Yonex Badminton rackets

Are you familiar with Yonex badminton rackets?

The Japanese company Yonex has been focusing on badminton since 1957 and has the necessary experience in developing top quality badminton rackets. The Yonex rackets are suitable for beginners to absolute professionals. Have you ever played with a Yonex racket?

Which Yonex badminton racket suits you?

Yonex is one of the best-known badminton brands in the world, focusing on speed, power and control. These three categories make the distinction into which the different racket ranges are divided. The categories serve as a useful guide to the features of the Yonex badminton rackets, and they make it easier for you to narrow down his or her racket choice depending on your personal preferences.

Different Yonex badminton racket series

The Yonex badminton rackets series fall into one of three categories: Power, Speed or Control. An important point to make immediately clear is that power, speed and control are all features that all Yonex badminton rackets have. What differentiates the rackets is the balance between these characteristics, or in other words, which characteristic is relatively stronger in a particular badminton racket.
Say a badminton racket falls into the Power category, this does not mean that it has absolutely no speed and control. What it means is that, on balance, it has slightly more power than the other rackets and so if you are someone who places more emphasis on the power of a badminton racket than on speed and control, then this is the category of rackets that suits you.

Yonex Power badminton rackets

Currently, Yonex has one Power series, namely the Yonex Astrox badminton rackets, where power, control and domination are important. The slogan of the Astrox series is "Lead the attack with increased power and control". Star player Viktor Axelsen has been playing with the Yonex Astrox 100 ZZ for quite some time, the Yonex Astrox 88S Pro is used by Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and the Yonex Astrox 99 Pro was specially designed with Kento Momota. In general, these are mainly head-heavy badminton rackets, allowing you to hit powerful smashes.

Yonex Speed badminton rackets

The Yonex Nanoflare badminton rackets are the main badminton rackets in the Speed series, with the main feature being a head-light balance. As a result, these rackets are super manoeuvrable, fast response and, due to applied technologies, the power is also still present. The marketing slogan of the Nanoflare series is "Maximum shuttle acceleration". Meanwhile, the traditional thinking that headlight badminton rackets have no power no longer applies. It's all about timing, technique, physical skills and personal preferences. The most popular models right now are the Yonex Nanoflare 800 Pro (Ratchanok Intanon), the Yonex Nanoflare Nextage and also the Yonex Nanoflare 1000 is a real winner, which Carolina Marin plays with.

Yonex Control badminton rackets

The acclaimed Arcsaber series is designed for control. One of the most important features is the balance that allows you to keep all control over all your strokes. The Yonex Arcsaber badminton rackets incorporate technology, giving you a few milliseconds extra 'shuttle contact time' when hitting the shuttle. This, in combination with the stable frame, allows you to place the shuttle more precisely.

The Yonex Arsaber rackets were first introduced in 2007 and remain a favourite of many players. The slogan of the Yonex Arcsaber series is "Master of Precision". Most favourite models at the moment are the Yonex Arcsaber 11 PRO (Zheng Si Wei) and the Yonex Arcsaber 7 Pro (Dechapol Puavaranukroh).

Technological developments in Yonex rackets

Yonex badminton rackets not only give you the best performance, but you also give yourself the chance to win. Yonex's technologically advanced rackets allow you to unlock your potential and compete for victory. A small sample of the various technologies used in Yonex rackets are:

• Sonic Flare System
  The SONIC FLARE system provides a powerful rebound and maximum shuttle acceleration, which also allows you to hit back more powerfully.
  
  
• Box Frame
  The BOX Frame design has an ultra-rigid profile that gives a solid feel.
  
  
• Speed-Assist Bumper
  The SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER is an integrated cover plate made of an extremely stiff material that resists deformation. This cover plate is attached to the lower part of the frame to reduce frame distortion and improve rebound performance.
• Aero Compact Frame
  This unique design has two advantages: it improves the reflection of the shuttle while reducing air resistance. The combination of the wide profile frame and the compact frame provides an optimal balance between power and efficiency during play.
  
  
• Rotational Generator System
  In combination with the Rotational Generator System (weight distribution in top and handle), smashes can be hit 2.3° degrees steeper and you can generate 7.1% more power.
  
  
• Namd Technology
• A new dimension graphite, NAMD, is made by bonding nanomaterial directly to the graphite fibre, greatly improving the adhesion of the graphite fibre and resin. This significant improvement creates a shaft that flexes and stores energy, creating explosive power on impact with the shuttle.
  
  
• TRI-Voltage System
  For the first time, the new TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting properties of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racquet that achieves the combination of heavy smashes and fast racquet handling.
  
  
• NANOMETRIC
  NANOMETRIC improves the bond strength between the carbon fibres, allowing Yonex to take the construction of the shaft to the next level. By reducing the amount of carbon in the shaft and making it 60%* thinner than a conventional racquet while maintaining rigidity, Yonex has created a revolutionary lightweight racquet with a lightning-fast frame and control.
