Isometric: The Isometric Square Head Shape reduces the inert space found in a conventional round frame resulting in superior maneuverability and a 10% bigger sweetspot when compared to an ordinary racquet. The sweetspot is the area of a racquet where the longest main and longest cross strings meet in the stringbed. In an ordinary round frame racquet, the sweetspot is where the 8 main and 11 cross strings meet. In the Yonex Isometric Square Head racquet, 10 main and 13 cross strings meet. With more strings of equal length and a larger effective hitting area in the stringbed, the Isometric Square Head Shape provides consistently accurate shots, more power, control and more effective off-center hits. Hexagon Cross Section: A unitized box and triangular cross-section produces more head speed for nimble maneuverability and a solid feel at impact. Oval Pressed Shaft: OPS technology builds into the throat, the right amount of flex for an extended dwell time for easier spin and directional control. . Elastic Ti: Elastic Ti is 44% less elastic and 8% stronger compared with the previous best Ti alloy. The lower a shaft's elasticity, the more it flex it provides, the higher its strength, and the more resiliency it delivers Flex/Torsion Control Shaft: The front of the shaft is 14% wider than a conventional racquet's. The wider YONEX shaft increases the racquet's ability to provide high repulsion power, maneuverability and to generate solid and stable shots at full swing. IPS: Integrated Power Weight System positions extra weight at the sides of the frame to give the face a greater moment of inertia. Shockless Grommets: Shockless Grommets minimize the muscle fatigue of long play. Soft Grommets: RDS Racquets feature soft grommets in the corners of the frame. These function to reduce the shock of off-center hits which, in effect, widens the sweetspot further still. |
