INCREDIBLE POWER & FAST RACQUET HANDLING
Combining incredible power and fast racquet handling for the first time, VOLTRIC is the perfect racquet for players seeking exceptional ‘all-round’ performance.
TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM
Traditionally, extra weight at the top of the racquet frame has increased hitting power but reduced the speed of racquet handling. In contrast, a lighter top to the frame increases speed but causes a loss of hitting power. For the first time, the new TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racquet which achieves the combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling.
VOLTRIC IS POWER The stiff racquet structure at the top of the frame allows the head to bend in a very controlled way and hold shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin frame sides then allow the frame to flex more and transfer more energy to the shuttle. This combination allows you to smash with instant power.
ULTRA SLIM LONG SHAFT Ultra Slim Long Shaft
VOLTRIC IS AGILITY In VOLTRIC, the weight is balanced on the top of the frame and at the joint area which allows good handling while also maintaining power. The thin sides of the frame and at the top of the head reduce air resistance and improve the handling even further. Players can now make a full swing even during short range rallies as VOLTRIC responds instantly to even subtle movements.
SOUND FILTER
SOUND FILTER
THE THINNEST EVER WITH MORE POWER
YONEX has invested five years researching materials which will provide both high strength and high repulsion – a task often thought to be impossible using carbon technology. Finally, YONEX has developed a racquet which achieves the unique combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling.
VOLTRIC IS STRONG SOUNDING Another innovative YONEX technology, Sound Filter uses new materials at the two and ten o’clock positions to reduce only high pitched and dull soundwaves. This produces a louder and sharper sound on impact to unsettle opponents, and provides a more aggressive tone to your game for a relentlessly attacking style of play. Sound Filter also reduces uncomfortable sensation from the racquet by rapidly eliminating 31% of vibrations.

VT80 is more stable compared to conventional racquets due to the presence of NANOPREME in the shaft. When bending and releasing two racquets under the same force, the VT80 racquet rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racquet does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability from VT80 compared to conventional racquets. Epoxy resin
NANOPREMETM
NANOPREME is a new level in ‘Nano-technology’, operating on a scale of less than one billionth of a metre by using an epoxy resin to bind graphite fibres together. NANOPREME overcomes the limited qualities of carbon technology to provide stiffness, high resilience and high repulsion from a single racquet material for the very first time.
