RACQuETs VOLTRIC
“My VOLTRIC racquet feels really great; it gives me the power to play with aggression and dominate the court” Jan O. Jorgensen | 2014 Indonesia Open Superseries Premier Winner & European Badminton Championships Gold Medallist
MORE POWER Put your opponents on the back foot and keep them there with the most powerful racquet in the YONEX range. TECHNOLOGy Why 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.
VOLTRIC Is POWER
VOLTRIC Is AGILITy
The stiff structure at the top of the frame allows the head to flex in a controlled way, holding shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin sides also allow more flex in the frame transferring increased energy to the shuttle. With this combination you can smash with instant power.
VOLTRIC 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.
TM
The new E-tune system from YONEX allows you to tune the racquet’s weight balance to fit 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.

RACQuETs NANORAy
“My success is due to my fighting spirit and my NANORAY Z-SPEED, which allows me to hit overhead smashes and drop shots with superior speed.” Carolina Marin | 2014 World Champion
MORE sPEED Dominate the court and keep your opponents on the run with an aerodynamic and lightning-fast NANORAY racquet. TECHNOLOGy Why NANORAY? NANORAY racquets make sure the shuttle spends more time in your opponent’s court. The sleek, streamlined frame means it cuts effortlessly through the air while the ultra-stiff X-FULLERENE shaft boosts repulsion power. Convert your opponent’s shots into fast, deep returns, even with the shortest of swings.
X-FULLERENE is incorporated into the full length of the shaft to increase stiffness by 6% and repulsion power by 4% – giving you a high repulsion performance to hit deep into the opponent’s court, even with a compact swing during high speed rallies. Flexural Strength Force of Repulsion (%) (%)

RACQuETs TECHNOLOGy
TRUSTED BY CHAMPIONS The secret to the dominance of YONEX racquet technology is that we use materials that are precisely engineered at a molecular level invisible to the naked eye. This NANOSCIENCE technology means we can alter the structure of materials to build in strength, flex and power exactly where it’s needed. That’s what gives our racquets the leading edge and why YONEX racquets are trusted by champions.

NANOMETRIC ß
NANOMEsH + CARBON NANOTuBE
Grounded in NANOSCIENCE, this material binds carbon fibres tightly together one-by-one without any gaps, for enhanced strength.
Unique structural carbon materials are an integral part of the NANORAY racquet series. Incorporated into parts of the frame and shaft they increase strength, give sharper handling and boost repulsion power.
Graphite carbon fibres bound with epoxy resin boost repulsion power and strength.
Tiny air pockets in the racquet’s carbon structure act like a spring, giving a better transfer of energy from the string-bed to the shuttle for a more powerful shot.

FRAME TECHNOLOGy sBZ (sNAP BACK ZONE)
TM
The square-shaped ISOMETRIC frame is designed to keep vertical strings similar length, as well as the horizontal to produce an expanded sweet spot directions.
shape at a strings in all
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.
ISOMETRIC is a trademark of YONEX Co., Ltd.
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.
TRI-BuMPER Patent Pending
The unique grommet pattern allows strings to run vertically through to the string bed, adding more flex and creating a wider, enlarged sweet spot.
The tungsten infused grommet helps maximise contact time between the shuttle and strings, giving more power.
Patent Pending
LsC system Shock-absorbing material called Elastomer is included in the bottom of the frame to reduce the impact shock and stress on players’ elbows.
sOLID FEEL CORE All YONEX Japanese-built racquets use a shock-absorbing core to stop harmful vibrations travelling through the shaft.
NEW Grommet Pattern Our single-pass grommet design has more holes than a conventional racquet for a higherperformance stringing pattern.
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.
REXIL Fiber is an original high quality material, developed by YONEX to exceed the repulsion and shock absorption performances of normal materials. TOUGHLEX is a ‘sticky’ resin which delivers high flexibility and intensity. High resilience and flexibility help players to hit easy clear shots.
sONIC METAL
An 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.
FRAME TECHNOLOGy AERO + BOX Frame
AERO + BOX Variframe
AERO Frame: The AERO Frame cuts air resistance for a faster swing.. BOX Frame: The BOX Frame has an ultra-stiff profile for a solid feel.
Aerodynamic 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.
AERO + BOX Frame: AERO and BOX frame profiles are combined on some racquets to give both a faster swing and more solid feel.
BOX Frame
AERO Frame
JOINT TECHNOLOGy 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.
CAP TECHNOLOGy 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.
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.
T-ANCHOR The T-ANCHOR increases stiffness for a faster recovery.
sHAFT TECHNOLOGy
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.
slim shafts
YONEX slim shafts are designed to slice effortlessly though the air and have greater flex to generate extra power.
