YONEX pride themselves as innovators in the latest and greatest tennis technologies and are committed to pushing the limits of what is possible on court. For over 30 years, the YONEX unique ISOMETRIC technology has helped the world’s top tennis players become Grand Slam champions – Martina Navratilova won both singles and doubles in all tournaments for the first time in history and Martina Hingis became the youngest ever World #1 in 1997. YONEX continually strive for perfection by working with some of the world’s greatest tennis players within their advisory team, all of whom are ‘Proud to Play with YONEX.’ Created by YONEX in 1980, the ISOMETRIC head shape is a unique and evolutionary breakthrough technology in racquet design, and continually surprises the tennis world. In conventional racquets, the sweet spot is where main strings and cross strings meet. The YONEX ISOMETRIC head shape allows us to increase the number of main and cross strings that meet to produce a sweet spot which gives a 10% more effective hitting area for you to make match winning shots.

YONEX evolved Quad Power System technology increases the thickness at all four corners of the racquet, improving frame stiffness and generating more power for your play. By continuing to use NEOFADE along both sides of the frame, plus the newly developed Nylon Composite Grommet, shock and vibration is reduced at the point of impact.
2 New SD-GRID Newly developed by YONEX, the SD (Shock Dampening) GRID sheet is inserted into the shaft of the racquet to absorb vibrations created between the two tubes within the grip – adding even more power to your shots. YONEX conventional
3 New O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) EZONE Xi has a more rounded cross section to that of the YONEX conventional shaft
The neck of the EZONE Xi is flattened more than the YONEX conventional shaft
YONEX improved O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) manufacturing technology introduces rounder shaft corners providing an ideal level of flex, whilst a wider shaft face increases stability - resulting in extended ball dwell time for optimized ball spin and directional control.

Drive or Spin
String angle from grommet
Ideal for players hitting deep into the court with powerful groundstrokes. Grommets are structured to prevent string movement and to maintain higher face tension. 16x20 string pattern provides solid feel at impact for more powerful play.
Sweet spot
For Spin: VCORE 100S String angle from grommet
Ideal for players who roll the racquet across the top of a ball to generate more spin. Grommets are structured so strings pass through the grommet centre with extra clearance. 16x19 string pattern gives more flexibility and greater bite to shots.
Sweet spot
New Frame Shape with Using a revolutionary cross-linking pattern, X-Fullerene bonds the carbon fibres at the top of the frame, preventing the face twisting from hard impacts. A thinner frame is also created, reducing air resistance but retaining quick maneuverability.

WHY JUAN IS PROUD TO PLAY WITH YONEX YONEX continue to develop and evolve the latest in tennis racquet technology. By focusing on and utilizing the most advanced racquet materials and technologies, YONEX will help your game take full advantage of both the court and your opponent. I.P.S. YONEX I.P.S. (Integrated Power Weight System) technology places weight at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions of the frame to give the face a greater moment of inertia.
O.P.S. YONEX O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) manufacturing technology builds the ideal amount of shaft flex at impact into the racquet, extending dwell time for enhanced ball spin and directional control.
Shockless Grommet System YONEX integrates Shockless Grommets at the side and bottom of the frame to minimize muscle fatigue during long matches. Providing a soft feel at impact plus the ability to protect the wrist, forearm and elbow by absorbing shock.
Super Cushion Grip The Super Cushion Grip minimizes vibration. The cushioning performance of the grip helps protect the wrist, forearm and elbow against shockinduced injuries.
Your game must be constantly improving - AND SO SHOULD YOUR EQUIPMENT.

POLYESTER (Monofilament) 16L gauge (1.25mm) Colour: Cobalt Blue ADVANTAGE Pentagon shaped string grips ball with greater accuracy to produce stronger spin.
Spin Performance Test*
POLYTOUR SPIN Ball Flight Simulation Image
Test: number of spins when a non-rotating ball is hit at 40km/h with a 20 degree racquet, during 1 month period. Spin rates are compared to conventional string at 100 spins. 114 spins/Day 1 100 spins /Day 1 110 spins/ 1 month 99 spins/ 1 month
Spin performance test comparing ball flight characteristics between POLYTOUR SPIN and conventional string. POLYTOUR SPIN with Giga Spin Structure delivers greater spin for a higher ball flight and aggressive bounce.

WHY STANISLAS IS PROUD TO WEAR YONEX FOOTWEAR The most advanced YONEX technology ensures absolute protection for your feet.
FIT
Synchro-Fit Insole
Fig1.
YONEX new Synchro-Fit Insole construction allows a closer-fit between shoe and foot, keeping power loss to an absolute minimum to achieve smoother movement and quicker footwork. Fig1. Compared to conventional footwear, the mid to heel area on the insole is lifted to provide a closer-fit between shoe and foot. Fig2. By holding the heel more firmly against the insole, the gap between shoe and foot is reduced, improving comfort and ensuring the foot does not slip forwards inside the shoe.

Double Russel Mesh is an ultra fine mesh that is extremely lightweight and durable. It provides eight times more air-exchange for releasing moisture than ordinary mesh fabric.

3-Layer POWER CUSHION The hard top and bottom layers absorb 30% more shock than our original Power Cushion and provide 5% more repulsion for enhanced transfer of energy. The soft middle layer quickly returns to its original shape after receiving a shock load, converting the shock energy into power for fast and light footwork.

Power Graphite Lite The YONEX Round Sole is designed to provide all-around support for quick and smooth footwork. The Round Sole ensures smooth movements and the transfer of maximum energy.
