIC.
Traditionally, extra weight at the top of the racquet frame has increased hitting power but reduced the speed of racquet handling. In contrast, a lighter top to the frame increases speed but causes a loss of hitting power. For the first time, the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racquet which achieves the combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling.
VOLTRIC IS POWER
VOLTRIC IS AGILITY
The stiff racquet structure at the top of the frame allows the head to bend in a very controlled way and hold shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin frame sides then allow the frame to flex more and transfer more energy to the shuttle. This combination allows you to smash with instant power.
In VOLTRIC, the weight is balanced on the top of the frame and at the joint area which allows good handling while also maintaining power. The thin frame at top and side of the head reduces air resistance and improves the handling even further. Players can now make a full swing even during short range rallies as VOLTRIC responds instantly to even subtle movements.

TUNGSTEN INFUSED GROMMET INCREASED IMPACT POWER Tungsten infused grommets maximize the contact time between shuttle and string. This combined with the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM ensure that the frame flexes in a controlled way, holding the shuttle on the string bed for longer for maximum transfer of power to the shuttle.
AERODYNAMIC FRAME CONSTRUCTION Air resistance is minimized by including the tip of the grommet inside the frame, to produce an ultra-smooth, air resistant shape that together with a heavy head delivers a smooth swinging frame with awesome power.

MORE SPEED Does your opponent put you on the back foot? Use rapid racquet handling to counter and dominate the court to take revenge. Dynamic speed is here. Select NANORAY.
NANORAY’s revolutionary frame design delivers a smooth swing and dynamic repulsion. The NANORAY frame is designed to offer two benefits, the aerodynamic upper frame reduces air resistance for high speed shot making, whilst the lower frame’s high level strength helps give you a greater level of repulsion power. This combination gives you a high speed swing speed together with the ability to absorb shock on impact for greater repulsion. The NANORAY frame, designed for the lightning fast shot making even with a compact swing during the high speed rallies.
Incorporating X-Fullerene into the whole shaft strengthens the binding force, increasing stiffness by 6% and repulsion power by 4%. This combination delivers high repulsion performance to hit deep into the opponent’s court, even with a compact swing during high-speed rallies. Lightning fast shot-making with high repulsion is generated by near-instant ‘snap back’ from the shaft during the swing.
Shaft equipped with X-FULLERENE creates even greater repulsion power. Flexural Strength Force of Repulsion (%) (%)

NANORAY RACQUETS
SBZ (SNAP BACK ZONE) The unique frame design of the NANORAY Z-SPEED means that the frame is thinner at the midway point at either side of the racquet head. At this point, EX-HMG – the most elastic and powerful material ever – is used within the frame, allowing it to flex on impact and repel the shuttle with explosive acceleration and devastating power.
SONIC METAL is an extremely stiff material positioned in the lower part of the frame to maximize the snap back effect, increase repulsion power and produce a crisp hitting sound when the shuttlecock is hit. SBZ (SNAP BACK ZONE) SONIC METAL ISOMETRIC Compact Frame NEW Grommet Pattern HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT SOLID FEEL CORE AERO Frame NEW Built-in T-Joint NANOMETRIC X-FULLERENE Ultra Slim Long Shaft Control Support Cap
Every element of this racquet has been designed to increase swing speed. A new frame cross section and ULTRA SLIM LONG SHAFT, together with cutting edge materials NANOMETRIC* and X-FULLERENE, make the NANORAY Z-SPEED the most aerodynamic racquet that YONEX has ever produced. NR-ZSP

*NANOMETRIC is the new material which applies the NANOALLOY TM Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.
YONEX has designed a new grommet pattern called the HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT that has helped us create the smallest frame in our history. The pattern anchors 4 strings horizontally to allow greater flex in the string bed and to create an enlarged sweet spot at the top of the frame. So even off-centre shots can be powerful.

RACQUET TECHNOLOGY FRAME TECHNOLOGY ISOMETRIC
YONEX NANOSCIENCE technology continues to be researched and developed in order to take our racquets to the next level.
ISOMETRIC technology was invented by YONEX to maximise the vital sweet spot area and is now a world leading feature of our racquets. The square shaped head of the racquet means that there are more strings crossing at right angles, resulting in a bigger sweet spot. YONEX continues to develop and enhance ISOMETRIC power, reducing still further the ‘inert’ space around the edge of conventional racquets, creating a far bigger sweet spot than other frames.
This molecular level science is based on extraordinarily small scale advancements in material construction that is invisible to the eye. YONEX are committed to technological developments that together make an big impact on your game.
SOLID FEEL CORE The built-in Solid Feel Core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact.
NEW Grommet Pattern The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more highperformance stringing pattern.
1/1,000 m
NEW GROMMET PATTERN
Conventional Racquet 1/10,000 m
SOUND FILTER Sound Filter uses new materials at the two and ten o’clock positions to reduce only high pitched and dull soundwaves. This produces a louder and sharper sound on impact to unsettle opponents and provides a more aggressive tone to your game for a relentlessly attacking style of play. 1/100,000 m
Sound Filter also reduces uncomfortable sensations from the racquet by rapidly eliminating 31% of vibrations.

Elastic Modulus
Flexural Toughness
‘NANOMESH + CARBON NANOTUBE’ is an exclusive structural material inserted into the frame and/or shaft of the NANORAY series. It significantly increases repulsion power, toughness and impact strength within the racquet. By combining Carbon Nanotube with a resin, the two molecules create a mesh-like construction which delivers a head-light racquet, sharper drive shots, improved strength and faster handling.
06.03.14 22:05
29 NANOAIR SPRING
Airbags act as "NANOAIR" SPRINGS
Nanoair Spring in the resin binds the carbon fibres so that nanoscale air bubbles in the material help the racquet to flex and bend as in a spring. The result is a better transfer of energy from string-bed to shuttle for a more powerful hit.
JOINT TECHNOLOGY NEW Built-in T-Joint
Carbon
MUSCLE POWER Frame Muscle Power locates the string on rounded archways that eliminate stress-load and fatigue through contact friction. This construction creates total unity of the string and frame through closer and tighter contact. Muscle Power Frame
Built-in T-Joint
NEW’ Built-in T-Joint is manufactured from a special lightweight plastic combined with epoxy resin and foaming agent that enhances quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.

DELTA POWER Frame UK PAT. NO. 1388355 GER, DEN, FRA PAT. NO. 1388354
Dura-Frame is installed on the frame of YONEX aluminium racquets. This makes the racquet highly durable and provides solid feeling and face stability.
YONEX has applied the technologies of Aerodynamic Shape and Box Shape to the Delta Power Frame, creating a stable and solid hitting surface without sacrificing power.
AERO + BOX Frame
DX Frame
BOX Frame
Moulded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the YONEX Built-in T-Joint creates a durable and high-strength one-piece frame that is torque-free.
SHAFT TECHNOLOGY Extra Slim
AERO Frame
Ultra Slim Super Slim
Slimmer shaft produces greater flex for increased power and less air resistance for improved racquet handling.
Conventional
AERO Frame: Decreases air resistance and realizes a quicker swing. BOX Frame: Realizes a solid feel at impact. AERO + BOX Frame: "AERO + BOX Frame" combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
A. In comparison to the frame of a conventional racquet, the DX Frame features a wider trench so that impact shock is reduced by distributing weight pressure over a larger area. B. The DX Frame is also thicker and able to stretch like a spring under pressure from above. Impact shock is spread over the whole frame, preventing distortion to the structure.
Ultra PEF Shaft
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.
CAP TECHNOLOGY NEW Control Support Cap
YONEX has designed a new octahedron shaped Control Support Cap that reduces air resistance whilst encouraging nimble handling.
YY Badminton-Katalog 2014 E-A5.indd 29
Control Support Cap The Control Support Cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.
POWER BOOST Cap The POWER BOOST CAP combines hard and soft materials to maximize the shaft’s bending power without losing stability.
