TO DAY IS N O O R D I NARY DAY

Look around. Blue skies, wide with potential. Green fields, full of opportunity. Nothing is out of bounds. It’s the perfect day to make something perfect, decide it’s not perfect and rework it, until it is. Perfect. So much to do. I will make light, lighter and effort, effortless. I will make shapes that have never been shaped before. I will turn wood into graphite, and graphite into gold. And when I’m done, I will be pleasantly surprised that I’ve done it again. Yes, today is no ordinary day. Today will be the greatest day of my life’s work. Until, perhaps, tomorrow.

SIGNATURE YONEX TECHNOLOGY SINCE 1980

CONVENTIONAL ROUND FRAME

ISOMETRIC™ RACQUET

100 inch2

100 inch2

7% LARGER SWEET SPOT Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC™ delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

1980

First YONEX ISOMETRIC racquet: R-1


OVAL PRESSED SHAFT First introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 - our first aluminum tennis racquet - the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) is still incorporated into our most popular racquet series today. The Oval Pressed Shaft is designed to give players more spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimizing vibrations.

REVOLUTIONARY GRAPHITE Staying true to our roots, our graphite is sourced and engineered in Japan, giving our research and development team the opportunity to utilize a wide range of materials that suits players of all levels.

Aggressive, attacking spin is achieved through a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure that binds the graphite fibers together, which reduces energy loss. Due to its resilient properties, the material flexes and provides quick snapback.

A high strength, high modulus graphite achieves the rare combination of frame stability and flex through its unique properties TORAYCA® M40X is a next-generation carbon fiber developed by Toray Industries, Inc.

Namd is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.

VIBRATION DAMPENING MESH First used in our snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of our racquet series. VDM is a stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision.

RACQUET TECHNOLOGY


6TH GENERATION

The VCORE features a toolbox of spin waiting to be unlocked – heavy spin, attacking spin, topspin, backspin, side spin…every type of spin. Think of a fast, red car – speedy, slick, smooth – that’s the 6th-generation VCORE. New materials combine with innovation to increase string snapback and movement, giving players access to the most spin in Yonex tennis history. Yes, it has even more RPM’s than the previous model*, producing trajectories your opponent has never seen before.

STRING SYNC GROMMETS

LINER TECH

FOR BALL BITE AND SPIN A thin grommet nozzle is inserted into a larger frame hole allowing the string to move together with the grommet for faster snapback.

FOR MAXIMUM SPIN POTENTIAL Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots.

2 G - N A M D TM F L E X F O R C E AERODYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY

FOR AGGRESSIVE, ATTACKING SPIN Incorporated in the upper throat to the lower frame, new Flex Force graphite allows for the racquet to quickly flex and snapback for maximum spin potential.

A FASTER FRAME FOR MORE SPIN Aero Trench and Aero Fin Technology reduce air resistance for easy maneuverability and added spin.

VIBR ATION DAMPENING MESH (VDM) FOR ADDED TOUCH AND PRECISION A stretchy mesh material is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations.

There is always something alluring about a polished, traditional frame. The VCORE PRO combines the feel and flex of a traditional racquet with modern, ball-crushing technology to provide pinpoint control. Namd graphite combined with a thinner, longer shaft beam and lowered throat help activate an aggressive, heavy ball, resulting in 4% more spin and a 10-centimeter higher bounce* to catch your opponent off guard.

TENNIS SHOES

Tennis is a game of millimeters, inches, grams, and RPMs. Every little detail matters. From placing our signature POWER CUSHION + technology into the soles, to perfectly positioning asymmetrical laces, our shoes are specifi cally designed to support your movement on the tennis court. “Your shoes carry you through those tough fi ve-set matches,” said Stan Wawrinka, who won three Grand Slam titles in the ECLIPSION series. “Stability and shock absorption are key in getting you from point to point, and ultimately, to win the match.”

SHOCK ABSORPTION

REPULSION

A raw egg can be dropped from 12 meters above the POWER CUSHION+ mat, rebounding to a height of 6 meters without breaking.* *Tested by YONEX

*Research by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association & Boken Quality Evaluation Institute (based on JIS standards) in comparison to conventional cushioning material (EVA).

A lightweight, impact-absorbing material developed independently by YONEX which quickly returns to its original shape after receiving a shock load, converting the shock energy into power for fast and light footwork.

GRIPS

STAN WAWRINKA (SUI)


GRIPS GRIPS FOR YOUR GAME The connection between your hand and the racquet is often overlooked but can make the biggest difference. YONEX designs a range of overgrips to fi t every player’s preference. From Super Grap - YONEX’s most popular overgrip that will have been sold enough to wrap around the world fi ve times - to Dry Grap, which wicks away moisture and provides a dry feeling even in humid conditions, every YONEX overgrip is designed to make that connection between your hand and your racquet one you can trust.

5 X AROUND THE WORLD Launched in 1987, YONEX‘s best-selling overgrip - SUPER GRAP has sold enough grips to wrap around the world five times. SUPER GRAP (AC 102) enhances the playability of your racquet by absorbing shock and moisture to give you outstanding levels of feel and control.
