Playability and Technology
Heavyweight for the Advanced Player
At 330 grams, this racket is designed for players who have the power to hit full, aggressive shots. The 31.0 cm headlight balance point makes the racket surprisingly easy to swing, despite its heavy weight. This gives the racket a balanced feel, ideal for players who want control and precision without sacrificing speed and maneuverability.
Power and Control in Perfect Harmony
What makes this racket special is that it not only excels in control, but also offers a lot of power. This is partly made possible by the 3D Vector Shaft technology , which provides extra stiffness in the frame. This technology increases the torsional stiffness, which results in more stability and power when hitting the ball. The well-known Yonex Isometric blade shape also provides a larger sweet spot, giving you more consistency and comfort, even with off-center hits.
Spin and Comfort
The BT Hybrid Stringing System contributes to the spin capabilities of the racket. The variation in the curves of the tubes gives you more grip on the ball, which is ideal for players who want to add a lot of spin to their strokes. This system also gives the racket a softer feel, which increases comfort, even with powerful strokes. Despite the control-oriented character of this racket, the playing experience is smooth and comfortable.
